The problem with people like Denny, just like the Chico documentary presented by Louis Theroux last night, is that they are totally unbending in their views. They will argue black is white in order to not give an inch on what are effectively entrenched, unyielding attitudes. Unfortunately when their arguments are unsustainable by logic, they then keep digging. During this process they then make themselves look stupid by trying to defend a point of view that they have not clearly thought through (Sandydown are you listening?)
A parallel can be drawn with the idiots on last nights chico show. These people, when questioned about the very (misguided) assumptions that their views are based, resort to nonsensensical arguments/statements and run away.
It is a shame really because some of what Denny has to offer is really quite sensible. The problem is that she rself righteously and pompously proclaimed that everything she had to say was also beyond question.
The lesson is that if you are going to come onto this board to make a point then you better be prepared to defend it or deal with the frivolous responses that you are likely to get.
Over the past few weeks I've noticed too much of a decline in the standard of posts on this forum, plus I've openly been abused by some contractors, which I don't find acceptable.
I have done my best to advise and help those who needed some guidance, and clearly this has been appreciated by some forum contributors, but enough is enough.
Sorry, but this is the last straw. I don't deserve some of the insulting comments I have received in the past few weeks and I just find this site is going rapidly downhill to the point where I feel I have no place on it anymore.
Good luck to those who did appreciate my posts, but I won't be returning. If you want to keep up with my posts, I will now only be posting on Shout 99.
Denny reminds me of an ex-girlfriend I once boffed. When I met her I thought she was 'Miss Right' until I realised her first name was 'Always'
Denny I will be really sad to see you go - I like nearly everyone on here, even those I dont agree with.
yes some of the arguments get out of hand, but it often helps if you just blame Bagpuss for everything - you can direct your hate in one direction that way and you dont feel overwhelmed.
Take care, and please come back (even if it's under a different name)
I see SA, blaming me for other peoples actions again? It's like the McCarthy witch-hunts when you are around, never let the facts get in the way and all that.
I've never even replied to one of Denny's posts, that's because most of the time he posts in the proper contracting sections. IMHO He's one of the more helpful posters.
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
