Of course you should. But you can't convey the same pisstaking tone with text on an Internet forum as you can clutching a pint and using body language/winks/nudges in real life. If you called someone a twat in person with a smile and a nudge then chances are they wouldn't take it seriously but if you called that same person a twat on here then they might take it to heart and go nuclear in response.
That goes doubly so if you've never met the twa...er person.
That's why there's so many problems in this forum ![]()
There's also Keyboard Warriors as El Jarvo would put it; most of them just trolls with nowt to say about New Order whether it be records or gigs. Alot of the worst offenders in BCD never post about the band in the other forums which I personally just don't get.
