Election Year or Fear!

Decision made. I shall no longer read or reply to any posts by TTR.

His posts are, IMO, mainly ridiculous right wing rubbish. In this particular case, even when presented, verbatim, with what he posted, he claims he didn't.

He even replies to that quote with another gibberish rant that doesn't address the situation.

I'm simply not going to waste any more of my time on him and his, IMO, stupidity. He wrote what he wrote. It means what it means. There was a chance that he meant something else, I said exactly that. The response? It's bla bla who organises bla bla bla...

The end!

Seconded. It seems the best/only way forward now. Here’s a tip for Tricky…and for AF too perhaps. When the context is in a written form and everything is there for everyone to see in black and white there’s really no point in denial…just makes you look daft.

In the meantime, life’s too short, and I shall confine my exchanges on here to those who don’t deal in denial and deflection and are prepared to put their hand up when in the wrong.

Definitely a bizarre situation.

I tend to think something else was meant, not sure what mind. Did think Andy's stance was a weird one. But it is what it is.

I do usually ignore TTR rants, and probably should have done once again.

Anyway, what's done is done.

A decision I made a long time ago, he is impervious to reality or even logical thinking, so far down the rabbit hole its laughable. I've had him on ignore for over 12 months, and every time I choose to view a post or see one quoted by one of you guys, I regret not ignoring it.

I mean there is a case for not ignoring the twaddle put out by these ****s, but that applies to the outside world, on this Forum ignore is the only way of staying sane. You can't argue with stupid.

Thee is no point in debating with a mass debater!!

Very little, if you can?t/won?t explain yourself.

The quote is, ?I think you need to grab a socialy workers placard and run for a free Palestime march, where you can trash Farage/Trump/Jews/Tories etc among many of the same ilk as you.
I?m sure you?ll feel much happier instead wasting it on here.?

I know it?s appallingly written and riddled with errors, but if that isn?t a case of Tricky saying, amongst other things, that Sith wants to have a go at Farage/Trump/Jews and Tories then what do you suggest he is saying?

We all recognise that Sith has little more than contempt for Farage and Trump and that he hasn?t got much time for a certain type of Tory, but to suggest that he is anti Semitic is, imo, nonsense and quite probably - in more important circumstances - libellous.

It is a completely indefensible statement and your lack of any explanation for your failure to act along with Tricky?s repeated refusal to retract is increasingly incomprehensible. You?re a moderator. Tricky is an ex moderator. You should both know better and need to explain yourselves imo.

I see AF has ignored your perfectly reasonable post! Funny that! But what's been obvious to me is that AF holds similar views to the bonkers red one, but presents a much more reasonable approach, being careful not to overstep the mark. Why else as moderator would he ignore the numerous xenophobic, misogynistic and racist posts that guy has made over the past few years? And the guy has form, some of his posts on ForestMad were beyond debate or banter or offering a different point of view, they were dwon right creepy, offensive and nasty.

I whole heartedly agree that ignoring the dumb red one is correct, its tempting to respond but the guy is past an sensible debate.

Going back to a recent ?discussion?, interestingly the BBC news lead story this am appeared to resolve the conundrum of whether (a significant majority of) ?Turkish? (or other eastern-ethnic) barber shops are an example of ?immigrant? industriousness or a front for money laundering, illegal cigarette sales, use of illegal ?immigrants? and other criminal activities, very much in favour of the latter (at least in the target area, although the subsequent TV discussion suggested it was UK-wide). Weight of evidence therein sort of makes our earlier discussion a bit pointless

Excellent piece of deflection, on a par with your best efforts to date!!

So three of this small band of brothers have chosen not to engage in discussion with the only person with a consistently conflicting view. I'm impartial so its for others to judge how grown up that is, but I wonder if you've considered that such actions now allow TTR to have free reign to post whatever he wants unchallenged/un-responded too apart from by relative newcomers, the less-bothered and the in-it-for-the joshers. I do wonder how long your resolve will last - and maybe in view of the lack of interaction expected, the thread should be closed?

[MadAmster]

Only local elections coming up...

Closing the thread SHOULD remove the opportunity to spout utter rubbish although the same crap appearing on a Derby County related post shouldn't be discounted.

Someone posts "Derby 3 points closer to safety". Response is "same as the number of mosques opened in England over the past 4 months". Sounds daft at first thought, but I wouldn't put it past him.

I'm just not willing to clash heads with someone who refuses to understand what he actually posted when it's quoted verbatim back at him. It's a complete and utetr waste of my time and energy and I am no longer willing to play that game.
