QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Nov 13 2015, 03:52 PM)  Hence the 'he / she' bit, now that is hardly sexist is it? I like many others suspect that shall we call it it? Is merely another forum member "aving a laff" but whatever the gender (and I really don't care) the posts themselves are so overblown with self righteous poposity they lose all sense and direction. Insulting? Yes. Entertaining? No, informative? No. Who ever it is can post all they want, it is a public forum after all but the question is, will they be taken seriously? No. Definitely not. Not with that attitude. You say it isn't sexist, but I've never heard you accuse a man of being he or a she. As you are not taken seriously with your attitude. |

I thought the remarks against Petra where sexist and the comments towards Heather were belittling, but to be honest it isn't really surprising. There is an air of superior arrogance. This forum used to have many members of both sexes, but a few have highjacked it. If people like Petra come along and people don't agree, or have a strong vocabulary they are marginalised and belittled. What this forum needs is an administrator to take charge when things get out of control.

You could use the same argument when Petra made the comments against you, but you didn't see it and her being a woman condemned her. Oh, sorry, Irony is a man's domain. Silly me! |

You are a sexist.  So when Petra posts this, it isn't an issue and it isn't sexist, but when I copy and paste what they wrote, it is and I am?What nonsense. |

QUOTE (GMR @ Nov 13 2015, 05:23 PM) I think you see little merit to anybody who stands up to you and challenges, more so if it is a woman. Believe what you want, but you will live in ignorance. |

A thread that was up to then peaceful and measured? |

Spider, GMR, and HeatherW are clearly from another forum. They follow the same pattern, offering the same hackneyed and false arguments....

And we were taught that civilisation gradually gets better!
I used to believe that democracy was best served when a community could properly debate the issues of the day and that would reveal the will of the people.... Umm, the only thing that can be said, is it seems even worse elsewhere. -------------------- Know your place!
