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

[equationgirl]

But you haven’t asked any sensible ones.

You're the only person who thinks the questions aren't sensible.

Are you saying 'what's your actual opinion?' is not a sensible question? Because you've not answered that and many more on this thread.

 

[Spymaster]

But that reply isn't funny?

No, that one was informative. I like to mix them up a bit.

Not funny either?
You losing it?

I fear Spymaster is unwell, the sexut insult has not been forthcoming.

Sadness

Not sure what you’re on about here, Eggy.

Flattered that you had me on your mind enough to tag me when I was tucked up in bed after 1am this morning though!

I really think you should get your memory problems checked by a medical professional. They appear to be quite serious.

Still no idea what you're frothing on about but don't you have some sort of silly rule about ableist insults?

The mask slips!

I've just been alerted via another thread to another brewery inspired by Brewdog - again using rebel language to sell its stuff.

It's appropriating imagery from the anarchist scene, rather than the punk scene - if there's a significant difference.

ABOUT US -

All you need to know about our brewery; from launching in 2012, to our Newcastle move in 2018, and what the future holds!

Lots to discuss there but I'll leave that for Monday I think.

What sort of sex pestery and bullying has their CEO opted for? Understand it's de rigeur.

That you think a mild comment about your memory is an insult says more about you than it does me.

After all, surely you can't have forgotten your appalling behaviour on this thread - that you never apologised for by the way?

And 'frothing'?? Whatever are you blathering on about now? Do explain.

 

[Spymaster]

It says everything about you, Eggy, you old fraud. Here you are, the self-appointed headmistress and U75 monitor of PC language, happy to take others to task for using terms like moron, on the basis that it’s disableist (yes, really), honking on that someone else should seek medical attention, presumably neurological, for memory loss.

You’re a card.

Again, cheers for all the attention. I make that 9 times you’ve tagged or quoted me in the last 48 hours.

 

[equationgirl]

I think it has been others that named me the pencil monitor of U75, yourself among them.

You can dish it out but you cannot take the slightest bit of mockery in return, Spy.

This thread is informative, revealing, and quite tragic all at once

Stop this silliness now, Eggy. I’m trying to watch the cricket! I’m happy to indulge this infatuation of yours later.

And funny. Don't forget funny.

 

[brogdale]

Yeah, all that appalling treatment of workers by the sex pesty malevolent narcissist CEO...warra giggle!

 

[Spymaster]

Funny, informative, and not in the least trite!

I'm in awe of your ability to blend the charm of Joseph Goebbels, with the wit of a cactus, Broggers.

And the bullying of posters who didn't defend the 'brilliant marketing strategy' or the CEO's tactics. Hilarious.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Bullying?

 

[krtek a houby]

There's certainly gaslighting going on.

It's certainly revealing to see that some posters on this thread think that their contributions are amusing to anyone beyond themselves.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

I haven't seen any bullying.

Plenty of gaslighting. Shameful stuff, really.

Is that the same as bullying?

It can have the same emotional impact as bullying. Surprised you didn't know this.

I don't really understand gaslighting. The definition seems to be 'making someone doubt their own sanity'. Has that happened on this thread?

It's a form of bullying, yes.

One could rephrase that to 'trying to convince someone that something they know to be true, isn't' - basically it's trying to exploit or twist someone's belief in something.

There's also been a lot of straight up denial and 'sweeping anything inconvenient under the rug', traits that are often seen in narcissistic people, especially in family abuse situations, to name but two traits.

Is that gaslighting?

Or just disagreeing?

No, because disagreeing accepts that there are two opposing viewpoints.

Gaslighting involves manipulation of someone.
