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?

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
