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! ;-)

    • Many thanks to the woman who looked after our old deaf Miniature Schnauzer who got separated from us in the park this morning. And thank you to the man who alerted us . My husband is very relieved and grateful. If any one knows who these people are please say thank you as he didn't get their names. 
    • why do we think we have the right for the elected local council to be transparent?
    • Granted Shoreditch is still London, but given that the council & organisers main argument for the festival is that it is a local event, for local people (to use your metaphor), there's surprisingly little to back this up. As Blah Blah informatively points out, this is now just a commercial venture with no local connection. Our park is regarded by them as an asset that they've paid to use & abuse. There's never been any details provided of where the attendees are from, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's never been any details provided of any increase in sales for local businesses, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's promises of "opportunities" for local people & traders to work at the festival, but, again, no figures to back this up. And lastly, the fee for the whole thing goes 100% to running the Events dept, and the dozens of free events that no-one seems able to identify, and, yes, you guessed it - no details provided for by the council. So again, no tangible benefit for the residents of the area.
