We can disagree vehemently yet appropriately.
Yet there are still some people who think that
nasty ill-intentioned words are not a big deal.
In reality they are - especially if the perpetrators
only direct criticism and only criticism at their
chosen targets.

Unfortunately, this appears to be quite a common practice
on public forums such as this one where one encounters
people with a wide variety of backgrounds, education,
experiences, and values, including some that one would
normally avoid in our daily lives. That's as they say is
the jungle of the internet - where strident voices try
to manipulate others.

The best reaction is usually the
one that does not give these people the power to have
any sort of control. - Best - simply not respond and walk
away. But of course that's easier said than done.
And when the right buttons are pushed - we all tend to
react.

Where have I heard the term - "handbag hit squad" before?
Sounds so familiar. Reminds me of other labels
like - aka Progressives, Fabians, Emily Listers,
ad nauseum.
All so repetitive and predictable.

cont'd ...

otb,

By the way, you are obviously a product of
your generation with your antiquated reference
of the "...hit squad."

Not only is this sexist
in the extreme, condescending and downright
offensive - it also shows how out of touch
you really are with today's women.

OTB,

The pack is back without a SOH again.

As an outsider looking in, you are so right. Spoilt little thin skinned princesses.
Poirot complains about personal attacks and her comments gets deleted for abuse on various times. But I'm the only abuser here. She pesters everyone. Take a look at Black and White Flag. She just dives in defending Muslims without any idea of Islam and tries to ridicule the posters for questioning. She’s all empty leftie ideology. You might notice that they are unable to partake in any heavy topics. They just go on pestering. Natter, natter…

Reminds me of one of the characters in Little Britain says “I’m a lady, I’m a lady”. I agree, I do find them terribly old fashioned too. But there are still some men around who still fall for it and think they need protection. They love that and then a not long after they suddenly become ardent feminists. Gets confusing.

Nows she’s threatening to report me. Ho hum, another BORING BUREAUCRATIC lackey.

“What is it with these females always coming to the rescue for each other? Like a tribe." And Poirot calls this venomous! How lame can you get? Look what society’s done to them. This is one of the reasons why I am so concerned.

Their fawning over each other is plain sicko. This is one reason why I relate to men more. I can’t stand all that superficiality.

I’ve been writing something which includes a bit on false charm. Stay tuned.

SuzeOn..?,

Using the same mantra I see. I had a really joyful Xmas thanks and am still in a cheery mood.

I’ve posted about Secularism in the West in collision with Islam in the recent past. I didn’t want to repeat myself on this thread. But stay tuned for a bit of a touch on that, not that I’m expecting you to take it seriously.

Poirot,

As predicted. You’re all over the joint. One minute you say you never read my posts then I’m quoted all over. Something is going on there.

"How does that assist in espousing your deliberate concerns regarding society?" Heck you know, because you are one of the major concerns who want us all silenced.

Abnoxcious all the time? I guess you might find it that when it gets beyond your understanding because you are unable to think beyond anything outside the Lefty Square. I’ve caught you on a few occasions actually agree with me. “How to be Free” by Dr Tom for instance. Even my PapaTech take many moons ago you begrudgingly expressed interest.

I act like butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth? I think you got me mixed up with the Fox. I’m mad and bad, bro. I’m not one dimensional nor a holy Jo. Who wants to be that?

Bye.

Constance , it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy (and not surprised) that you feel able to relate to men more.
I am sure Onthebeach needs a bosom pal like you.....in fact your MO is very similar!

The way all the other posters relate to each other is up to them, and as this is an opinion forum then it is obvious that we are all allowed our own opinion on subjects as long as we remain within the guidelines from the Moderator.

If you step outside of those rules again,. Poirot won't be the only one reporting you....

Constance,

I know you can read - in fact you are probably the most articulate aggressor on this forum...however, I didn't say I never read your posts. I said I had never visited the page that hosts your "posting history".

Yes, in fact I do agree with much of your sentiment...it's just that I don't feel the need to personally slander the men and women around here in order to get my point across.

Why do you do it?

I mean why can't you just say what you don't like about modern Western society without picking up an OLO poster and smearing them with invective - unprovoked.

I mean "now" you're obviously provoked because someone has called out your questionable behaviour...already in the last two posts we have:

"Spoilt little thin skinned princesses.
Poirot"

"Their fawning over each other is plain sicko..."

"SuzeOn..?," (an allusion to your recent despicable label for Suse)

But this is the bit I like the best:

"...I’m mad and bad, bro. I’m not one dimensional nor a holy Jo..."

Bring it on, Constance

(I think you'll find that Poirot is not one dimensional either:)
