CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted July 24, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 24, 2003 Jay said: Im suprised that you have all taken it so seriously when I assumed that with u all thinking you were the "intelligent" people on the site, you would have realised that it was tounge in cheek. I know what you're trying to say here Jay. However, someone who didn't know you would probably think you are a bit arrogant for thinking you are so funny, that your comments are "obviously" meant in jest. N.B. I acknowledge that in some of your comments, you explicitly said you are joking, but not all of them. I note that your "digs" at the supposed "serious forum people" are pretty relentless and also gratuitous, e.g. your comment about us thinking we are the "'intelligent' people"! If you think I can't take a joke, then you don't know me very well. But it is very easy (and cheap) to say something harsh, then say you were "only joking" afterwards.

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted July 24, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 24, 2003 P.S. This is nothing to do with my pride: I'm not embarrassed to admit that I didn't realise you were joking all along. This is to do with the fact that, as Aleksandra said, it gives the board a cliquey image if everybody is constantly having to second-guess who's joking and who's not!

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted July 24, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 24, 2003 Another great post Aleksandra! You've pretty much summarised exactly what I thought about this subject. Especially these bits: Aleksandra said: to new people like myself, it's getting difficult to tell who is joking in their put-downs and who actually means it. And that makes a big difference to whether people will want to meet you or not. ... But, I tend to post in the serious forum. I really like it there, and don't think that "serious" means crap or boring. On the other hand, I might argue that the random bollox forum = crap and boring!! Each unto their own! Also, if it's clear that they know each other, then whatever they say TO each other is ok and often funny - Creamy's comments being a case in point. ... Perhaps it's some sort of rule of "initiation" that you only want thick skinned people that will "take it on"?! Exactly. Jay, are you saying that anyone who doesn't "get" your sense of humour is unwelcome on this board? Aleksandra, I've met Jay in person and I know he's harmless. But I have to confess that he and I have very different senses of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me not considering myself a "true" member yet that's because I haven't posted much, and because it always takes me longer to start to feel belonging to any group. But if you feel you've found your place in CTW and you're happy with the dynamics of it, then I'm happy for you - enjoy! Cheers A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Promotors CreamyC Posted July 24, 2003 CTW Promotors Share Posted July 24, 2003 I have to say that I am totally with jay on this one, it was a deliberate attempt at winding people up and it worked, I do things exactly the same. The difference however, is that Jay has a job and therefore cant come on here as much therfore people dont know him as much as me therefore people dont know how to take him. I do also have a job but do [censored] all therefore I sit on my fat arse all day and do buggery apart from take the piss out of everyone, is it fun? Yes it is, I love it. Now can we forget this sorry arsed post and move on because what was funny and has now gone stale. And it stinks of a donkeys [censored]. PS. Alexandra, do you have a photo ??

As for my photo - guess that's a wind up too I think I'm going to leave this one alone now. CTW should maybe stand for Cryptic Teenage-like Wit. There!

CTW Members Wonky Posted July 24, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted July 24, 2003 just to clarify, hook line and sinker means everyone fell for it, as in catching a fish and winding it in. hence the hook hence the line and suprisingly also the sinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont agree. The serious forums are for serious debates, not for jokes. Problem is none of the mods as well as me spotted it was a joke (why we would assume it was - it was placed in the serious forums) and so therefore it wasnt moved out to 'Jokes & Fun Stuff' at the outset. No one is really at fault here so its not really worth debating it any further. Quote James@ClubTheWorld.uk CTW Admin | ClubTheWorld.uk | Twitter | Instagram Clubbing the world, together ...
