Are the Lib Dems back?

[Louisa]

What a bizarre thread. Yet again, onlookers in the outside world will be voting with their fingers when it comes to contributing to this forum. Ever decreasing circles, round and round we go, same old conclusions.

Yeah, because you?re so much more of a pleasure to read...

Don't worry, JoeLeg. Sue doesn't appear to be getting out of her bed any time soon.

Just accept that you got this one wrong and we can all move on.

So you started posting on this forum on 6 February, 2wans.

Would you say that your fourteen posts so far, including those on this thread, have contributed to the forum or the local community at all?

I'm genuinely interested to know.

So now that you?ve been called out on your original insulting post and no one?s buying your excuses, you?ve retreated into outright trolling? Well, whatever makes you feel like you haven?t wasted the day...

"limp wrist"

noun, Slang: Disparaging and Offensive.

1.

a contemptuous term used to refer to a homosexual, especially a male homosexual.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/limp-wrist

Other dictionaries are available online and off. Almost all note that "limp wrist" and its derivative forms are impolite or offensive.

If you don't know the meaning of the words and phrases you are using, you should consider using only words whose meaning you do understand. Unless, of course, you are just trolling for amusement - though if you are, there are other online fora where you might feel more at home.

[2wans]

................................................ Right.

EDIT: Just because someone thinks it's okay to slip in a few homophobic euphemisms in the dictionary & bring a whole new meaning to the word "limp" when combined with "wristed", does not mean we all think like that. Again, that says more about you, not me.

In any case, it turned out to be Jehovah's Witnesses. I've never known them to persistently knock on a week day.

Thanks for the heads up, paulu1973. I was told it was probably a political party because they tend to have a certain way of knocking {according to my mum}. I just wanted to make sure. It might be worth catching them next time I'm around & asking them to stop knocking.

2wans....

It is called canvassing and all political parties do it, especially when they have a sitting councillor (as ED does), all year round. Why? Because it is a good way to ask people if there is anything they would like to see the council address or do better. They will even happily chat with trouble making trolls like you.

IRONICALLY, the only TROLLS in this thread are the select few who decided to take my description of a knock & attack me, making the assumption that I was being homophobic. I know myself well enough, & so do my friends. What else matters?

You're so backwards, & no matter how sincere I am it is't going to change a thing, so this is my final post. I'm out.

[JoeLeg]

Good riddance...

[Zebedee Tring]

Classic bullying tactic. Insult other people and then moan that you're being bullied.

[TheCat]

...well...that escalated quickly.....

[Blah Blah]

It's not the first bonkers exchange here, and probably won't be the last either :)

If you don't want to get bothered by politicos door-stepping you then just give them a long expletive-ridden rant about their policies and failings and they will strike you off their list and they will never bother you again.

It works for me! I've never had any of them around for years. Bliss!

To be fair, lots of people tend to club together in a pack mentality on this forum. I?ve experienced it, I?ve seen it done to others, it?s not pleasant.

I am not at all defending the OP here. Blatant trolling can be just as annoying and damaging to the forum. My initial reaction was more to do with the shear exasperation at yet another self absorbed thread, miles off topic (if there even was a topic), and another argument with familiar, as well as new (or reincarnated) forum users.

And people had the audacity to say myself and another regular on here were the primary cause of this forum becoming boring and predictable.

How do you know it?s the Lib Dem?s if you haven?t answered the door? And I wonder if you would be complaining about someone knocking loudly and aggressively...
