This is the poster who went to considerable lengths to de-rail a thread in Site stuff started by @PandoraSocks about moderation of disability hate on MN

Seems like it's happening again here

Maybe best to ignore rather than engage with the de-railing posts?

Seems sensible to me.

I haven't seen many squirrels around lately, was it too hot for them?

Our neighbour got rid of their bird table and now the pigeons are gone too.

Rats maybe? I've had a problem for over a year now and it's because of poorly maintained sewerage pipes. I'm looking at you United Utilities.

You'd have thought that she would have wanted to spend some time with her daughter. @ThatbloodyRoblox

She's out on licence and the licence should be spent reflecting on the offence committed. Who the fuck put her licence conditions in place if she's allowed to cosy up to Trump's people and promote herself as a political prisoner?

Point of order. That’s not what was said. What was said was that only racists don’t want Cooper to appeal.

Which is patently false.

Tell me you agree.

‘De-railing’ a disability thread, which devoted a significant number of posts to recipes and the weather, you mean?

Yes?

We have loads of pigeons. They're always having loud fights or loud sex in the tree that backs on to our garden. The cats find it fascinating, perhaps they think it's Love Island.

Agreed. Best ignored.

Do you actually read what you post?

I think 'posting racist shit' should be a new reporting reason on MN.

I simply asked you to refer me to said ‘racist shit’ so I could report it, as I have not seen any. You yourself asserted it should be reported.

I was simply showing my wry amusement at the PP's very frank wording if you read the post before.

Deliberate obtuseness is tedious and not as clever as you think.

DuncinToffee · 23/08/2025 14:08

The Times is doing a live blog on the protests. Someone pointed out that there are more parkrun volunteers than protesters.

The numbers seem very small. 40 in Bristol. 100 in Oxford. Yet the Times is going on about the country being at "breaking point".

The pigeon sex and fighting go hand in hand.

No wonder a squab is ugly.

You could probably fit them all on a small boat.

MyNameIsX · 23/08/2025 13:30

Why would you make such a statement, then? How odd.

All reasonable posters would assert that ‘posting racist shit’, as you so eloquently put it, is unacceptable and should be reported. Why mention it specifically on this thread?

Why mention anything specifically in any thread?

It’s called the art of conversation and debate. Something I find most people in this thread extremely good at.

Do I always agree with them? No! But I like coming here for the reasoned evidence based discussions.

I can't decide if I like the pink haired one best or the red haired one. I had a red haired one as a child and was heartbroken 💔 when I lost it.

I had a pink and blue one.

Do I win?!

Funny you mention that (I am in full agreement with you).

Why are some posters advocating ignoring me, then?

How do you reconcile that with your description of them?

I wonder how many people out on bail the police can pick up at these gatherings (I prefer not to call them protests. We can all play with words, you know).
