We're preaching to the unconvertible Bob.


"It seems you've done a bit of selective reading as clearly you haven't acknowledged the first sentence - "Sympathy is an extension of empathic concern"."


Look in a dictionary and they are clearly two different though thematically related concepts


Sympathy

Feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.

Formal expression of such feelings; condolences


Empathy

The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.


The wikipedia phrase you quote is essentially just meaningless waffle, it is wikipedia after all.


Anyway, my head is sore from the brick wall, I give up.

Oh I see.. You run into the room of strangers, you repeatedly tell them all how brilliant you are in the most ridiculous manner (as well as how stupid they are), then when they all tell you you're a tit - you play the victim?



Wake up and smell the coffee, man!



It's you. Take responsibility for the reaction YOU illicit in others.

As if I'm going to listen to a bunch of imbalance people. I say get over your low self-esteem issues as I much rather want to talk about football. Something that is sorely lacking in your posts.


Anyway, no amount of bullying will force me off the forum.

Other individuals don't have a problem with me and have had private messages giving support after seeing abuses targetted towards me.


I think the real issue is low self-esteem for people like Bob and co. Bob didn't exactly appeared in this thread to talk about in-depth football matters unless I'm seriously mistaken. Besides what gives him the right to tell me who I am or not? If he feels inadequate then seek treatment. I don't have any issues with people who are better than me on certain subjects. Why would I?

On behalf of my client Red Devil, I am writing to state that Red Devil wishes it to be known that he has not sent UDT a private message of support.

Should any fellow forumite allude to such a slanderous accusation, they will be served with the relevent writ.

Otta, I draw the line with football arguments over your nonsense that everyone hates Liverpool.

I'm not too concern. It's usually the same few individuals who feel they have a god given right to dictate what can be said on a forum.

She was saying that you're a troll UDT, keep up.


Going back a step, what I was asking UDT is, being as you think I know nothing about footballo, does that mean that all of my views about anything are automatically dismissed by you, or just my views on football.


Secondly, is there a UDT Football Exam that we can sit, in order to prove our worth in a discussion about this deeply complex subject?

I respect Jah Lush posts when he talks about football from a footballing angle. You're unable to do so. Can you see the difference? It has nothing to do with matching up to my high standards. You only trying to misrepresent the situation because you don't like me. That isn't my problem. It's yours and you really need to get over your lack of self-esteem.

Otta, no amount of bullying or misrepresentation is going to make me accept your poorly thought out views on football. It's my right if I choose what to accept. Get over it.

I think I'll be able to get over it. You still didn't actually answer my question, but that is hardly surprising.


Interesting you mention Jah, as I noticed that having predicted that Italy would win, Jah immediately posted along the lines of "ahem, I got that one wrong then". A good humoured post, that people appreciate.


Can you see the difference between you and Jah?

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
