Ok, TBH I'd rather post something more positive, but occasionally things happen which get you going.
I got a PM from a new poster enquiring about the ND2 Baitboat, quoting he had seen a previous post of mine and asking about battery life.
I could have just pointed him to a review I have posted which explains most things, but as he was new, had a query, I thought that either telling him to do a search, or even providing a link to said item may seem a bit dismissive so I sent him a detailed response despite being quite busy and banged it off. 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back, but hey Ho! helping another angler isa good thing - right?
That was it. **** all response. No cheers👍. No comeback. No telling me I'm a ****er. Zilch. Niet. Bugger all.
It's not a new phenomenon either and not just new members. One of our more senior (ish) members who sits on a very high horse and loves telling people how to live their lives is also guilty of basic rudeness that his parents should have taught him different is guilty also.
Why are people basically so rude and frankly bad mannered. Ask a question, someone takes the trouble to answer, then why not just acknowledge it, even if it doesn't solve all your problems. Politeness cost nothing and two or three word typed is sooo easy.

People below a certain age don't know how to communicate with the rest of the human race.
Poor parenting, a piss poor education system, lack of discipline and of course all their formative years spent on a games machine in mum's back bedroom.
F****** Woke wetwipes the lot of them.

I agree.
The youth think they are owed it and it's noticeable when you find the polite ones which shows how endemic it is.
But I have also seen and recently read that there are some real rude old men, who should know a lot better. I'm 57 and have probably had less than a handful of grumpy moments as fish mainly syndicate type waters - yet you still get moaners and stroke pullers that almost take enjoyment falling out. It amazes me how anyone that goes fishing to relax can rev themselves up to create trouble when there is none.
I've messaged people on here for help and have responded to requests and have always had responses of thanks and done the same. I've also purchased off here and it's been an absolute delight and even when there is a bump in the road communication and spirit has been spot on.
For thread responses I always try and use “in my opinion” as I'm not saying I'm right or your wrong, moreover I hope this is helpful, yet you still get some snappy responses that are rude. 99% of people are always trying to help, about 30% lack manners or social skills - it's a shame and it took only months for the covid goodwill to pass.

I've had plenty of PM's as well as info I've given in threads over the years, the PM's are generally asking for information on who runs a lake or who do I contact or if I have contact info I could forward, some reply with a well worded thank you others a simple thumbs up, then plenty who I never hear back from, the forum is full of all types it soon builds a picture of who the selfish ill mannered dragged up rather than brought up ones are.

Quote... I'm 57.
57???
Clearly you were 57 in 2012
I currently have 129 unread private messages. I thought the flashing icon was decoration. 129 people likely think I'm an absolute barstewerd too then. There's an orderly queue somewhere to join
