Oh the horror, someone called you a name, boo hoo

Did they? Great! Shame I missed it though.

Will you moan about it for me? You're good at that.

Looks like Liam Nesson was a racist * at least for a while.

It's this the start of something?

I bet that’s started plenty of frothing on social media.

When’s the public execution?

Was it any black man he wanted to kill or the rapist, who was in fact black? Why not report he wanted to kill the rapist or the man who raped his friend.

This smells....

To be honest, what he said was pretty bad lol. Just walked around hoping some random black ******* (as he put it), would come out of a pub and start on him, so he could kill him.

Sounds more unhinged than his movie characters!

a woman he knew well – he did not specify if she was a friend or a family member

Friend, sister, mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother.

Ok that complete enough for you.

There are plenty of poor quality threads on here, you are aware it is GD not SC. The same argument applies, it seems a bit futile to actively enter and post in thread complaining about the thread when others are happily responding to it and you're able to read other threads. There are plenty of threads sharing news stories of varying "quality" etc.. I just don't understand the mentality of moaning about a "poor quality" thread when no one forced you to read it in the first place and you can just read other threads.

I think that I can decide when it is futile, just like I can decide that it is, in my opinion, ****.

As you can continue to question the futility of people thinking that **** threads are ****, and saying so in them.

What do you get out of it? I mean you dislike the thread yet you participate in it. It just seems bizarre to me.

Why do you go in plenty of threads and argue over the smallest pedantic points?

Cause he offended innit, he'll say he isn't, but he do.

Then tomorrow he'll post 3 new threads about alt-right talking points as if nothing happened and we run the same argument over again.

I don't go into them to do that, but sometimes people respond to me by misrepresenting my position etc.. not sure what it has to do with this thread though?

As one of the resident socialists you seem to think everything from centre left viewpoints onwards is "alt right".

What do you believe I'm offended about here?

I think the only offence here is coming from people moaning about the thread itself instead of just reading some other threads.

I've told you time and again that i am not a socialist, jesus. He's posting (and when i mean post, i mean threads) utter ***** on this forum bringing the quality lower than it's ever been, i can only imagine what it's doing to the image of the site in general.

It's not a question of "hurr durr just dont reply", this isn't mumsnet, its supposed to be filled with semi-intelligent people.

/Fyi it's also "progressive" talking points (just what side you take on the story differs, the offence is clearly the same), but i highly doubt OP is on that side of the horseshoe.

You're a big part of that problem.

I don't post 3 threads plus a day about the patriarchy, gamersgate or whatever **** they're up to lately do I?

(hint: i'm not a librul-lefty-softy who think white men are the biggest problem in the world, in fact i was entirely on this (being annoyed at "progressiveness") side of the bandwagon until it got overtaken by the worst the world has to offer)

I will not share a platform with ultra-nationalist ***** who have no idea what they actually want, hiding it behind virtues that they actually don't care about.

Yadda · 5 Feb 2019 at 00:09

I reckon a lot of people on both sides hold a more extreme version of the belief they started out with at the beginning of their conflict. I'm sure many (though not all, granted) would love to return to a time when differences weren't so great and discourse was at least rational.

is worried about the quality of the forums
calls people who he supposedly agrees with "alt right" or "ultra-nationalist *****"

You're not making much sense, share a platform with? Even if people who shared some view you agreed with actually were racists as you seem to insist it doesn't make the view itself wrong.

I mean for example, Hitler is perhaps one of the worst racists ever to have existed - he was a vegetarian - does that mean the being a vegetarian is now wrong because you'd be "sharing a platform with" Hitler?
