Will that now be a subtle signal to my fellow GC sisters? I do hope so, I can't wait to see lots of dinosaurs being sported by women out and about - anyone complaining about a woman with a dinosaur is simply going to look batshit crazy Grin. (Although just to be clear I do talk about this a lot in rl but not so much at work but generally think that the more women who don't yet speak out about this can see how many others are GC the better and I suspect that the "GC Dinosaur" may just be our Bat Signal")

Oooh I do love a Jurassic Park reference...

I see they’ve already been mentioned, but Sugarhill Brighton do have a cracking range of women’s dinosaur-themed clothes right now.

I own a few dresses from them, they’re good quality and bonus that they are an ethical brand.

@toocold54

Your post was deleted @toocold54 because you persisted in making specific allegations about an active case, and you still are, albeit more obliquely.

It wasn’t me that brought up the case!
It was someone else and others were agreeing. Which is why I had an issue with them spreading false information about an active case - it’s funny how no one had an issue with others bringing the case up but as soon as someone said other relevant things about it which didn’t fit your narrative then posts started to get deleted and posters have an issue with the content.

The reasons I am talking about the case obliquely is to explain myself without doing anything ‘wrong’. You are also speaking about it.

These threads are funny. Surely these are meant to be forums that you can discuss and hold your own opinions. It seems some are you either hold the same opinion as everyone else or you don’t get a voice. I haven’t done anything that other posters haven’t.

If you can't see the difference between mentioning a case using information that is in the public domain and you asserting that we know 'X' did this (hence asserting the guilt of 'X' prior to the case) then I can't help you.

The only one here spreading false and prejudicial information is you.

Surely these are meant to be forums that you can discuss and hold your own opinions.

Yes they are, and yes you can. What you cannot do is assert as fact something that is subject to be determined in a Court of Law.

It seems some are you either hold the same opinion as everyone else or you don’t get a voice

Rubbish. As has been explained repeatedly to you, you cannot assert as fact, (not opinion), something that is subject to a hearing in a Court of Law to determine said fact.

I haven’t done anything that other posters haven’t.

Yes you have hence your posts being deleted and not only is he did it too a very childish defence it is wholly inaccurate in your case.

Focus on dinosaurs. Not squirrels. Or sealions. Or any other mammal.

Prehistory is where we are at on this here thread Grin

I getting my ‘facts’ from the same place as the other people stating their ‘facts’.
I’m not sure why I’m the only one you seem to have an issue with when my posts were in reference to someone doing exactly what you are accusing me of doing.

It seems there are some double standards going on here Hmm

RedDogsBeg · 10/10/2021 18:57

For the last time, toocold54 are you completely unable to comprehend that stating 'X' has definitely done something whilst that something is subject to a Court Case to determine the facts and whether or not 'X' is guilty of doing that something is prejudicial, not allowed under the sub judice rules and could well be likely to be determined libellous?

I really don't know what you are struggling with, your own words were clear, explicit and damning.

Apologies, patience wearing thin with people who refuse to see what's blatantly obvious to the rest of us.

Ostriches ? Refusing to see?

But where are you getting your velociraptor lapel pins? That is the question at hand.

Like ostriches in a 'birds closely related to dinosaurs' way?

You learn so much trying to avoid making a fool of yourself on here 😀

As we approach page 7, let's repeat an earlier exchange that was pure gold.

Person 1: I'll be very disappointed if dinosaurs become a symbol of anyone's personal views. I like dinosaurs but don't share your views and would hate for anyone to assume I do just because I have a dinosaur bag.

midgedude: Does it hurt when people take things off you and change the meaning of things ?

Midgedude, if I ever meet you at a dinosaur protest, I'm buying you a drink!

Me too, that comment was gold, pure gold.

NoNotMeNoSiree · 10/10/2021 19:12

Then people on here deny dogwhistles exist 🙄
If you wanted an example of what one is, this thread is a perfect one.
Buying something with dinosaurs on in the hope of '' signalling'' to others about your views,
Then if it turns out they don't hold them it'd be like' 'don't be silly, what are you on about, I just like dinosaurs!' '

Ooh, that reminds me. Saw this earlier and thought of *@PurgatoryOfPotholes*, after the whole dinosaur/frog dna debate yesterday! Please note, I am not calling Purgatory a good girl, because that would be weird!
