BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[brogdale]

For sure it's staying yes I'm happy to profit from the company's activities. And owning shares is about as far as anyone on this thread has gone in active involvement with the company. At least, as far as anyone has owned up to.

It's a bit silly to say it amounts to "defending" the activities and behaviour of James Watt though.

Various posters have defended their own choices. No-one that I remember has tried to defend James Watt.

Nah, that's bollux; a number have praised their marketing and branding in terms.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

That's all creeping in here too. No breaks. Hours when they please. No talking.

Enjoy your Bank Holiday

Again, silly to claim that this amounts to defending James Watt.

 

[Spymaster]

Possibly not all that directly

But 'Whataboutery-ing' about him, Brewdog, their practices, etc., and out of that, 'comparing' BD with other supposedly 'about as bad' companies, has what some on this mega-thread have definitely been doing.

Just saying. IMO, etc.

Never use the term "whataboutery", Will.

It marks you out as an unprincipled charlatan of the highest order, hiding behind childish terms when unable to justify a position. .

As co-founder, owner and CEO it clearly does.

 

[teuchter]

As co-founder, owner and CEO it clearly does.

No it doesn't.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

As co-founder, owner and CEO it clearly does.

It really doesn't, you know. You can admire a company's marketing and branding strategy, and still disapprove of individuals.

It really does defend Watt as co-founder, owner and CEO of the business. Think about it.

Don't be daft.

 

[teuchter]

Anyone who says publicly they find this visually impressive is a defender of totalitarianism.

 

[Spymaster]

It really does defend Watt as co-founder, owner and CEO of the business. Think about it.

Don't be a tit, Broggers.

 

[brogdale]

Trollies rolling in with incisive points of argument including "silly", "daft" and "tit".
So tough to argue with.

Ah, c'mon. What pert of this current non-argument of yours isn't tittish?

 

[brogdale]

Ah, c'mon. What pert of this current non-argument of yours isn't tittish?

You're the master; do tell.

 

[Spymaster]

You're the master; do tell.

None of it! You’re being absurd.

You know that though

 

[brogdale]

None of it! You’re being absurd.

You know that though

Yep, all that absurdity about Watt being the co-founder, owner and CEO of the business that is the subject of the thread.

You’re getting muddled up again. Try to deal with one thing at a time.

But you do it all the time, Spy! So why is it ok for you to do it, if you're saying William of Walworth can't?

 

[equationgirl]

It really doesn't, you know. You can admire a company's marketing and branding strategy, and still disapprove of individuals.

Really? Misogyny as a branding strategy was discussed at length some pages back. It comes from the top.

 

[Spymaster]

But you do it all the time, Spy! So why is it ok for you to do it, if you're saying William of Walworth can't?

Ahhhh, there you are. Was wondering where you’d got to.

Had a good day?

 

[Spymaster]

What nonsense. You clearly don’t know how corporate branding and marketing works.

 

[brogdale]

He'll call you a tit next.

 

[equationgirl]

He'll call you a tit next.

I would expect nothing less than to be called silly plus some kind of sexist insult, which is then denied to be sexist.

 

[equationgirl]

What nonsense. You clearly don’t know how corporate branding and marketing works.

Go back and read the thread, Spymaster. You have written most of the nonsense on it.

 

[Spymaster]

He'll call you a tit next.

Not unless she makes the same argument you’ve been ballsing-up all day!

 

[equationgirl]

It unless she makes the same argument you’ve been ballsing-up all day!

At least he makes arguments, Spy. You just nitpick and whine and evadeany questions put to you.

 

[brogdale]

Not unless she makes the same argument you’ve been ballsing-up all day!

But that reply isn't funny?

 

[Spymaster]

At least he makes arguments, Spy. You just nitpick and whine and evadeany questions put to you.

I’m happy to answer sensible question.

Are you going to answer my question?

 

[equationgirl]

I’m happy to answer sensible question.

Are you going to answer my question?

Don't be silly, you've not answered any one of mine on this thread.

 

[Spymaster]

Don't be silly, you've not answered any one of mine on this thread.

But you haven’t asked any sensible ones.
