Dan Wootton getting ripped to shreds on Twitter

Surely I can't be the only one loving the fact that the one and only, big, bad, disgusting bully Dan Wootton is finally getting a taste of his own medicine and getting torn to shreds on Twitter. Mainly due to his hypocritical ways, accusing others of virtue signalling but doing it himself. I would be hiding in embarrassment if I was him. Hopefully wipe that smirk clean off his face.

So AIBU to be loving this?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Get down proportion please.
This man is being made fun of because of a video he made which showed what a hypocrite he is.
Compare and contrast to the vile harassment he directs toward women, two of colour and one who later commited suicide, which were/are printed on the front pages of national newspapers.

You don't have to be nice, just don't be evil.

And it's not just my opinion. It's a principle of every philosophy, religion and moral code. It's the Golden Rule: treat others as you would wish to be treated.

What's 'evil' about taking the piss out of someone who had to be videoed FOUR TIMES till he got it right, laying flowers for the Queen?
When he objected to Harry and Meghan being photographed for paying their Remembrance respects?

Karma

Treat people how you would wish to be treated. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Two wrongs don't make a right. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

It's not wrong to teach children that other people matter. You don't have to give up boundaries or put yourself in danger to behave with dignity.

The entitled and narcissistic mode of social media seems to make people very angry and excited. Addicted to bullying and justifying it with outrage and "he started it." "It's wrong when he does it but right when I do it because he was wrong first." Illogical. Unable to reflect on how you are contributing to making the world a worse place.

Why do you keep quoting twee phrases at me.

I don’t treat people how I want to be treated. I treat the vast majority of people with respect, because that’s the right thing to do….not because I expect something back.

Treating someone well only because you hope you gain something, isn’t decent behaviour.

I treat people in accordance with how they act. DW is a cunt and so I will treat him like one.

I am not trying to get into heaven. I think the concept of ‘be a decent person or you can’t go to heaven’ shocking. If you treat people well only because the threat of eternal hell is dangling over you. You aren’t a good person.

I think people who try to be kind to nasty people are often only validating the persons nastiness.

Attempting to push your religion, moral code and opinions on others is not treating them with respect. Therefore, you don’t want people to respect you? If you only treat people how you wanted to be treated.

People like you are what keep people feeling comfortable with behaviour likes his.

and back to your first point. Me expressing an opinion on MN is not comparable to the way he acts towards people in print and on TV. Which is mainly women. If you want to defend a misogynistic bully and protect them. Have at it. Don’t expect everyone else to.

I am lovely 80 percent of the time, which is more than can be said for DW.

@beastlyslumber have you actually read what this vile man you're defending has actually written?

Have you heard the words he has spoken?

Have you seen his hypocritical virtue signalling?

Are you aware of the lives he has ruined?

No, I am not really. I never have or wanted the main descriptor for me to be ‘lovely’.

I am fair and kind, but not to people who are twats.

and certainly not to people who try and push their religion on to other people or try and push them to their own religion based moral code.

I am glad you realise how disrespectful you are by doing that, which means you must want disrespecting back. So off you pop.

Have the day you deserve 👍
