Coincidence? Or have I been clumsy?

@picklemewalnuts

Amazing Aldi thread. In FWR, but full of people unfamiliar with the GC position.
You jinxed it 🤣 the bat signal went up!

[quote nauticant]I can't help but read the Guerilla postcards thread and then reflect on how Stonewall was unable to persuade Judge Stout of its arguments:

I just read the postcards thread. That is absolutely disgusting, RMW should be banned.

I imagine a sort of foghorn parping “AWOOGA AWOOGA DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLECT AWOOGA” on some threads

Oh yes!

ArabellaScott · 13/02/2021 15:50

missed the concentration camp comment, what the fuck was that about?!

Meanwhile someone seems to have got their tits out. As recommended in Chapter 5 of Bunbury's 'dealing with aggressive exhibitionism', I'm off to clean the tiles in the bathroom.

I wonder about the goals of some posters.

To get an emotional reaction from other posters?

To stop good faith discussion of the topic?

To make people so bored of the thread that they give up reading it?

To dominate the discussion and keep it irrelevant or obscure, in other words derailing?

To provoke for deletion, strikes, screenshots or entire thread deletion?

To get others to reply or address something they have said just because of hunger for attention?

Whatever the goal I don’t particularly want to support them in reaching it.

SophocIestheFox · 13/02/2021 15:25

I was quite hoping for one of the “more in sorrow than anger” cameos, as I find them very interesting (probably for all the wrong reasons) but suspect you’re right & they cannot comment....

persistentwoman · 13/02/2021 15:21

I'd forgotten about that thread DeaconBoo. And of course how revealing it was in a way that a certain poster did not intend....Wink

DeaconBoo · 13/02/2021 15:20

@SophocIestheFox

I’m still cheesed off that the “women are like concentration camp guards” post was deleted!

It’s a very interesting contrast, Deacon. Motes in eyes abound.

Well yes and the (assumed) poster is currently involved in one of the subjects of the other threads (although I'm assuming wouldn't be able to post on it).

My kingdom for a mute button....
Yes quite.

Oh yes 😂

DeaconBoo · 13/02/2021 14:40

Anyone remember this thread? Interesting (to see which post was deleted) in light of the Gina Carano cancellation?

DialSquare · 13/02/2021 14:34

I'm being reminded of the priest in an episode of Father Ted who talked at anyone and anything. "What's your favourite humming noise......."

littlbrowndog · 13/02/2021 14:23

I know sopochles

I don’t engage with them

@SophocIestheFox

Ah yes, chapter 12, Whataboutery. That’s the one I needed.

How apt. Today is a good day to keep Madame Bunbury's wise words at the top of this board as the flailing and desperation is off the scale.

As a menopausal women currently suffering with insomnia, I find a particular poster's ramblings helpful bedtime reading.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 13/02/2021 12:44

@OwBist

Ooo, I've been following the live court case on here today, and am very pleased to see that all whataboutery from potential community disruptors has been refuted in the first instance and roundly ignored subsequently. Also very grateful for the explanations by those in the know. Smile
I wish I could ever find the threads people refer to here; not being able to say what we mean because of ill-intentioned people as a great bore.
WarOnWomen · 13/02/2021 12:24

Eek Michelle. I hadn't even thought of that.

That AB thread was a masterclass in shutting down and ignoring disrupters. I ignore one of the disrupters after a thread I started was completely derailed.

HermitsLife · 13/02/2021 10:58

I do wonder at the motivation, but then I realise I'm probably expending way too much precious energy when the answer is depressingly simple additionally Michelle is probably not far off the mark Envy
