What we have all got to remember is that this is an internet forum - and because of this there is the means for potentially billions (give or take a few) of people world wide to come and post on here.
And so I think that the odd poor taste in comment and lack of humour in otherwise well intentioned views from what really is a minority of posts that we receive on MFAT is nothing to be too worried about. It could be a whole lot worse!
MFAT is without a shadow of a doubt THE MOST professional forum based discussion on anything that I have ever been a part of, and I whole heartedly beleive that it supplies the most comprehensive resource for anybody seriously considering the Royal Marines as a career choice.
Much of this status is owed to those 'Old and Bold' who have been there and done it - because we know all to well, it is easy to just sit around and speculate until the cows come home. Much of the reliable and certified advice is from them and we should all be very greatful for that.
I have only witnessed one post that I beleive to have been severily out of order, and this was a recent one by 'milestone'. I do not know what he wrote in the post but from the title - "You are all just wannabe marine faggots" I can imagine it was not advice on doing more press ups!!
I think that this is sad and I do not know what sparked him to write this.
Other than that I beleive that the high integrity of the forums is well maintained and whilst there is at times too much emphasis on spelling, I love the fact that I do not have to read things in 'text speak' abbreviated form and then try to figure out what the person was saying like on so many other forums lol!!
But if we keep losing people at this rate then people will suffer for it - not just us current lot, but any future people wishing to ask questions.
I personally think that nearly every subject imaginable has been covered at some point, but there are those times when a new subject is bought up which in future we may not have the experienced and qualified members to serve a quantiifiable response.
We recently lost James_M and hopfully he will be the last.
Basically guys what im saying is this - We just need to let some of the small stuff go, just imagine how bad it could be (some forums are full of jack asses like milestone).
Oh and in closing a little message to milestone - Sort your f8ckin life out you looser, because if you ever do get to CTC i hope you bump into a few of us "wannabe marine faggots"
(Mods - if you think this is just going to spark a whole load more bitching --which was not the intention-- then please feel free to remove the post)
cheers,
As you say, I love you all too much, and in that way
