Does Cyberbullying exist on SZ?

Osy,
But that's New Testament crap.

MC,
Now you're exaggerating the numbers of you're (not so)merry little gang.
As you know full well, you're one of about half a dozen people who have a look at my rep on the settings section,look at other people's comments , and then echo that in a comment of your own.
If that's not a gang mentality, then I don't know what is.There's nothing independant about it whatsoever.Granted you do it individually but that's all.
There may well be twenty or so who are prepared to engage in debate with me in public.I have no problem with that.
FWIW, I think of you as a rightwinger(lite).You seem to have a sense of humour, as regards the comments you make, on the public boards.I've been interested in some of the things you've had to say about growing up on a council estate and running your own business.
I could do without some of the snide,bandwagon comments you address to me via the rep facility however.

Back to the original point, I reckon there are 20 people on here that think you talk - "rep gang" or not. As you love politics, let's take it to the polls!

I think he was more after this guy ;) (green rep for anyone who can name him with out googlling )

or reading the properties :P

Geoffrey.....

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Yes, but we're talking about civilised people, not foreigners!


Oh come on, someone had to say it :smile:

Amusing but indicative...

Care to elaborate on that?

Nope.I think it speaks for itself.

Really? I merely thought it was indicative of the snidey comments that you're never willing to back up, yet seem happy to hand around to all who disagree with you. You know, like the ones you complain about receiving.

For what it's worth it was a humorous (possibly) comment made to play up to a stereotype (the rabid right winger that you apparently seem to think I am). If you're unable to tell the difference between that and a truly believed in view, then I'm afraid you're a lost cause.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Was your child-hood fun or were you a victim of un-cyber bullying ?

I do remember it as fun - but it sure was a long time ago now! I wasn't a victim of bullying, but I remember being wary of a gang called 'The Treecotters' around our way. If only I'd known THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK then (sigh) ...

I wonder if you serve many foreigners in your garden centre?:unsure:

Not quite sure what you're getting at there, but yes. There's quite a large immigrant population around here (some economic, some asylum, some through marriage) If it helps we also employ an Irish girl who was brought up in South Africa, we have a Polish couple who work at head office, and rent a flat on the premises, and I've in the past shared a house with French, Germans, South Africans, even Australians!

Having said all that, you're probably so sure in your opinion of me that you'll put that alongside the classic "some of my best friends are black" type phrase

 

[Rob Noxious]

I dont need, or ask for anyone to be behind me. My opinions are my own, is it a coincidence they are similar to a lot of others on here?

And why would i want to have a dig at you? Although you appear to share similar views with your bro, you seem to be able to put them across without attracting a load of abuse. Your brother however comes across as a pompous twit who continually quotes the Guardian on matters relating to a Country he left long ago.
I'm sure he is a really nice bloke in the flesh, and next time he gives us Brits the honour of a visit to our shores, you might give him a few tips on how to get on with people.

My original dig at you was misguided, but (as with my earlier retort to 'stereoscene') was made with the intention of letting some of his snipers know that this gang onslaught towards him is unedifying for all concerned. I don't know if you have brothers, but I'd suggest that the oldest is always right. :winking:

Thanks for your answer.
FWIW,I don't actually have an opinion of you(though I'm beginning to form one).

Oh no he's not.:winking:

You're welcome, I'm always happy to give an answer where I can.

On your second point, you say you don't have an opinion of me (even if you are starting to form one) With that in mind, would you care to explain what my original comment was indicative of? I'd have thought you were implying that I was a "little Englander", but that would've meant you already had a formed opinion.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Oh no he's not.:winking:

You know, I think some of the folk on here might just agree with that ...


("Oh no we don't!")

One opinion I have formed about you is that you're a member of The Right Wing Group(this group within a group on SZ).I notice that most of the people who leave red rep using the rep facility and who have commented adversely on here(like you)are also members.
Care to comment on that?

 

[Hotman]

Barnablue (and apologies if I call you barnacle, my ipad likes to try to autocorrect misspellings...) - it isn't all about politics! And even if it was, it isn't as simple as left and right. You should know that! Would you class Nazis and the BNP economically left wing or right wing?

I agree that it's not all about politics or as simple as left and right.
I notice that you're an active member of The Right Wing group(this group within a group)on SZ.
Perhaps you care to comment on your activities?
Perhaps you'd also like to comment on the quotations I lifted below from Rusty and Graysblue?

<Rusty Shackleford - 15-11-2008, 12:19 AM
Read my lips. No more immigrants<

Or how about this one from Graysblue;-

<graysblue - 15-11-2008, 01:35 PM
grays is now called little africa,fecking hell there are thousands swanning around seemingly with no job.

and they def cannot drive<

Why are you guys happy to say things in private which you're not prepared to defend in public?
