Which is the lie

Angle,
I’m only too happy to do either – preferably ignore.

But I fear that something else is going on here which means this character isn’t going to stop.

This is what he said a month or so ago.

Personally if I was the site owner I would rid the likes of you from these boards years ago. You don’t contribute anything worthwhile and bully anyone with a different viewpoint from you. The dead wood which has stopped these boards from evolving into the healthy fun place they should and could be.

ive been in her shop and its easy to rob her,cos shes always in here.

Pfft @ easy to rob

and again,

you don’t think this continual stream of personal abuse spoils it for me?

I like discussion of arguments. Pete shows how to do that with humour; draculina shows how to do that seriously, despite deep disagreements.

If someone is following me with a virulent personal abuse in an attempt to drive me out, I’ll defend myself the best way I can, ignore it when I can.

The ‘rest of us’ are not above the abuse either, angel, though it’s not as virulent. That’s one thing some of us have come to associate with jc and learn somehow to live with it.

I am not going to allow myself to be driven out by anyone full stop. When I leave, it’s of my own accord, and it won’t be advertised.

It’s ok for you though to call people “rats” and “prats” amongst other things, just because they pick up on what many would see as a racist remark that was made by you, how dare they disagree with you????

Not everyone likes to do posts that resemble war and peace and just because they read and disagree with something you say it doesn’t mean they want a long winded debate.

Personally I couldn’t give a shyte if you stay or go and I expect the feeling is mutual.

Actually skep…..that’s a good post

thank you, Ms K.

Most people come on to JC for banter, maybe online friends who won’t let them down, serious discussion. Rough banter can be enjoyable if there’s a good nature underlying it.

Most people find that as well. It makes jc worth being in.

But there’s a nasty edge in the room and on the boards too, and we are forced to be nasty ourselves, sometimes, as you know. I actually don’t like that genuine nastiness, and I am only too pleased when it passes.

I remember a character called Mrs Teapot. We were good friends, often supporting one another in some bad times here, but in the end she left. She said she just couldn’t take they hypocrisy and the nasty games here any more.

Reason, War and Peace is actually a good read, but a lot of characters. Try Dostoeveky’s The Brothers Karamazov.

And I would be heartbroken if you left.

You do more sidestepping than a pi ssed up crab.
