So I guess this is what they had up their sleeve:

Letters pages are an insidious way of sneaking utter lies into a paper without any fact checking needed. How many letters must they have received since yesterday evening???? And according to that sample, all of them are on one side of the debate.

You know what? I find this so traumatic and actually violent I might just go and do myself an injury. Why was there no trigger alert on this article?!?!?!

But seriously, it is pretty depressing. And depressingly predictable.

Omg, what will Harrop do when he discovers they are printing letters but haven't asked him to bestow his wisdom?? He is going to have the narcissistic meltdown to end all meltdowns.

Poor lamb.

Having a letter published from someone from Goldsmiths Uni is priceless.

That's the second time the Guardian has breached media standards on talking about suicide just within the last week.

NowtSalamander · 18/10/2018 20:39

For the love of Mary, will someone stop those fuckwits talking about kids killing themselves?!

Surely SURELY this has got to stop.

'please research meeeeeeeeeeeeee'

Ah, current Professor of Wokeology from St Wokeford's University College, Deptford...

Researchers ought to work with those who are discriminated against, show empathy, and put others before themselves

Says the man who hasn't even got enough empathy or awareness to notice that women are discriminates against. I'm having a little chuckle to myself and picturing his colleagues face-palming. Bless.

They could all have just written "Nobody matters but us!" for the sake of brevity.

RedToothBrush · 18/10/2018 20:29

Guardian having an identity crisis?

Yes.

Its having a massive one.

It might not even realise this.

Thats the hilarous bit.

Pamspeople · 18/10/2018 20:29

The one from the researcher is hilarious. Researchers have a duty to be empathic to only one group of people, it seems. I don't think that's actually what research is. Speaking as a, erm, well, researcher.

Is there anyone on this board who didn't see it coming?

They really are a shower of hypocritical shites, aren’t they!

Deliriumoftheendless · 18/10/2018 20:18

Suicide risk mentioned again. Again.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 18/10/2018 20:17

That's predictable and fairly trivial, I wouldn't worry.

Socrates said something like: "When they have lost the debate they resort to slander". The TRAs have no valid arguments, so they are resorting to slander, lies and aggression.
