tiddles Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 its diffrent. it shows how trusting shetlanders are to still pick up strangers. does the lady have a back up team as alone woman getting lifts is not always wise. ye she has a lady and a dog called Roo follow her in a camper and she also has radio contact with her at all times. i have to admit to being curious too, so stopping to pick her up wasnt hard. lol she really is just a nice person, theres nothing strange about her at all.

Longdog Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Saw her going up the Scord yesterday, must have been the camper waiting in the view point at the top. Thought it was odd her walking up there with the traffic to her back and not hitching Had a lovely smile on her face and a wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanofNess Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Edit: I'm not going to be hypocritical just to please you lot. I'm well aware of how the project came about and I'm not the only person to comment on it being a daft idea. I don't think they are asking anyone to be hypocritical. Seems more like they would like you to occasionally keep your opinions to yourself, particularly when the opinion is critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 ^ Why though? That would be censorship. Wouldn't just not reading the posts of anyone the complainer(s) suspect may have a negative opinion of something, be a more sensible approach? Shetlink - Shetland's Online Community: share information, share resources and communicate ideas There'll need to be a change of tagline if its only positive/supportive ideas that are going to be unconditionally welcome.

JohanofNess Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Personally speaking I don't think it's censorship asking folk to think before they speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 ^ I couldn't agree more, however when someone is "told" they should keep quiet as their opinion is probably a negative one, which is what Fatal Paper Cut said on the previous page, that's telling folk to can it unless they're going to praise it. Which is censorship rather than accusing folk of lack of thought in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanofNess Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 How I read Fatal Paper Cut's comments were more an expression of frustration and not an explicit shut up. I agree not every thread on Shetlink should be happy clappy everything is great and don't say otherwise love fest. However, there are too many times a thread gets dragged off on a tangent because of negative comments that sometimes don't have to be made.
