If I want to say I will burn all his records if he sends my dame back to Cumbria with a corncob (er, hair clip) in her hand, I will.
I don't see any point in praising everyone to death and there's no one I like enough to praise all the time anyway.
But that kind of commentary whether you mean it in a mean way, a humorous one or just an irreverent one is ALWAYS going to upset someone either way. That's why people are not happy here and it's best that they go to places where people don't talk like that and agree with them.

I agree with you. You should be able to say if you like or don't like something, without having someone else attack you for your views. No one's going to agree with everyone all the time because we are all different people with different points of view, likes and dislikes etc... It's not the fact that anyone on this board disagrees with anyone else on this board that's a problem. It's the fact that sometimes the disagreements become personal or a member is mocked for their point of view or for asking questions that's a problem.
I doubt that most of the members on this board would stand by and watch a kid or a group of kids bully another kid and not say something to try and stop it, and just because this is a message board and not a school playground does not change the fact that it still bulling and very distasteful.
If my being nice to you and trying to complement you upsets you, I will quit. Why do I do it? Oh I don't know....maybe because it appears that you are in a bad mood and I'm trying to make you feel better or maybe because I know attacking you will not endear me to you and I am trying to be your friend. However, either way I know it's hard to attack someone when they are trying to be nice to you, so I will stop.
