mangogrooveworkshop and scumbags
I don't normally get bugged by people on here and I understand that there is a scumbag posting on here.
However, I don't really appreciate mangogrooveworkshop's signature giving me a personalised message suggesting that I am a scumbag.

Perhaps a U2U may help?

First time I read it I was a bit puzzled - then I realised that it was a badly-aimed & badly-worded warning to the recent PITA.
Now I just ignore it...

I'm not really that annoyed and don't really take it personally. I just feel it's a bit over the top. Perhaps I should have just
sent a U2U

LOL I've never noticed that one myself, it calls me that as well.
Do I get extra pay for being promoted
Methinks it's a fun thing and after recent events we all need to lighten up.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Yes - let's not get all hot under the collar about it, otherwise the scumbag in question has won another round in his absence.
I just ignore the signature in question - it's irrelevant to me and mine.
Smile! You know it makes sense!

I have chosen to ignor it but do find it personally offensive.

A guilty conscience perhaps ? and I thought I was the touchy one .......
Patrick "mango" IS ONE OF THE GOODS GUYS
SO kindly leave him alone.
He may be one of the "Good guys" but it invades my personal space and i would wish this invasion to stop befor i had to send U2U's
etc.
Do the right thing?

FYI - you were not the first... it first appeared on here about 3 years ago. I died out as people got bored with it... it isn't offensive to me
as it is displayed to make people appear better than they are, which they are not.

I didn't mean to upset anyone and I have nothing against mangogrooveworkshop or anyone else here - all the regulars seem like good guys.
It just feels uncomfortable seeing a message with the internet equivalent of your home address saying that the occupant of this address is a scumbag.
I know that it is not really personal and I know that it is just an automatically generated thing that everyone seeing the signature gets. It just
feels uncomfortable.

mango's comments are directed at only one individual, who whowly deserves the tag, he is into german sausages and live pigs.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I like the "scumbag" thing, It's funny that you can identify me.
I don't get hurt by the comment
I think it's humor
So lighten up. It's not like he's posting personal hurting topic OWE.
