Stoner – unable to answer the question?

dftt

Typical ‘king lefties innit?

wah wah wah, people don’t agree with me, they’re all intolerant bullies, boo hoo hoo, not fair, they’re all evil bad people, make the nasty man go away, he offended me, human rights human rights…

The left told us that if we did what they said, society would be a better place and everything would be hunky dory – they were wrong, the left has failed!

The worms turned! about bloody time too

*waves at Steve*

How you doing fella?

Houns – where did he say it? are you able to answer this or not?

everyone who disagrees is either racist, thick, ignorant, uneducated

I think he is disagreeing with people who are racist or thick etc. That seems entirely reasonable as a concept.

All this couldn’t have come at a better time for Brant.

I’m sure it will all calm down but all we’ve seen is which side of the lines people stand when they feel threatened.

STW is a lovely place but when people feel their family, friends and the things they hold dear are at risk they will bite.

90% of communication is based on facial expressions and body language so you never get the full picture on here

I used to have a fair bit of time for elfin/fred, nowadays i just find him tiresome.

Whilst i may often disagree with TJ i always find his posts to be well thought out, well presented and courteous. I’d go for a ride/drink with TJ any time but i’d avoid fred if he’s anything like his online persona.

Extremes of events bring out extremes of views – no-one has really surprised me on here, maybe a bit of rhetoric spouted but nothing too offensive that I recall.

Unlike some of the shit I have seen some ‘friends’ spout on Facebook.

. I wonder how you coped before you found stw?

😀

Seriously – who cares? This is the internet.

It’s a bike forum. It’s purpose is to enable people to communicate and perhaps to actually (shock horror) meet up in ‘Real Life’ and go for bike rides and stuff. That’s what I’ve used it for, anyway. Met loads of decent folk off here. Hope to meet loads more. I like to look at everyone on here as a potential riding buddy, mate, friend. That’s the whole point of the forum, no?

But thing is, when some folk express views that you really aren’t ever going to get along with, are you going to get along with the person? I’m happy enough to spend time with folk I don’t necessarily agree with about everything (as in, like, ‘Real Life’…), but I woon’t really want to be hanging about with someone who I felt was a properly narrow-minded bigot, as some on here have clearly proven themselves to be.

TJ sorry i’m too busy picking my nose and helping Jamie scrape his eyeballs, far more interesting then having to read any of freds drivel again

Oh, and by the way.

Fred
TJ
Hora
SBZ
Stoner
theprawn(god rest his soul)
etc…

All people who make this forum what it is. If we had a forum that was all about rides/kit etc. , it would bore the tits off of me.

Keep up the good work lads (and lassie).

molgrips………….only thing is, is that they are not…..they just dont agree with him.

this thread will end by fred reporting someone to the mods for something or other.
most of the threads he starts like this usually do.

trouble is, while racism may be a definable concept on which many people agree, ‘being thick’ is purely subjective and more than slightly insulting.

Is Fred a thickist ??

Is that an admission you can’t houns? really – if yo are going to make accusations you should be prepared to defend them

I woon’t really want to be hanging about with someone who I felt was a properly narrow-minded bigot, as some on here have clearly proven themselves to be.

So, again, someone who has an “onion you doon’t agree wiv” is a narrow minded bigot, are they?

Well, once again, when it comes to being narrow minded….

Dear Kettle, you are black*. Love, Pot.

*Or is that racist?

Fred i see you as a sad pathetic little troll with nothing better to do in his life to drag this once great, fun forum to your level. I wonder how you coped before you found stw?

Possibly a little bit better than you, if this is the kind of resentment you feel for someone you’ve only ever encountered online….

That is certainly not the way you approached the forum under your previous or at least your first username(s).

Teej, this may well be one of those ‘just walk away’ moments 😉

With multiple Bombers!

and soggy shoes

As a relative newbie, who is Fred?

I could class someone who is thick as someone who regularly gets banned from an internet forum for breaking the rules on numerous occasions, then because they are too stupid to take responsibility for their actions, threaten to sue the owners of said forum for banning them

Fair enough hilldodger point well and truly made I think

CFH the two statments are not the same. he does not say

o, someone who has an “onion you doon’t agree wiv” is a narrow minded bigot, are they

Is that an admission you can’t houns? really – if yo are going to make accusations you should be prepared to defend them

Where has he admitted he can’t Tandem?

I think he is disagreeing with people who are racist or thick etc. That seems entirely reasonable as a concept.

…but if you label someone racist or thick purely because you do not agree with them, regardless if they actually are or not, then that is highly unreasonable.

So, again, someone who has an “onion” you doon’t agree wiv is a narrow minded bigot, are they?

Erm once again, you’re misinterpreting what I’m actually saying…

Some people on here have proven themselves to be bigots. I’m not going to agree with someone I find bigoted, as bigotry is something I find abhorrent.

One of elfins many previous on line persona, all of whom ended up with permanent bans

😆

Ben – elfandsafety is fred – his previous persona on here

I agree completely with that, although it does rather need the words in my opinion tagged onto the end of the last sentence.

Ah bless, tj and fred making things up in their own minds again

Tandem, where did houns admit anything? (2)

A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs*

Sound familiar, Fred?

LOL – wtf? Seriously? This happened?

See now this is the bit of STW that is crap.

We’ve all had a good argue and chinwag about recent events and it’s been pretty interesting and lots of very different opinions have been expressed. Now the actual news has died down the hangover kicks in and the nastiness and bitching starts in earnest.

BORING. can anyone actually be arsed to start an online fight right now? I’d rather do and think some positive stuff.

Where houns? Did Fred say what you claimed he did? If so where? or are you unable to say where because he did not.
