Charities: Govt rhetoric on welfare leading to inciting attacks on disabled people..

c) he regularly trailed his coat to get a reaction.

so what if he did? it opened up debate and challenged opinions. isn't that the point of this place? omni-thought achieves nothing.

joke of a decision. he took an unpopular stance, defended it (generally pretty well impo), and got banned off the back of it. pathetic.

You're a bit late to the party, mate.

no, that ins't the point of this place at all. sometimes the point of this place is for people to have a safe space where victims of abuse aren't 'challenged', cause life is challenging enough without some cunt accusing them of lying when they share their expereinces.


lletsa came into the thread, not to debate, but to stir up shit. at the expense of others, for his own entertainment. and if you want to defend him doign that, at the expense of taking away a safe space where victims of abuse can gain some comfort from sharing expereince, then you're a cunt as well.

This isn't about 'omni-thought'. Lletsa was deliberately out to cause pain for his own entertainment, on a serious thread. He deserved the ban for this and other times he did the same, usually at the expense of posters who are vulnerable.

If you think he was right to do that, then you're as much as a shit as he is.

And as VP says, bit late to the party...why are you bringing up something that is best left alone?

That is so true.

(and Bakunin) Are other places any different though? I think people are people wherever you go. I spent a lot of time in a village in Cornwall when I was growing up, and I'd wager there was at least as much meanness and downright interpersonal shittiness there as there was anywhere else.

And then I did my degree in a city where a significant minority of the population hated students - that was "interesting" too at times. If you can show me a place where everyone's nice to each other, I'd be happy to live there.

P.S. There are plenty of nice people in Plymouth - my godmother lives there for one.

I think bakunin's expereinces in plymouth were particularly bad. and he never told anyone because he was wanting to proove he could cope. rather than having to run to others for support. which made it all into a really bad combination.

I understand that. It's pretty hard to call for help anyway when you're young; there's a taboo against it amongst young people of school age in particular.

Plymouth's quite a conservative city in some ways because of the strong naval presence, and Devon as a whole is pretty conservative too. I remember watching "The Life of Brian" at a cinema in Leicester (where I was studying at the time) and then coming home to Plymouth and finding that it was banned (and also was everywhere else in Devon). I don't think the guy who imposed the ban (Councillor Ted Pinney IIRC) even saw the film.

this place, perhaps. This thread- not really. As I said before I thought a temp would have sufficed but then I'm not in charge

Often bans are not lifted if the bannee keeps re-registering.
