ATTN BEN
so, ben i just wanted to clarify with you
earlier i mentioned a story about a young girl in toronto who was allegedly assaulted on her way to school and had her hijab cut. this was covered by EVERY news outlet as a fact. it was reported as a hate crime, trudeau jumped on it and it went international. today those very same news outlets are running a different story saying ''hijab attack a hoax''. but not one of them has actually come out and said ''our reporting yesterday was wrong, we should have checked the story more carefully and we apologise sincerely for any upset caused by this and we have now corrected it''. no not one, so let's not kid ourselves that one is more ethical than another.
secondly, smelly has now proved that what you claimed about DW lying about the sexual assault of a child was actually a false claim by you.
he is now jacking off in excitement at his GOTCHA! moment and is desperate to be forum martyr, the political prisoner of newsfix, the oppressed one, the violated one etc etc so you see?
as much as i understand your frustration with fake news stories and all, you would basically have to ban them all cos they're all guilty of wrong information.
i acknowledge that what you say comes from a good place but it's not really workable. could you not possibly discuss with the mods, didge's suggestion of just taking each one case by case regardless of the source itself. we are all adult enough to be able to do this. y'all know how scrappy me and the didge are and it's not often i praise him for anything but i do honestly think that was a great suggestion of his.
anyhoos i really wanted to apologise for being such a complete and utter arsehole to you earlier. you really didn't deserve all that shit and it kind of blows away my comments of yesterday saying ''if you cant argue without insults then you've lost'' oops to me then.
sorry to be a total bitch, ben but i just kind of am so,,,,,,,and for what it's worth i think this is a great forum

Yes, and I meant capitalization.
I should have put some kind of smiley shit after it. I have a dry, wry sense of humor that doesn't always do well in the written format.

I don’t need smileys to understand people’s posts. I don’t use them much myself which is why some people don’t get my humour.

Gelico, thanks, and it's all good. We'll get it figured out, and I've taken no offense.

Hey! We are never evil. We just never know which character we will be from one moment to the next.
And the indecisiveness is painful.

he looked at me and said, ''more like 5 seconds later, it's impossible to keep up with you, you're mad''

Re: ATTN BEN
What do your mates down at the pub think of you and your escapades on a small forum?
I bet you get nuff respeck innit.
And the ladies.....serious tings, you’re gonna have to tell them how you got an online person to chop off his very own head and hand it to you on an imaginary platter!
I have no idea how you’re still living with Mother what with your stories of such online bravery. Why don’t you try getting on Instagram and telling the youngsters of our country too? Get yourself a skeng, put your hair in a ponytail and narrow your eyes for the best selfie of your life!
All just ideas of course. I’m sure your real life is far more interesting.
I bet you get nuff respeck innit.

Really. Too high-brow for you, huh?
Still, you’re an inventive chap! I’m sure you can still use my ideas and reshape them. Good luck anyway cos I reckon you have a bloody good story to tell.
I’m gonna think of a book title for you. Gimme a while.

It's irrelevant whether I got the reason right or not.
fact is, you have criticised me when I have been upset about things and yelled at people.
I am simply returning the favour.
Maybe if you stopped judging people then they will be less likely to judge you back????
That's how the world works!

If you think it's helpful to jump in and take sides, be my guest.
I have seen you lose your temper when judged, eddie.
A little understanding goes a long way.

Do you have to get up extra early in the mornings to practice being such a misery or is it a natural talent you were born with?
