I am curious, would you talk to friends the same way you talk to members on here?

Don't interpret this the wrong way but I'm struggling to understand exactly what you're saying.

Wow.... I think this thread is soon to be shut down so I better get my two penneth in. Over the years I've had much worse banter but you either give as good as you get or move on. If you don't like this kind of talk then sitework is probably not for you and maybe a small family plumbing firm would be more suited. I must admit I like the mickey taking, it passes the day and you can have a good laugh. I'd be on anti depressants if I took everything my workmates said to me seriously. I haven't read anything that I would call bullying. firm advice, mickey taking, winding up. There's a lot worse going off in this world. I like Suppers confidence and he make me laugh, ease up people.

It's all good banter and fun. We are all comedians on here. We all like a laugh.
Supper plumb took a bashing over the ptfe but took it on the chin.
I personally thought it was a wind up. Supper plumb isn't being bullied. And he's big enough to give what he gets.
And most of all he will learn a load from this forum like we all have and better himself in the ways he wants to.
Hurrraaayyy!!!!

Fair play, my point is that supper plumb needs to chill out, and I gave him some advice, the advice wasn't accepted by most but it is true, the mods and admin cant please everyone, it is hard to judge whether people are joking sometimes and things can be taken the wrong way. if you give grief and don't listen then expect grief (especially with that much ptfe on a iso valve). and it is most peoples opinion that if you cant take the jokes then don't be on here. personally I am a quiet person and only joke with close friends and family (not complete strangers or people I have never met) I am not on here enough (way too much to do without sitting on my computer all day every day) to get all the jokes and keep up to date with everyone's little jokes. I come on here to help and advise people (like I tried to do here) and that is it. If I want banter, I pick up the phone or go out to real people in the real world. this is not sniping, bullying or getting at anybody just telling the facts.

I gave supper plumb my advice and it was taken out of context, read all my posts and you will hopefully see where I am coming from

No, because in real life I don't get any infractions, so I can be as honest as I like.
And the fact that they're my friends also means they know my banter pattern and accept it/join in. I'm am FAR more abusive to them than I've ever been on here.

Ahh quite honestly for the first few years of plumbing supper you have to have an empty head and an open mind.
my boss told me a ton of stuff was best practice and a few years down the line i now know he was being a tit.
as such you cant swear 100% that somthing is right till youve been doing it for a while. As we talked about plastics vs copper
you couldent see the advantages of copper because you havent used it enough!
as i said with more experiance you will be able to better understand the pros and cons of each thing.
try not to defend your ways to the death 😛
because in three years you will most likely think "oh no i did that back then......thats gonna haunt me!"
Three years ago i ran an oil line at my house just copper in a trench.
this summer im digging that up, putting a small duct in, with 28mm speed fit through it with the oil line in that.
why?
because three years experiance has taught me how much of a tit i was for not doing it like that in the first place!

I do like to see the COGS whirring in other peoples heads , often some stuff goes in parrot fashon ,then later you start to sit an think logically , at times it can cause a right conflict in your head .
Logical meets Petty Regulations
It is nice to admit , we do lead our selves up the garden path , just keep learning!
