quite

for example, today i posted a question about someone trying to steal my number plate and got some strange replies, but i didn't feel that they were "wrong" in any way as they were just jokes that my mates would come out with

and they weren't directed at my family but me, and i don't mind people ribbing me if i put up a silly post as i can sit here and try and get along with it or defend myself

but for some people, it seems that they get more a a boost from being nasty rather than just being funny, but as that is such a fine line, i try very hard not to go to that sort of vicinity

and yes, there does seem to have been a general maturing of the posts in the new year so whatever has happened, seems to be working

to everyone invovled
