Londonmix sent me a private message to call me a 'jerk'

[????]

fook me......pathetic thread but causing much amusement

[BrandNewGuy]

I pitched an idea to the Beeb ? a Caribeean cooking challenge. They never got back to me. Oh well, I'll just have to go elsewhere with "The Great British Jerk Off"...

[Otta]

They used to have an annual jerk off at Hornimans.

[steveo]

Jerk, bicker, w*nker, breastfeeding, jeering, cyber bullying, piss taking.

I'm going to have my tea now but I'll definitely be back for more

[Louisa]

Gutted I missed this one. But to be fair, a storm in a teacup (as ever).

Louisa.

You think it's inflammatory and aggressive to use the word 'jeering'?

I'm genuinely perplexed.

Perhaps you know a different definition from me?

I think it's really bad forum etiquette to start a thread about a private message, naming the person who sent it and publishing the content or alluding to what it was about.

If you're prepared to post on a public forum, and be quite antagonistic with it, then you can reasonably expect to receive a response on the forum or by PM.

I don't read the family room posts but from what I've seen of Londonmix on other parts of the forum comes across as a reasonable, fair and interesting poster whose contributions are worth reading. Increasingly rare qualities these days, in my opinion. LM has already politely explained their use of the word jerk and why they PMd rather than derailed the thread so no need to go on about other ridiculous things it could have meant. I'd be horrified if someone started a thread about a PM I'd sent. It's unnecessary and unpleasant behaviour.

If you're being "cyber-bullied" or receiving offensive, abusive PMs then that's another matter entirely. Nothing to see here tho.

Which clique is this then? I'm apparently in several different cliques, I should probably name them.

[Asset]

the clique that the other clique don't belong to obviously

Oh god blimey, wipe your mouth of it all

And offering to meet someone to 'have it out' is idiotic

Being called a jerk in a pm is pretty polite given the above

I'm thinking something stronger here

[Jeremy]

"Self-reflection"? Patronising jerk.

[dogcatdog]

I hear the latest grand theft auto is centered around a fictional East Dulwich. Where nothing really happens except people abuse each other with childish names in drive by shoutings and message boards. Then bleat about a tree being damaged for the rest of the game.

If you do decide to have it out in person i would be happy to referee if you could make it a Friday morning as I'm turfed out of my flat by the cleaner #firstworldproblems

[*Bob*]

Jeremy just PM'd me and said I had 'shit for brains'.

I am contacting the police.

You should do..hate crime. Ask Foxy he's good on this.

[Otta]

I sent Quids a PM telling him to wind his neck in. Flaunting his obvious wealth with hos very user name, rubbing it in. The jerk.

And LondonMix? Mix what what? RACIST!!!

[rabbitears]

I just sent myself a PM calling myself a gentrifier. I've reported myself to the mods, the police and the rockers.

lol

This is probably the least risky forum in the world to act like an internet tough guy and ask people if they "want some". What are you going to do, throw their latte over their labradoodle? "Jerk" sounds like an okay description.

[Alan Medic]

Not as rich as a 'newbie' writing that. Unless of course you aren't. In which case who were you before?
