The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

[nirvana]

For clarity, I mostly agree with KKK's posts, but when he rants it spoils all the good work and, imo, takes away his credibility and gives Mantis a clear advantage, (Not to mention a shedload of ammunition)

He then exacerbates the problem by defending it rather than holding his hands up and moving on.

 

Shortening someone's name to KKK is less bad than calling someone a prick?   
   

Yes it is.

Likening shortening someone's name to KKK with calling someone a prick is more your problem than anyone else's. DUCY?

Why not compare having your name shortened to KKK with me having my forum name shortened to EP?

Is having your name shortened to KKK less bad than shortening my name to EP?

Can't decide on this one

Tough one isn't it.

I wasn't trying to suggest that KKK was a member of the Ku Klux Klan when I shortened his name and I assume neither was RD. The context in neither of our posts appear to suggest that we were.

It appears that KKK thought that this is what I was doing though although I'm inferring that from the context of his post rightly or wrongly.

This is a subject I could debate for hours on end to be honest. H&M monkey tee-shirt anyone?

Once again, so far off topic its unreal.

No one thought EP was suggesting Kush was Klan material. It was pure snowflakery or those that like to jump on anything like this to twist it into something its not.

Mantis generates posts from poking or prodding at stuff, but trying to generate offence when clearly none was mentioned, or intended, is worse, IMHOOC

I'm just a trainee compared to M........I will continue to learn and grow though.......))

I didn’t think anyone was likening me to the Klan. Kukushkin is a minor character from Story of a Nobody by Chekhov, people believed him when he was lying and thought he was lying when he was telling the truth. It struck me that those would be handy skills at the poker table, so I made it my username :-)

Apologies for my misinterpretation of your previous post

In that case yes, shortening someone's name to KKK is 100% less bad than calling them a prick.

Apologies also for my part in the derailment.

Then f**king Tories eh?!?!

I knew that because I looked kukushkin up a few months ago when I began to take an interest in your posts.

I looked Mantis up too.

They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks

I am going to Brexit information evening at the British Embassy in Berlin tomorrow. No idea what the hell they are going to tell me. I am going for the LOLZ and the buffet.

Never posting on my phone again, was supposed to say Brexit in response to the fact we're off topic, it was hilarious when I wrote it :-)

I didn't think he was suggesting he was in the KKK, just thought it was pretty unfortunate, so get off your high horse.  Kind of comedy you accusing anyone else of snowflakery given your preponderence for flouncing Adz.

Anyway, things seem to be looking up in politics, May is having her vote after all, so Corbyn can go back to his strategic inaction. 

FWIW it is probably best just to call him kukushkin and not cuckoo though.

[MANTIS01]

Brutal commons today and thought Maybot took a pasting from all sides

Is she really trying to let the clock tick down or are there other motives?

FWIW probably best just to call her Theresa May and not Maybot

Got to give her credit for resilience and stamina if nothing else.

Ooooh, I don't think I could ever be called a snowflake with my views, let us not forget I am the blonde "racist"

Until the point you put "Shortening someone's name to KKK is less bad than calling someone a prick?" no one had even drawn the comparison to anything other than a quick name reference, so I think you were probably pulling us towards that KKK white hooded comparison.    


FWIW, Previously I just tended to tactically withdraw(flounce) when the old gang gets together, as you cant beat the numbers game.

One on one I'm just fine.......and these days I'm just having too much fun enjoying non angry contributors, not get angry etc......


Shame all this, hardly a single on topic post about Brexit today.
