Oh come off it Cherie, on several occasions Brillo has made inflammatory and uncivilised posts along the lines of 'well those stupid naive young people have been brainwashed by Corbyn haha' and 'they don't know what they're voting for, they just want freebies, pure delusion in my opinion'. I don't think that's conducive to a productive debate.

The fact of the matter is here is that if Brillo and co want to to make incessant threads and posts about Muslims that some people find racially antagonistic, then they also have to be prepared for incessant responses to them. By all means have your opinion, but your right to an opinion is not also a right to have no one criticise that opinion. That would in actual fact be rather...politically correct would it not?

It doesn't take a genius to work out the intent of such comments and who they're directed at, it is baiting and you know it.

If I started saying 'well it's just those rich old white Tory voters who care about nothing but themselves, they love voting to have the disabled killed' in every political thread I don't think it'd go down very well do you? You can conduct yourself in a manner that is conducive to a civilised debate or start throwing around petty insults, but if one starts them, you should expect them back.

That debate has been done ad nauseum so I won't entertain it again but if you had such an issue with a remark you found to be baiting and insulting to members of the forum, why don't you have an issue with a poster denigrating young people and people on the left with petty and inflammatory comments?

I didn't say I didn't have an issue with it, if I agreed with any of those comments maybe you could find it for me. I don't agree with mass generalisations tbf, usually when Brillo reacts in this way it is a result of provocation, is she meant to just take it all on the chin?

anyway I have had enough of this points have been made. I'm off to do some work.

Absolving Brillo of any blame and pretending that she never insults anyone first is akin to agreeing with the use of such comments as far as I'm concerned. She sometimes opens threads with these remarks, posting another article about Jeremy Corbyn and then making an inflammatory dig about those who voted for him being deluded and naive. I'm sure I could find several examples of this if I could be bothered.

The "cat ladies" remark that once pointed out was not acceptable no one had ever used ?

No, I'll give her that, she doesn't. You are the one who singles people out, not Brillo.

You singled me out inaccurately in your blog, so if you give it out, you need to take it back..
