'It's a shame acrimonious posters chased RW away'

Interesting thing for me on the 'shade' placed on Mungofitch last week. I was not aware of previous comments and had thought it was a criticism of my post and me. From memory it was referring to parenting tone and boring float discussion.

It felt pretty crap when I thought it was me and was equally sorry to learn it was directed at Mungofitch and it was not the first time.

I am taking solace in the belief that Mungofitch is rational enough to know that online comments are a blunt tool for human interaction and certainly inefficient. Online comments are just so prone to misunderstanding. Brains trying to sync. Arguing your case back and forth would be almost impossible.

I don't get why making personal comments would be useful here. I am sure most people are interested in investing facts, opinions and experiences. And they want them from anyone willing to contribute. We can all assess and take from them what we wish.

To criticise the most generous poster is odd. If anyone already knows the content. It's the old online story. You don't have to read it. It might not have been for your benefit.
