What's the deal with the *******?

Start a new thread "Why is Gentile so unpopular?" and see where it gets you?

Oh. Hmm. Well she didn't upset me anyway.

[psychocandy]

Are you including Gentile in that?

Bully.

Not necessarily. I just think it applies to a lot of people on this forum who have got no life and nothing better to do than abuse people on an internet forum.

I didn't see what she did to upset people either. What's happened?

It seems as if she said that there were no posh areas in London and declined to retract it or apologise, or something like that anyway. Obviously that was sufficient to unleash sexual bullying from some of the less adequate posters.

Not quite true Mr bee.


She decided to have a go at me, totally unprovoked by me, I might add. I've never had any interaction with her. Whatever spat she is having with Spod is nothing to do with me. Whatever spat anyone is having with him is nothing to do with me.

She then went on to complain about CUK - although somehow missed the fact that she was complaining about the very way she decided to have a go at me.

"Actually, I think the comments that've been made over an extended period of time on here by a small number of people have been vicious, and unwarranted, regardless of their applicability. And I'm sure the people who voiced them believed them at the time.

Whether a given slur is true or not is irrelevant. It's a bit like calling someone a "poof", "dyke" or a racial slur based solely on an uninformed perception of them. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the target of the comment is or isn't. What matters is that the person making the comment holds those sentiments. A bigot's behaviour doesn't become more or less acceptable by virtue of whether their target is fit for them or not."

BTW Mods/Admin - I know the original thread is closed, so sorry if this opens up a can of worms.

I think I tend to miss these incidents because I can't be bothered reading the personal fight threads.

Which begs the question; why are you in General?

To be fair she did apologise AND admit she was in the wrong, and I can't remember the last time I saw an unconditional apology on CUK.

Pictures of fit birds.

I don't know why I'm in CUK General. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger; now I'm a tester pissing around in CUK General and I really don't know what I did to deserve this.
