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.

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

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

drive by shoutings :)

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.

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

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
