very well said seren
there was some sense being said on the fetch thread by RooA as well.
as someone who has been on fetch since the beginning in 2005 but also stayed on Runnersworld (been on here since 2004) the idea that fetch is some sort of super-friendly place to everyone and Runnersworld is full of evil monsters who ridicule and bully people is at best inaccurate bordering on fantasy in the fetchies' minds and at worst quite offensive, as i and i expect most of the other RW posters on this thread have developed a lot of friendships and shared a lot of good times with people on this forum - and no doubt a few on fetch or who are users of both sites as well.
site have the superior runners which will be RW.
Not saying they a bunch of chickens.
I doubt that we live in a Manichean universe where all Fetchies are good and all RW-ers are bad or vice versa.
Oh dear - is this STILL rumbling on..?
Pink is just not his colour, but it sounds like there's something I should know

install Windows 7. Not happy but thats computers.
Why have the us and them attitude? I've had the 'fetch is friendlier' messages before all because sometimes debates get heated... But that's just real life, is it not?
There are some who still take that view. But she had courage and guts to do so.
There is a thread on FE that picked her and that she have `issues` as well as other
things. I don't think this is what started it, just some banter. But it then somehow
went on about the RW forum. But I felt annoyed that they 'named her' and her condition
on that particular thread. Something us lot wouldn't do on this site.
As a former Fetchie I'd just like to try and defend the site in general. As ever (and I'm sure its the same over here) its the same old usual suspects who spoiled it over there who are trying to kick off over here. Fetch was in my experience populated by the usual array of absolutelygenuinelylovely types mingled with a smattering of complete tits who seem to revel in starting the inane attention seeking threads that RW has experienced of late. Generally the tits came out on top, as they do. Unfortunately its always the latter who seem to sully the reputation of what is essentially a second to none runner's tool (one which I still heartily recommend to fellow runners on an all too regular basis).
That said, some of the somewhat 'superior' attitudes that have been displayed in this and other threads started by said suspects, have been less than appealing and certainly not comfortable to read. It must be a truly precarious balancing act on top of that self constructed pedestal.
Anyway forumites, cut the real honest running loving Fetchies some slack,go over there and have an unbiased look, try to ignore Dirt Monkey (he truly is an irritating twat of monumental proportions) and lets all aim for a nice cosy inter group hug across the bandwidth, tallest to the back please.
Afterall, its only online shit. Iinnit.
I have nothing to add that will resolve the debate, only that I once put my willy in a FE member's mouth.
Do I win 5 pounds?
I signed up years ago to see what the fuss was about, and quickly left. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I only have a fetch account so I can start 'Is RW down?' type threads if (shock, horror) I can't get onto RW.
Not sure why I do this since it's usually pretty obvious if the site is down, but I like having these inane observations confirmed by others.
A number of things. The biggest clue is that I can't get into the site despite hitting refresh every 15 seconds. The second is usually the 20 or so threads on a totally different website asking if the site is down.
Heh heh!
I did start this thread last week to try and get some tounge in cheek banter going, purely because I was a bit bored.
If you read my first post, it say's "Who would win a fight"
I didn't say that FE / RW was better than the other. I did suggest FE was winning because there weren't many RW members joining in.
I figured asking "What would be your weapon of choice" would act as a getting to know you session, to find out a bit about the personalities on RW that I'm not aware of and vica-versa.
I thought it would be a good way of passing a Friday afternoon. To have a bit of a laugh.
I appologise if no one found the thread amusing or entertaining in any way.
