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?

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
