The role of the Culture War

[Glyn_Wigley]

Better than the verbal diarhheoa you never seem to be able to find a cure for.

BTW. Disciples are the people who agree with each other, not those who disagree with each other. Looks like you've been calling the wrong people disciples for these past few years.

Cue yet another personal insult because you've lost again. You're so predictable.

Sorry I can't help you regarding your verbal diarrhoea, you need a specialist for that.

By the way, disciples don't always agree with each other, they sometimes disagree with each other, but they are still disciples, and follow one god only.

Next! 

Good job I'm an atheist then. Using your own logic I can't possibly be one.

PS I'm confused. You seem to think I'm constipated AND have diarrheoa. It doesn't do anything for your egomaniacal claim to be always right.

[Bentley Bullet]

I'm not surprised you don't understand Mr Wiggerly, it's not unusual for things to go over your head.

Oh, and I only claim to be always right when I'm going over the head of the likes of you.

Hound.

You'll note that I withdrew that comment. It was Selby's post that was ignorant and idiotic (anyone with half a brain would accept that) but I should have directed my criticism to his post, not to him. I note that he has not withdrawn his racist comments.

[MachoMadness]

I have said often enough that I don’t read every thread and certainly don’t read every post.
Is that unusual?
Do you read every post on here?
I can’t speak for anyone else about whether they saw it.
BST told me that the alleged racist post was taken down (I think it was the next day) so maybe lots of people didn’t see it.
Did you complain about it at the time it was posted.
What do I think of people calling others rag heads?
I don’t think it is right to do so.

I also don’t think it is right for people to call other posters an ignorant idiot but I didn’t see you pull BST for doing that recently.

Are you drawing equivalence between a racist slur and the person who used the slur being called an ignorant idiot? Really? You must have lived a very sheltered life if you believe that, but then you don't really believe that, do you? You'll just say anything to try and antagonise someone. You clutching your pearls over that very mild insult is quite funny when the leading questions, petty sniping, deliberately antagonising posters and general childish behaviour of your gang is the main reason why the off topic section is basically unusable these days. There is a reason most of this section is just the same 5/6 posters going on at each other.

Yes, I know you withdrew your comment, but you did make it in the first place and had I not mentioned it to you, you probably wouldn’t have retracted it.
Filo (mentioned again mate) is quick to say people attack the poster and not the post but didn’t bother to object when you did so.
As for what selby says or does, I’m not his keeper.

Wow, some of that is a bit rich coming from you.
The king of petty sniping isn’t even resident in the UK.
However, just to be clear, I am not drawing equivalence between the two posts you have mentioned.
You asked me a question and I gave you an answer.
I then asked if you complained about it but because you have dodged answering I assume you didn’t.
You must think it is ok to call someone an ignorant idiot too.
Anyway, you are quite right, sometimes this forum is a crap place to be and the fault lies with quite a few posters so be a good lad and let’s stop this spat now.

Ah, so you are backing up BST tonight.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Hound.
I make mistakes. Hand up on that. Especially when a racist is unapologetically guffawing at winding folk up.

Regarding withdrawing posts, I withdrew one I fired off at you today, because in reflection I thought it unhelpful.

I still find it odd that you didn't see Selby's post that night when you were straight in to have a pop on another subject at the very same time, but I'll accept that.

[Bentley Bullet]

I used to be egomaniacal, but I'm not any more. In fact, I'm pretty much perfect these days.

Fair enough BST but I genuinely didn’t see it.
Like you, I sometimes skim read through stuff and you yourself have sometimes said you must have missed something.
Can I ask, without any malice, do you read every post on every thread?
No one else need chip in here thank you.

[drfchound]

BST, by the way, I haven’t seen where you withdrew something you said to me today.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Hound. I deleted the post.

[drfchound]

Hound. I deleted the post.

Thank goodness for that.
Can I ask again whether you read every thread and post.

[SydneyRover]

United we stand, divided we fall!

none of his mates saw it either so your not on your own hound

[Bentley Bullet]

Hey Skippy! I see you're not beating about the bush with your aggression tonight. Is kindergarten a new word you've learned in reception?

[SydneyRover]

show which bit isn't true, you all act like children trying to ruin serious debate and you appear to be head coach.

[Bentley Bullet]

Serious debate? I always thought serious debate required answers when questions were raised!

[SydneyRover]

You have proven my case yet again well done bb. But you see I did answer, maybe it wasn't the one that you wanted but as you didn't ask the question it's not really your position to judge it. Now you are insulting Tyke by insinuating he's not capable of defending his own arguments.

[Bentley Bullet]

I'm not referring to Tyke's question, SR. Tyke's more than capable of fighting his own corner. I was referring to the unanswered questions I've asked in the past.

Us right-wingers work alone because we can!

Then I don't know what you've been rambling on about for days and who cares

[Bentley Bullet]

I wasn't referring to Tyke's question because you've answered it, apparently. Whether Tyke agrees with it is up to him. He's more than capable of making his own mind up.

It's perfectly acceptable to call an ignorant idiot an ignorant idiot. It should be encouraged, especially when said idiot is a racist who solely and self-admittedly posts xenophobic garbage on here to wind people up. "Ignorant idiot" is just about the mildest, most understated thing you could call someone in response to that.

You are right that the fault lies with a few other posters who rise to it, including, in this instance, me. Quite often your crew are the ones provoking people who should know better, with the facetious replies and the endless pointless questions that you only ask so you can go "aha! You dodged my question!". I just think it's sad what happened to this section, and what is happening to the forum generally. Like I say, it's no wonder most posters don't post here. There will probably be a few less now.

that doesn't surprise me at all, you're clearly yesterday's man and perfect for the job

[Bentley Bullet]

You're probably right in saying I'm yesterday's man, that's not the problem because it was bound to happen one day. What is the problem though is who is going to be tomorrow's man.

[SydneyRover]

goodnight bb

Good morning Syderney.

It's absolutely impossible to read the off-topic section nowadays because you just know if you give it long enough it descends into the same personal pissing contest.
