... for some people to accuse others of 'bullying' or 'attacking' when they have their views disagreed with?

I've noticed a few threads on here in the last couple of days where anyone putting across a contrary view to the OP gets accused of being mean/bullying/personally attacking. I don't like it. Aren't people allowed to disagree anymore?

More to the point, I've noticed that some of the people complaining about 'bullies' are ganging up with each other to 'tell someone off' which comes across as a bit... well... bullying.

God I bet she blue all them guys. Even Papa smurf.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 12:35

This gOt linked to the other day. Most enlightening.

RevoltingPeasant · 05/08/2011 12:36

I wish you would all stop talking about smurfs. I can only see in B&W.

Sad
Ormirian · 05/08/2011 12:38

I hate smurfs.

Stupid, irritating, smug little blue gits.

Go on call me names. I don't care!

ShirleyKnot · 05/08/2011 12:40

That's made me feel angry BOF. ANGRY AND WOLEFY. That's some kind of combination.

I remember when cupcakcakes got called a racialist for saying the Mylene Class looks like a ladyboy.

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 12:44

I don't think that My Leen looks like a ladyboy. She looks like a sheep in a wig but not a ladyboy.
That was mean CupCackCakes.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 12:46

I would love to see the Ladyboy Troupe crack Mothercare though.

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 12:48

crack Mothercare with well-aimed ping pong balls?

ShirleyKnot · 05/08/2011 12:49

She (or was it Getorfmoiland) also said that Kelly Osbourne had a jaw like a plough.

No, that was totally GOML. She should be here in this pack actually.

ZZZenAgain · 05/08/2011 12:57

wouldn't say this was a "sudden tendancy", no. Was always like that IME

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 12:57

YY, Getorf needs a Wolef jacket.

ZZZenAgain · 05/08/2011 12:57

dancy

scottishmummy · 05/08/2011 12:59

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 13:02

How would one call out? On twitter or something?

Maybe we could project the wolef face into the clouds, like wot Batman does.

ShirleyKnot · 05/08/2011 13:04

archieleach · 05/08/2011 13:05

I can't help noticing that the so-called bullies on here are all of the politically correct, "Liberal" persuasion. So, no change there then

scottishmummy · 05/08/2011 13:07

twitter caused a mêlée with folk name-calling,the pals all piled in,big threads about who said what,links of mn posts on twitter,big protestations of im flouncing

it ran for ages

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 13:08

Ah, I miss all that, I Cannot, Willnot Tweet.
I shall stick with the Wolef Signal projected at night.

SarahStratton · 05/08/2011 13:31

How fucking dare you. I'm no sodding PC Liberal.

And what's this Bloggers spat that kicked it all off?

OTheHugeManatee · 05/08/2011 13:42

I just did a twitter search for #wolef and found nothing. What are you all doing prannying around with your badges and logos, if you're not going to make a pointless noise on a vapid social networking site stand up and be counted?

ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin · 05/08/2011 13:44

'I can't help noticing that the so-called bullies on here are all of the politically correct, "Liberal" persuasion. So, no change there then'

Still a bit tender after your session on the feminist boards archie?
That's right, we are all soft and fluffy little liberals here, channelling our inner Kumbayas. Come, sit and chant with us.

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 13:52
SarahStratton · 05/08/2011 13:52

Bloggers spat. Please. Anyone?

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 13:53

"My favourite was being called a Racialist, I think it was for saying Peter Andre was orange."

Do I know you? You smell familiar.

A-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! There. I've put a wolef call-out.
