[i]If I was better with words I might be able to draw a comparison to some people's over heated reaction to some of the posts on this thread and shoving a woman off a bike for flicking the finger..[/i]
The only comparison is - words on a forum have absolutely no meaning compared to physical actions.
Well you seem to think anyone who speaks to anyone is so yes you must be looking for unpredictable over the top reaction resulting in violence.
Your basis for this please?
Oh, & you were the one offering consequences not I!
I'm off - bored.
Said my piece & made it QUITE clear how I feel.
Interpret away.
[quote=teasel opined]Junkyard. Why do you feel the need to be rude when interacting with folk on this forum?
WHOOSH
But thanks for being so kind and polite about me
๐
A perfect example...
I'm a bit confused - how was she "gobbing off"?
Maybe my world is a bit too like Junkyard's, but I don't think a woman in her early 40s calmly saying [i]"Please don't try and knock me off"[/i] is gobbing off.
Responding to that simple request with [i]"Shut up you ****"[/i] THAT would be gobbing off!
This kind of boll@$&s is part of the reason I moved away from the South East, everybody is so highly strung and the general attitude of London-centric types is that they'd sooner glare at you than say 'hello'....any instruction to somebody seems to be seen as an invitation to fight, add in overcrowding, congestion etc and I just threw in the towel, there's more to life than house prices.
Take the blinkers off people and move away from Laahndahn and the South East, there are far nicer places to reside!
Thats a good & brave point - but you'd better be able to deal with the consequences of your actions.
The point is that there's a certain amount of whataboutery on this thread, whereas in fact this is a simple case of right and wrong.

That's what I said. Bloody cyclists.
What I don't get with all of these posts is this:
Someone is blatantly assaulted and a load of folk line up to blame the person who was assaulted. Now sure we could all do things a little better/not shoot our mouths off when riled up - but for goodness sake that was assault, nothing less - stop blaming the victim for an angry person losing control and assaulting someone.

Whereabouts...?
a load of folk line up to blame the person who was assaulted.
Again; whereabouts?
But... but, that's not a fish pie.
"Here, get this. I was crossing a road minding my own business when some stuck up cow passed me on a bike and asked 'please don't try and knock me off'! I was like WTF! Told the stupid cow to **** off! But wait, get this. She then stuck the finger up at me, cheeky bitch. I'm not having that, so I run after her and pushed her over lol."

Told the stupid fud to **** off! But wait, get this. He then stuck the finger up at me, cheeky prick. I'm not having that, so I run after him and pushed him over lol."
He`d obviously had a bad day on a forum

Hold your breath.
I'm gathering quotes.
Keep holding it.
