I would have thought that any uncalled for PMs can be forwarded straight to a MOD, end of story for the author one would presume.

Well, sometimes things are interpreted differently.

I received some weird PMs from one member. They didn't seem offensive at first glance, but after receiving them over and over again it just got creepy. So it's not always easy to understand how someone is reacting to things, I guess...

PS. Not mine of course.

Jen, that's really a lousy thing for one of our members to do. It makes me angry. Many of us communicate and share things about our lives outside this forum. I for one tend to trust TRF members and regard them, including you, as good people. But as you know, there are always creeps. I hope they are found out, and kicked out. Period.

Yes, I agree with you that a female mod would be a good idea. I hope our admin considers this in the future.

Hang in there!

Wow, hasn't this thread taken a turn for the

Welcome back Joe, or is ot Bubba, or is it Porkie ?

daveathall · 19 August 2009, 02:22 AM

Again, I would suggest forwarding all of them to a MOD.

PhilM · 19 August 2009, 08:02 PM

Just reading all of this thread has given me a headache... the last two pages has made me realise why I love coming to this forum

However trying to get the thread back on topic, I do hope that our female members do keep posting as to be honest it's such a nice change to have ladies posting on a watch forum instead of loads of blokes as in my opinion it's another great thing that make TRF different from all of the other sites out there

You guys need to get in touch and connect with your feminine side

Too much testosterone for my liking

Listen ole' MuttonHead76, be careful of how you use the word drag, given your sorted history.

ijen0311 · 20 August 2009, 12:16 PM

these threads drive me crazy when they get hijacked like this.

I feel like I'm on the outside of an inside joke

You just have to go with the flow, Jen. When it comes to hijacking, we are all equals among equals. There are no insiders or outsiders. Anyone can start or participate in a good hijack. That's what it's all about.

To be frank (and I'm not!

), some of the threads that get hijacked NEED to be hijacked. I've seen many of them that if they hadn't been hijacked, there wouldn't be anything of any interest in them at all. It also assists in diverting attention away from a potential problem or blowup by interjecting some humour into an otherwise volatile situation. It's also a lot of fun.

I don't know much about spaceflight Mike, but that milkshake I had yesterday was full of some kind of homogenized stuff!

I agree with this since in the process of discussing an issue, someone may lend a new perspective or present something of interest which motivates others to take a new direction. Also, the disallowing of hijacking (and the opportunity for diversity) leads to predictability and boredom. What fun would it be to open a thread and not be able to deviate even a modicum from the initial topic?

Secondly, when things get heated, hijacking often provides an effective escape valve, giving posters a chance to de-escalate and even share a laugh. As we all know, this can sometimes do wonders in reversing an unpleasant situation.

Nope. You're not frank, but I am.
