Barryd999 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Brian Kirby - 2021-01-20 1:12 PM Birdbrain - 2021-01-20 7:14 AM........................................................Both ... Ive found it massively hypocritical that hes targeted me while I have probably been the target of more names and insults than anyone on here and lets be honest bullies and trolls should never win should they ... As much as I am outraged of Huddersfield Stuarts childish silliness has made me laugh, a lot ... I cant believe a grown man on here has actually taken the time, gone out of his way and thought that trolling another member with a hate campaign with post after post of warnings to other members to not respond to that member is a good idea ... Yuk So maybe this is the clue? It is all just a mismatch of various senses of humour? What one person sees as funny, another sees as insulting or intentional provocation? Differing sensibilities, on differing issues, leading to misunderstandings as to intent? Possibly made worse by the fact that we have no way of communicating in parallel via facial expressions, winks, etc, when the intention is humorous, and when it is a direct attack on the person? That all we have to judge the intention using just the written word - with no added context. If so it is easily remedied, if everyone can allow for the shortcomings of written communication, especially if written in haste - more so if the poster fails to read what they have written while asking themselves how their "quip" may come across to the "quipped". I don't think I've seen as many instances of people actually calling names, as I've seen people saying that posts (but not the poster) have questionable characteristics - although I can understand that such comments could, especially if carelessly phrased, be interpreted as criticism of the poster. So is that all it is? Just a series of misunderstandings stemming from jokes gone wrong, leading to misperceptions as to the character of the joker, amplified at times by careless phraseology? If so, just wipe the slates clean, and kiss and make up (selectively, of course - there are limits!) :-D Lets hope so. B-) Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I cant say I was particularly happy with being told to ignore somebody. You ignore Mr Birdbrain if you like. His insults to me do not annoy me so he is not a "frequent tormentor" to me. Its water of a ducks back to me and lets face it a lot of it is not serious. Well not on my account anyway. I find some of it amusing but apparently I find violence and vandalism funny so maybe its just me. (lol) I would just forget it Stuart. Dont let it upset you. Or, dont get mad, get even!! (lol) I stuck my neck out quite a long way to challenge Birdbrian about his behaviour (which has been awful) and you have undermined what I did by continuing to exchange with him - seemingly for no good reason at all. You "weren't particularly happy about being told" to ignore someone but who exactly "told" you to ignore him? Surely you were merely politely invited to do so. And because of your stubborn refusal to cooperate, for no good reason at all and perhaps mainly because it wasn't your idea, when you personally had been one of Birdbrain's main targets (and you had complained about his insults, so don't now say you just found them funny) I suggest that you could have done a lot better. You deliberately chucked a spanner in the works and Birdbrain has exploited the opportunity which your support allowed him to strut his stuff and give me a lot of unwarranted stick. And now you have the cheek to tell me to stop and move on because you're finding my repetitive posts irritating. I suggest you should reflect on all this and when the need for a bit of cooperative action arises to improve the unmoderated Chatterbox by shaming someone into behaving better, you should be willing to be a team player for once rather than screwing things up just because you can. And what do you mean by "get even"? You would resort to dirty tricks if it was you would you? Is that he person you are? Publish Birdbrain's personal details and suggest that we all write to his elderly mum to detail his iniquity would you? That might well have the desired effect but it wouldn't be right to do it, would it? All we needed to do was shun Birdbrain connsistently for a relatively short while and he would get the message. Other people are posting on this thread in ways which show you that there is widespread support.. You could at least stop supporting Birdbrain and let the rest of us have a proper go at influencing him. Stuart. I think you are taking all this a bit too seriously but I will address the bits in bold above if I may. 1. Who exactly told me to ignore him? You did repeatedly to the point where every thread had your long post telling people to ignore him. 2. You think I ignored your directive because it wasn't my idea! (lol) I ignored it because I don't agree with it. The insults Birdbrain and myself might direct towards each other are for me at least somewhat tongue in cheek. A bit "Hollywood" as Mr Birdbrain likes to say. 3. I havent deliberately thrown a spanner in the works either. I just don't agree with your course of action. As for not being a team player? Come on! This is a forum. A general place where internet mates get together for a bit of an old debate, chinwag, maybe the odd piss take etc. I don't think we have an HR department! I actually come on here for a bit of entertainment as well as some robust discussion. I think you are taking it too seriously. As for the last bit about his mum I have no idea what you are on about. Having said all that, I don't want anyone to be upset or for any real "fall outs" and I am sorry you feel let down, offended, frustrated but you have to remember this is a forum. We wont all agree and unless you know the person well its often difficult to know if they are being serious, half joking or just winding you up. I hope we can continue to enjoy posting in lets face it what are difficult times where we need a bit of social interaction. Chuckle ... To understand your post Stuart is going to have to learn whats a wind up and whats not ... You know, like I know when we 'hate' each other on here the majority of the time its basically just a wind up ... I dont hate you and I know you dont hate me, we were born to wind each other up but Stuart couldn't ever understand that because he lacks one thing ... Our sense of humour ... His hate campaign against me though has been an outrage though, a fecking disgrace to be honest Ah! but is that now a wind up or do you mean it? Both ... Ive found it massively hypocritical that hes targeted me while I have probably been the target of more names and insults than anyone on here and lets be honest bullies and trolls should never win should they ... As much as I am outraged of Huddersfield Stuarts childish silliness has made me laugh, a lot ... I cant believe a grown man on here has actually taken the time, gone out of his way and thought that trolling another member with a hate campaign with post after post of warnings to other members to not respond to that member is a good idea ... Yuk You only have yourself to blame. Everyone else seem to be civil to each other, try it and maybe you will get the result you say you want.
