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......."

My kingdom for a mute button....

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

(we'll need a new Bunbury thread soon...)

Oh yes 😂

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).

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

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....

DaisiesandButtercups · 13/02/2021 15:30

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.

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:

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.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/02/2021 16:17

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

Oh yes!

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

Amazing Aldi thread. In FWR, but full of people unfamiliar with the GC position.

Coincidence? Or have I been clumsy?
