I think it's much more than a difference in humour.
thats just a small aspect of the problem.

not only more acceptable but its part of the culture and our God given right for living in such a lame weather country.
Stems from the school system I say.

Perhaps it coz they thing 'drive by's' are just their kind of sarcasm?.. diff'rent strokes etc.

I cleaned up my act 9936 posts ago, but your right. :)

yea that humo(u)r difference is pretty important.
so what are the main differences between UK/US humour? I've noticed sarcasm&irony don't go down too well after 1pm GMT. Does that mean it's more acceptable to be mean in the UK?
- jevad0
I don;t think the US/UK humor differences help too much either.
Like I know when Kez or Engage or Rasko etc are taking the piss...Americans probably don't - because it's an entirely different sense of humour.
We are all only humans after all...

very true Uncle
but if we get deleted, flagged and banned for making these comments it's useless to make them.
It's just a 2 second rush and that's not worth it.I love Kezza's comments because I know he is pretty harmless. But the 'outside world' might see that differently.

I hear you crap, but we are all here waiting for it to kick off, come on admit it! I work hard and this is my little escape, yes enjoy helping people out if I can but we all enjoy the more off the wall sh*t, it keeps us sane, you can't gag NT players like kezza, save, rasko etc.

Who has been flogged? Haven't noticed any particulary harsh crits recently, apart from Derek and he'd set himself up for that by hyping himself to death in an earlier thread.
Ah shit, I'll probably get a flag for saying that.
- pascii0
I believe we have the luck that few people show the same shit over and over again and wait for a shoulder bat
thanks god, it's not art school!

I think there is a clear line between helping someone out - being contrsuctive and offering advice - and just belligerantly slating someone's work....
It's that fine line that need not be crossed.
i.e. Nothing nice or helpful to say - don't say it.
It's really just as simple as that.
And if someone is pissing you off on a thread - then let them be the dick - be the better person by making your clear, succinct point and then dropping it.
My new book - "4 easy steps to newstoday glory" will be available from amazon on friday.

who was flogged??
- cookie0
Yeah - I think sometimes people on here are mega harsh on peoples work - specially considering I'm sure there's people here who are still studying/making a name for themselves and so on - MAybe positive way to crit work....?
But I'm still gonna berate people.
oh yea.....

I hope not Vespa
I am very serious about this.
It would be a shame if this thread gets deleted before our fellow Nt'ers from the US and other time zones get online.
