Anti-social behaviour in ED - WARNING: Don't read this if you have no sense of humour


Recommended Posts

You're mixing up two different threads. It's fine to discuss and disagree with Cella's original post - the forum is, of course, a great place for debate. It is a different matter entirely to start another thread which mocks her.

I quite like this thread. Initially a person expresses outrage at a person's behaviour in the physical world. LD then expresses outrage, in the form of a parody, at the defilement of a public internet forum with what she considers a triviality. So, we have ever decreasing circles of outrage rippling from the real world to the internet. And then I post. And like all of my recent posts, my words fall into the void and the thread no doubt ends.


I miss the aeroplane thread for its I'm outraged that your outraged circularity. They were a bit noisy this morning. Can someone bring it back?

Nothing to do with not having a sense of humour but how on earth do any of you think this thread is actually amusing? I could understand if you were of an age, say somewhere in the range of 6-9 years of age, where snot, mud, worms and dirt are highly amusing but I though ED and in particular the EDF had a little more class than those currently being displayed.


Disappointed? yes

Disgusted? Most definately

Surprised? No not really. I do recall a forum event some years ago where a similar sort of thing arose amongst the "regulars". Sad

If I'm thinking of the same occassion KB is, to which I feel ashamed for inviting KB along - still working on his forgiveness! - (don't think you were there SJ) it certainly wasn't particularly pleasant. Although, of course that could just be my opinion on what is/should be socially acceptable in a public place and I could be out dated on such things! ;-)

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
