when you engage with the trolls

[MitchiestInge]

. . . is it a personal thing (actually engaging emotionally) or are you communicating with a wider, more silent audience or are there other motivations?

I can't work out why more people don't ignore them, but every now and then the exchanges are unintentionally funny or interesting - although mostly it gets very dull very quickly. Wondering what's in it for them too.

No, we are not the same people

STIWD that makes more sense. I don't understand the equivalence you have made between being emotional and making personal attacks. They are not the same thing, and one does not mean the other.

Like I said, I did apologise earlier to anyone I offended. As you never actually read the said post you can only go by what others have written

Stripey I have had SGB robustly disagree with me too. She and I disagree about some pretty fundamental feminist stuff. I respect her though and find her posts interesting whether I agree with them or not.

edd...
when i was younger i was raped/buggered and left for dead[strangulation]
this had a profound affect on my life and this led to more abuse.
years later....my dd was also raped..which led her to having mh problems.
she had a child but couldnt look after this child because of her mh problems.
so i lost my daughter and my grandchild because of this gobshite who raped her.
not a day goes by when i dont think of my grandchild and what this rapist has done to my poor daughters life.[my posting name is apt]
do you still find rape something to joke about edd?

Sorry to hear of your unfortunate past

Unfortunatly I am in no position to defend myself here or requote what I said because my post will be misinterpreted and reported

All i'll say is a made a long quote that was satire about being a member of the patriarchy and can do some things and get away with

brokendreams - shocking story. So sorry
Thinking of you

To me it was at the time, but knowing I upset a lot of people by doing so I wont do it again

You only have my word when I say i'm not a rapist. If I were to have raped i'd fully expect to go to prison

90% chance seems to much tbh, do you have an approx figure of rapists in prison?

Banned is exactly what you want. Less members of the patriarchy to question your beliefs of course

How I interpret my post and how you interpret it is a matter of opinion

Oh please Edd I want you banned because you make sick jokes about rape and post misogynistic shite all over the feminist forum in the manner of a troll.

Nope, no misogynistic posts from me. I simply don't always agree with some posts made here. that doesn't mean I'm misogynistic
