Confronting racism. BBC report on a very brave lady

[RogueHanger]

Yes, it was a big interruption, never mind.

Most members on here seem quite friendly, you cast a bit of a nasty vibe about the place... it's a shame, good manners don't cost anything.

So it is all my fault that GD forum has so much abuse flying around.

Where were you when the racial abuse was being used?

Or is your animosity reserved for me?
If so, why?

Everyone else I've conversed with has been quite friendly, though granted it's not many members, so maybe there's a whole lot of rude posters I've yet to encounter.

What racial abuse are you referring to?

I've no animosity towards you, we did clash on an earlier thread and I did resort to rudeness, which is something I'm not proud of, but it was in response to some rather rude comments made by yourself; I did offer an olive branch after the aforementioned clash but sadly you didn't respond.

And I offered you an olive branch a couple of posts ago, which you refused to take and now we're into an endless round of insults.
Well done.
Now shall we leave it there, or would you prefer to continue this silly downward spiral?

Another thinly veiled threat...

Not thinly veiled at all. I'm willing to go into the downward spiral if gn wishes.
If he doesn't he can agree that we'll agree to differ.
Please explain how you interpret that as a thinly veiled threat?

And, why, pray tell, are you jumping in to gn defence?
Is it just your animosity towards me also?
Or do you think that gn cannot defend himself sufficiently?
Or do you want to pursue this discussion into a downward spiral?
If so, why?

It really does appear, BT, that you want to persistently oppose me on any subject and whenever you find the opportunity.

Respond to the post, not the poster was your mantra.
Have you discarded that now?

To be honest I'm not sure which post contains your 'olive branch'... never mind, I'm sure you're an interesting guy it's a shame you can't be a bit friendlier, but then again there's always someone on every forum who likes to be horrible to noobies.

You know that biscuit you said I took? Do you work for McVities?

What planet are you on that you cannot see how you come across. Only you wouldn't see something like that as a 'bring it on if you think you're hard enough'.

Add: Look back. It didn't even need to be said! (In for the kill again).

Add more: I don't know why, but I've never argued so much and for so long with one person on any forum over one subject I'm assuming it's not me, (I hope), so searching for a reason...

Yes, my sentiment exactly Groov. (My dear ole mum used to say the same).

That's why I leave threads, you get to a point where you dread the reply. Just bear in mind he is only after 'the kill'. So no matter what you say he will try to discredit you. It's quite insidious..

It's a shame really, in my experience even when RH isn't being rude he has a tendency to patronise which is always going to get peoples backs up, you can kind of feel him looking down his nose at people and he's absolutely certain that he's more intelligent than the majority of posters; he patronised me during my very first posts yet he knows nothing at all about me, as I said, it's a shame and not very welcoming... Maybe he doesn't realise he's doing it?

 

[Big Tone]

Thanks GN. That's helped me a lot because I think that's part of why we clash. He's supercilious. You often have to be to win in business...

Who said anything about "success in business...."? I have already proven them to be a liar.

 

[Big Tone]

I got something somewhere over the six million posts that he's a peripatetic big wig of sorts. Dunno. He's clever, so I imagine he's successful in his chosen thing. I'm a bit thick, not a natural scholar, but I work hard

Quite possibly this

Well done whiteshite. That's three cases of school meals sorted. How about the rest of your dopey claim

An Ad hominem attack, with a racist motivation.

Successful? They are clearly deeply unhappy / conflicted - claiming vociferously to abhor the traits that they themselves display.

Don't waste your time.

Anyone can claim to be what they want on a forum. I wouldn't have my money on a successful business man or anyone who went to further education, try a 'diversity officer' for the council who's spent his life on forums due to extreme social inadequacies. Does anyone actually think this is the only forum he logs onto daily? Add up those hours and see the full picture of the man.

Not thinly veiled at all. I'm willing to go into the downward spiral if gn wishes.

Please define your limit of thinness with regard to veiled threats.

If he doesn't he can agree that we'll agree to differ.

However, he may disagree that you have agreed because of your attitude.

Please explain how you interpret that as a thinly veiled threat?

Because, presumably, it had not exceeded his limit of thinness.
Please explain why you think it has.

And, why, pray tell, are you jumping in to gn defence?

Please define your view of jumping and when this differs from merely agreeing.

Is it just your animosity towards me also?

Do you feel that some posters have animosity toward you?
If so, discuss and, if possible, state why this may be so.

Or do you think that gn cannot defend himself sufficiently?

That agreement with someone is stated in no way implies that.
Please explain why you think it does.

Or do you want to pursue this discussion into a downward spiral?

Please define a downward spiral with regard to a discussion and state how it differs from a straight plunge.

It really does appear, BT, that you want to persistently oppose me on any subject and whenever you find the opportunity.

Please explain why it does not occur to you that when others disagree it may be you who is wrong.

Respond to the post, not the poster was your mantra.

Please explain how such a statement can be a mantra.

Have you discarded that now?

What do you think? Please explain your reasons.
