O/T Would You Welcome Another Referendum On Brexit ?

[Exiletyke]

It’s pretty shameful of you to seek to weaponise what happened at Oakwell last Saturday, but given your desire to show how much you care, is there any reason why you didn’t contribute to the thread about Kevin Beattie last week? The poor chap only managed a couple of RIPs.

You operate in the weirdest moral framework I have ever come across if you judge people upon the basis of whether they contribute to threads about someone they do not know, have never met and probably never will meet. It’s positively bizarre.

Meaningless expressions of good wishes are something that I simply don't bother with. I don’t participate in the numerous celebrity RIP threads that appear on Miller’s Mad and resisted the urge to travel to Kensington Palace to lay flowers for Diana for the same reason. Perhaps you did?

How odd that you think it shameful of me when you accuse me of "weaponiising" about the unfortunate event at Oakwell then proceed to do exactly the same about Kevin Beattie [a thread that I missed btw]

Of course you missed it Exile. After all, this is such a busy site that it would only have been on the front page for three or four days.

Strangely, after having the thread drawn to your attention, you havien't added a meaningless RIP to show what a caring person you are.

Jesus.

You are missing the point, Exile. I have weaponised nobody's death or illness. I have pointed out the foolish and hypocritical nature of your argument that it is necessary to send good wishes to complete strangers who will probably never be aware of them being sent in order to show that one cares

This is not about a "meaningless" RIP as you so callously put it in spite of you trying to shift the thread that way & divert attention from you & your lack of sympathy/empathy
RIPs btw are a method of expressing sadness of someones passing
I was sad at the passing of Robin Williams Gene Wylder & quite a few others whom I did not know but doesn't stop me from expressiing my regret
This is about a man that suffered a cardiac arrest at our football ground
Read the notes from his family if you require any further proof how important it is to receive well wishes even if some of them are from people you don't know
If ever you spend any time in hospital you would come to realise [or in your sad case perhaps not] that such messages of support albeit spiritual tend to give you a lift even if only a small one

So why haven't you put up a RIP for Beatty then? Having missed the thread, you have now been told about it, so why haven't you taken the opportunity to express sadness at his passing? For that matter, as a caring person, why don't you peruse the obituary column of your local rag and then start RIP threads for other people who you didn't know?

What do you see as the value of a public expression of regret? What do you think you are achieving?

I don't know the chap who had the heart attack at Oakwell. I'm sure it was a terrible and frightening experience for him and his family, which is why I think it shameful that you use the incident to try to score points. You need to calm down for ten seconds, stop doing your angry Jack Russel impression and think for a moment about what you have been posting. If you do that, you should be ashamed of yourself, but I'm not holding my breath given your -oh so apparent - lack of any self awareness.

And none of this takes away for you 'fuq you' message to the poorer people in society who are likely to be disproportionately affected by and negative consequences of Brexit.

[Exiletyke]

Never heard of Beatty as in your haste to score points you can't even get his name right Now who's the Jack Russell?
Never said "fuq you" that's your spin on my remarks which were that "there's bugger all that you or I can do about the effects of Brexit
Not the same thing is it?
Just what do you intend to do about it?
It seems that when it comes to sympathy /empathy it's one of lifes lessons that have passed you by

You're still logged on BTW & it's now almost 10 !0am
Now haven't you got any work to do?
