A Heads Up

by John Taylor
13 replies
Some of us are getting really irritated by the
childish behaviour that goes on in here. This
is supposed to be a Copywriting Forum. Not
a kindergarten.

Pay Attention, Im only going to say this once:

The bitching, whining, mud slinging and taking
of pot shots STOPS right here and right now.

Else, some of you.. Yes, I'm talking about several
people.. Will have great difficulty logging into the
forum. Period.

Do I make myself clear?

John

      Mark,

      There's one overiding rule in the entire forum.
      If you have a problem with another Warrior,
      you deal with it privately.

      The alternative is to report any post that you
      feel goes over the line.

      Then you get on with the discussion in an adult
      and professional manner.

      I wonder if any of you realise just how much
      potential damage you're inflicting on your online
      reputation with all the bickering?

      Seriously.. Play Nice!

    OK, it seems that the majority are "getting" it.

    There has been some appalling behaviour in this
    forum and there's no point going over who said
    what to whom or trying to lay blame. Nor is there
    any point in being defensive or trying to legitimize
    it. What's done is done.

    This is a line in the sand.

    From this point on everyone finds a way of working
    together in a polite, professional and constructive
    manner.

    There's nothing wrong with friendly banter, However,
    even the slightest hint of things getting personal and
    well... you really don't want to even risk finding out.

      One thing you need to remember is this

      The Internet has a LONG memory

      Since I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY
      I don't take Cr@p from anybody

      When I first came online I got into a TON of
      fights on Forums

      Since then I have mellowed

      But there is still stuff out there from YEARS
      ago that I wish wasn't there

      So next time you get ready to push enter just
      imagine your mom is looking over your shoulder

        Jack, I remember not so long ago, you made some posts elsewhere that kinda rubbed people the wrong way.

        When you realized that you were coming across like an insulting, big-headed jerk (which was not your intent) you clarified, apologized, and dialed it back immediately.

        In other words, man, you showed Sincerity and Class.

          Collette,

          "Yeah, but" is one of those ambiguous phrases
          that can push people's buttons.

          Such phrases have no place in this thread.

          I still slip back into My Brooklyn Personality some times

          You can take the Boy out of Brooklyn but ...

          A few years ago I wouldn't have apologized :0)

          I'm trying ... I'm trying!

    Hmmm...

    Is copywriting such a small, competitive market that copywriters have to go for each other's throats? Interesting. I think I'll get into the copywriting gig

      Yeah. We have egos the size of Mt Rushmore
      Why is that, Paul? Have I - have we - stumbled onto the WWE of IM?

    Just in case anyone wonders why Kenneth
    made the above post...

    The line in the sand has been crossed yet
    again.

    Don't bitch and whine when we crack down
    on stupidity. That is, of course, if you still
    have access to the forum.
