If you have asked the person and they won't give you a reason then I don't see what you can do but ignore it.
Is there just a chance it could be nothing, just a person in a world of their own who maybe happens to have not such a smiley face ?
Either way I would ignore it, life is too short to be stressed over something like this.

just ignore it small minded folk with nothing better to do!!!:roll:
What you would call "A Storm in a Tea Cup" Report to the Police that someone is giving you a Dirty Look, LOL, I should think NOT.
Just walk on by and forget all about it, if you ingnore them long enough they will get the message.
I'll take two dozen please!!
Woops, sorry, I thought the thread title was "Dirty Books" ;)

my advice would be to ignore it ,it aint worth the bother but i would start keeping a diary of times and dates when things do happen just incase anything gets out of hand and this bit is for the so called orgers that think they OWN caithness.org this person was only asking for some advice there is no need to make a fool out of this thread god some people really get on my nerves by the way well done for not punching that person on the nose

Ah, you two are related then?:lol:
Well said Celtic lass, I saw it as someone needing a bit of a vent and maybe a bit of advice yet others just saw it as a chance to belittle someone who is obviously finding it a rather stressful situation.
Well done for the caring attitude people.
It might be an idea to consider the whole affair from a fresh perspective.. Could it be that the person was not giving you dirty looks and it was your own paranoia that made you think it was? That being the case perhaps the person you thought was giving you the dirty looks was actually thinking it was you who was giving them the dirty looks and especially after you spoke to them Maybe they were freaked and didnt know how to handle the situation. Just a thought.
Its not unknown for these kinds of experiences to happen to most people. I wonder if theres anyone reading this hasnt thought at some time or another that someone was giving them dirty looks. Its obviously caused you a bit of concern and the reaction of the org has not been to your advantage but best of luck with your dilemma.
Just smile and wave next time you see them.
That will confuse them:lol:
You may even get a smile back!

thanks unicorn it just gets my back up when people try to belittle others BULLIES spring to mind they wonder then why a lot of people dont turn up for there org nights if there replies are anything to go by
Perhaps as Dadie says it would be a good idea to smile and give them a cheerful wave. There are a few strange people about so one can never tell in this day and age what is going on and why should they single you out, maybe they do it to everyone. Take care.
How is it bulling when people are simply pointing out the truth. There are no full stops or commas in the post making it very hard to read.
Not everyone can type and perhaps not too familiar with a keyboard. As for punctuation it is surely not a disaster if someone is not a grammer scholar?One can get the gist of most things on the Org so it is not funny to have your post scoffed at due to typing errors.
I think it is just purely rude. Would you dream of saying to someone you were talking to "you have a massive spot" I equate the two things as very similar forms of rudeness.

I have told many times that I have an aggressive expression and some found me intimidating until they got to know me.:mad: I also noticed that very few people acknowledged me when I look at them when I drive by.:(
I gave this some thought and now try and make a conscious effort to smile or even wave to people when out and about and it certainly gives me a different feed back.:Razz
It’s worth a try to see how a different approach can bring a totally different response. As for spelling, I am the worlds worse and being dyslexic don’t help, but unless it’s a one liner that I can spell with confidence I use word then cut and paste

What constitutes a "Dirty Look"? And how does one return it? [disgust]

Nope, still none the wiser, try adding some simple punctuation and i'll have another go at deciphering it :p ;)

Ignore it i'm behind you. they obviously have so little in their lives to entertain themselves that they are resorted to giviing people dirty looks and then not being able to say why. they're being pathetic and cowardy.
Hold your head up high and smile. it will annoy them;)
Either way I would ignore it, life is too short to be stressed over something like this.
Too true starry. Theres much more important things to be worrying a bout than silly people who have nothing better to do with themselves but to give people dirty looks.

Thank you for the support Lingland. People who ask for help or advice do not need to be put down and ridiculed. It is an achievment for some of us to be able to read and write. Grammer is not for everyone we all do our best im sure
Certainly good grammar is not for everyone but is poor grammar something to be proud of? We've all gone to school and learned to read, write and count, and we were also taught punctuation, though some have failed to grasp the concept of it, however it only takes a minute to read through what you intend posting and think perhaps you should add a few commas etc.

If someone wants advice they should at least try to make their post readable, this has nothing to do with the Punctuation Police jumping in, i can't remember the complete and proper use of punctuation, just the basics, which is enough to make a post readable, and is it so difficult for people to learn the difference between "There Their and They're"?

its really quiet annoying and it makes it difficult to reed a post if people dont stop for a breathe when making there post and use some basic punctuation its not that difficult you learn it in primary school it makes it a lot easier to follow what their saying personally i give up reading after the second line if it all just blends together it sometimes makes me dizzy and i have to go for a lie down you get what im trying to say sorry for rambling on so much if i could stop for a breathe and gather my thoughts this would all be so much easier to understand i think i need to have that lie down now i think i have made my point are you dizzy as well and if im not sure of the spelling of a word i just google it its the easiest thing to do also there is the preview post function i always use that so if someone wants to post to the orgres and ask there advise they should try to make the post easy to reed dont you agree maybe you dont thats ok your entitled to you're opinion we all make mistakes from time to time but some posts are a shambles and hard to follow from start to finish :p

I'm behind those who suggest having a conversation with the dirty looker. A conversation that doesn't start with, "Why are you giving me and the wife dirty looks?".
As for the punctuation or lack thereof, I'm behind those who suggest that a sprinkling of punctuation is greatly appreciated even if it's in the wrong place. If someone can find their way to the org and post a message, I feel sure they can find the comma and full stop keys on their keyboard.
Are you advocating the slaughtering of poultry to settle a personal problem?, or simply implying that a pre-slughtered shop bought chicken should be nailed to their door? :lol:

i cant get over the amount of people that pick on grammar its bloody ridiculous and to be honest no different than picking on the fat kid or the poor kid it's bullying plain and simple
Maybe the other guy is just bemused at how you can get through life without punctuation?
Something doesn't add up, you say you have a wife, yet this post is constructed no better than your average ten year old is capable of, i'm no brain of Britain or master of good grammar....but geez oh!
get a grip gizmo great personality you got just like the majority of narrow minded fools on here you pick on the spelling and punctuation
Get a new keyboard -
One with a "." and a "," that works.
What happened to the old keyboard - did you spill your Gerber Creamed Rice over it ??
and another
my advice would be to ignore it ,it aint worth the bother but i would start keeping a diary of times and dates when things do happen just incase anything gets out of hand and this bit is for the so called orgers that think they OWN caithness.org this person was only asking for some advice there is no need to make a fool out of this thread god some people really get on my nerves, by the way well done for not punching that person on the nose
yes some people here are so up themselves and on their high horse
Ah, you two are related then?:lol:
you must be related to gizmo then
How is it bulling when people are simply pointing out the truth. There are no full stops or commas in the post making it very hard to read.
i find that hard to believe as a university showed the human brain could read whole pages of writing as long as the first and the last letter of each word were in the same place the brain would read it, so i find it hard to believe that all you people cant read a post coz it hasnt got perfect punctuation and spelling
and it is the same as bullying, if you were calling a fat girl "fatty fatty fatty" do you think the teacher would allow it because you were simply telling the truth NO you were hurting that persons feeling willingly so it was bullying, this person may struggle with spelling you dont know that and you were poking fun THE SAME AS BULLYING
Not everyone can type and perhaps not too familiar with a keyboard. As for punctuation it is surely not a disaster if someone is not a grammer scholar?One can get the gist of most things on the Org so it is not funny to have your post scoffed at due to typing errors.
agreed
That sentence makes as little sense as the original post

If someone wants advice they should at least try to make their post readable, this has nothing to do with the Punctuation Police jumping in, i can't remember the complete and proper use of punctuation, just the basics, which is enough to make a post readable, and is it so difficult for people to learn the difference between "There Their and They're"?

its really quiet annoying and it makes it difficult to reed a post if people dont stop for a breathe when making there post and use some basic punctuation its not that difficult you learn it in primary school it makes it a lot easier to follow what their saying personally i give up reading after the second line if it all just blends together it sometimes makes me dizzy and i have to go for a lie down you get what im trying to say sorry for rambling on so much if i could stop for a breathe and gather my thoughts this would all be so much easier to understand i think i need to have that lie down now i think i have made my point are you dizzy as well and if im not sure of the spelling of a word i just google it its the easiest thing to do also there is the preview post function i always use that so if someone wants to post to the orgres and ask there advise they should try to make the post easy to reed dont you agree maybe you dont thats ok your entitled to you're opinion we all make mistakes from time to time but some posts are a shambles and hard to follow from start to finish :p
well you got a very poor imagination if you cant read a post without good spelling and punctuation and work it out
and as for getting dizzy and lying down maybe your brain cant handle 2 things at once like reading and thinking that is why you find it so hard read other peoples posts whom you deem inferior to you as they dont spell so good, away and play with yourself you idiot
I'm behind those who suggest having a conversation with the dirty looker. A conversation that doesn't start with, "Why are you giving me and the wife dirty looks?".
As for the punctuation or lack thereof, I'm behind those who suggest that a sprinkling of punctuation is greatly appreciated even if it's in the wrong place. If someone can find their way to the org and post a message, I feel sure they can find the comma and full stop keys on their keyboard.
i fail to see where you need good grammar and punctuation to click on a website and post a post?
some people dont use it online and some people just dont know how to use it, what right does that give anyone on here to pick and poke fun at a thread i think its shameful that a bunch of adults in here do more tale telling and bullying than many kids do its a disgrace to be honest and a real shame that caithness is inhabited by these people it would be such a nicer place without them

Agreed and I am guilty. I am heeding by your critique and you have inspired me get some further tuition on proper English. I've gone on to Amazon and bought just a few books on punctuation and spelling, nothing too heavy mind.
In the mean time, I'm using Word 2003 to correct my posts before posting to avoid any embarrassment to myself.
Thanks once again, I'm hoping many more will follow in my footsteps.

Why would i have to go to anger management???
its natural to be angry with people who get a rise out of picking on other people's faults!
It's called caring for others feelings!
some people get so offended by some of my own and other members opinions yet a large number of you feel its ok to troll someone about their spelling and make funny comments and nasty remarks [evil]

No one is getting a rise out of picking on other people's faults, merely pointing out the facts (and my opinion) about a very poorly constructed post, it was barely readable, if you have a problem with the facts then there is not a lot i can do about that, rant all you like...won't bother me in the slightest.

it was barely readable
so all you people who pride yourself in spelling good cant be too bright in my opinion because if you have the intelligence to write good but lack the intelligence to put your own punctuation in a post there is something well wrong and im not just pointing at you gizmo i am meaning in general these so called intelligent people all of a sudden cant decipher a post simply because there wasnt punctuation?
well i aint the best at spelling and definately not the best at punctuation and i read the post no problem what so ever, in fact you could have made the spelling 3 times worse and it would still be readable so where you all seem to think its so hard to read is beyond me
you can point out facts all you want its still rude and horrible to do so
you wouldnt stand on the street and point at a fat woman and call her fat would you, you could get done for verbal abuse or stand and say coming for a run to people in wheel chairs so dont come in the org and slag people off about there spelling.
some of these people you comment to may be really touchy bout their spelling they may have been bullied for years because of it, then they sitting in the house not many friends thought they would come here see what its like then are confronted by inconsiderate people who laugh and poke fun at spelling its sad and shouldnt be accepted, i cant swear but you lot can bully people over spelling and make fun of them where's the fairness in that?

Can anyone work out what this instruction, on a Galaxians arcade machine in the Norseman circa 1981, actually means:-
"Be shoot at the alien to control the space rocket!!"

My point is if one is savvy enough to find all the letters on the keyboard to type a message, then surely a wee tap on the full stop key every now and then wouldn’t be too difficult. Yes, the message can be read without punctuation but isn’t a punctuation-free poster being a little arrogant, expecting readers to figure it out? I said nothing about grammar or spelling, just punctuation. I am far from perfect in any of the three but I do try to be considerate of those who may read something I have written.
some people dont use it online -- Why not?
and some people just dont know how to use it -- Oh c'mon, how hard is it to put a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and a full stop at the end?
what right does that give anyone on here to pick and poke fun at a thread -- It is neither poking fun nor bullying, it is merely heightening awareness that it is harder to read a message that is not punctuated.
i think its shameful that a bunch of adults in here do more tale telling and bullying than many kids do its a disgrace to be honest and a real shame that caithness is inhabited by these people it would be such a nicer place without them
I think it is shameful that a bunch of adults in here admit that they are well educated but are too lazy to use the skills acquired in primary school to type a message. Some people read these message boards when they are contemplating a move to the County, if every post on here was punctuation-free, what kind of impression would that convey about the people and schools in Caithness?
Well its time I say tatty bye to this forum once and for all. It is quite sad to say the least that the majority on here according to the polls, are mainly local live in born and brought up Caithnessians.I for one do not believe it, it must have been one more fix. Yes, I know one or two, yes alice you are good, likes your points of view .
Cheers and au revoir,as the other man would say.Hope I have remembered commas and full stops.Woops a daisy and I am not drunk as was suggested by one Orger some time ago...... Strangely enough I know who he is also the one that got me an whatever you call it from the whoever. What fun some folk have.
Oops have gone off topic again but it is a shame the way this has gone for the poor whoever posting about what to do regarding the dirty looks
The Norsemans got a Galaxians??? wonder if they want to sell it...
I doubt if it is still there, I was referring to 1981(ish)
I have just read through these threads and can't believe what I have read. It starts with someone asking a question and goes on to other people being extremely rude to each other.I dont know how the mo ds haven't locked this. I thought caithness org. was supposed to be a happy place, this is getting really bad.

totally agree with you fran,have stopping posting for some time,as think there is more to life, than nasty remarks on here,as in the real world would never treat people like on here,
I didn't read the original thread because of no punctuation. It made my head spin after two lines. From others' replies I guess that someone was giving dirty looks. Maybe they were, maybe you imagined it. Either way give a big smile and it will either make their day or make them fume. Either way you are happy :lol:
