Fuck... It's come a long way over the last few weeks. I think registering on Urban and the drawn-out reverse ferret after calling you/iwca a racist are definitely signs of some sort of decline.

Hope she's started using a notepad or dictaphone for those tricky interviews.

Her interviewees probably already do.

 

[Ronnie Rubashov]

Her interviewees probably already do.

I'd love her to interview me. I'd tell her my life story with scrupulous candour...at least the bits I remember. I'd love to see what she made of it and considered to be my motives. I like to call myself a socialist, broadly speaking-but I doubt she'd consider me one. I like football, big tits and binge drinking and I'm entirely unconvinced by identity politics...so, in reality, I'm probably some piece of ur-fascist scum preceded by a hash tag. But at least I've finally found out.

All you need to do is tweet her an article about something or other. Then she'll call you a racist or bigot of some description. Then she blocks you, everyone who knows you and anyone who points out that retweeting an article about the footballing career of Dalian Atkinson does not a racist make. Then later on, after you've threatened her with either legal action, a proper job or having to live without parties in swanky Notting Hill flats she'll get in touch and ring you up for a dialogue. Then you can do the interview over the phone

#heteronormative misogynist!

 

[BlackJamaican]

You said "black guys". That kind of implies "black men", Hector.
For a PR person, you don't seem particularly diplomatic. More gaffe-prone.

Don't worry about what is 'implied', my friend....just concentrate on what is said...it's less work for the brain!

A 'PR' person......you know how to make a man smile! Loving you already.

How do you imply things without say saying something? I make statements all the time whose purpose is largely unrelated or in direct contradiction to the ostensible meaning. But you've still got to say something.

"It's not you; it's me."

"No, really...it was fascinating"

"Racist!"

I think your mistaking me for an intelligent guy....Why give me a Rubic's cube mentally to deconstruct and rebuild into something I can understand....I tried and can't make any sense of what you want me to gain or understand from your appreciated reply.

If I say 'black guys' I am not implying "black men" I'm saying 'black guys' So don't give me a hard time about saying black men (I'm not saying this was you) when I didn't. That's all I'm saying.....I don't want to fight about this....I'm having enough trouble elsewhere on this site.

What is the difference between a black guy and a black man? And why do you call yourself BlackJamaican?

 

[ska invita]

its one harold bishop init

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

It's a fucking idiot whoever it is

 

[Orang Utan]

Why would you think that?

 

[Orang Utan]

Whoever he is, he's a prick and and a homophobe and a sexist creep and possibly a racist. He deserves short shrift

Hello Orang Utan, your in a questioning mood this evening!

No difference to your first question

As for why I call myself BlackJamaican..... thank you for asking....after nearly six months on this site your the first one to ask.....you deserve a box of chocolates just for that!

BlackJamaican is a name of a chess opening, just like the French Defence or maybe the Scandinavian, that's all....I play it very well. So I called my handle that when I joined this site. So now you understand why I say my name is not related to my colour or ethnicity!

Regards,
BlackJamaican

I can't possibly do that. You may choose to believe that language conveys only the message bound up in the words actually used, but the way you use them is informative too, as I'm sure you know.

Of course I know how to make a man smile. I'm a man. We're simple creatures to please.

Once upon another lifetime did you know an urbanite called J? To clarify, I'm not saying that you're him, but Brixton's a small place and there are only so many competent chess players.

 

[Greebo]

<snip>Of course I know how to make a man smile. I'm a man. We're simple creatures to please.

Neither that simple nor always so easily pleased.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I am (the latter, not the former!).

 

[DaveCinzano]

Once upon another lifetime did you know an urbanite called Justin?

Mentioning that name is a bannable offence!

 

[Greebo]

Mentioning that name is a bannable offence!

And you've just quoted it.

I still don't see why you would think that. He was here before 1hb was here and has a totally different posting style

In the twitter edition anyway
