Pop Brixton (formerly Grow Brixton) Pope's Road development

I have to say that the world of heavily backed international entrepreneurial wine importers in hipster container parks isn't exactly my world.

I'm sure she's distraught that she won't be attracting your custom, but she can take comfort in the fact that there are shed loads of other people, local and otherwise, who'll find her offerings interesting and worthwhile!

 

[ddraig]

and by the same token clearly doesn't need defending so strongly from those ever so concerned that they do well

I'm sure she doesn't give a fuck what I think - and that's fine by me - and I doubt if she gave much of a fuck for Brixton either until it became an area that was economically viable for her business plans, with that added sprinkle of all important 'cool'.

I made it through to the end of the video and thought it was fantastic! Truly vibrant, buzzing, and happening in an amazing space! Well done to whoever made it, you've captured the vibe perfectly!!!!

Of course not. What she needs is vilification from a handful of people on the Internet who feel they know best what's good for the community.

I wasn't aware that he'd been banned - it would have happened automatically applied after he accrued a certain number of warning messages - each one adds up points which last for a certain length of time and if the limit is reached, the ban cuts in.

The ban isn't permanent as it will be lifted once the 'points' run out. It may be that the system is making the default ban too long or needs looking at. Certainly the message shouldn't say permaban because it's not. I'll ask Lazy Llama to take a look to see if we can tweak this.

two interesting dissident posters have been vaped in a couple of pages and it's all down to a computer and how its programmed?

I, for one, salute <etc>

i know you are here late and enjoying the dig bandwagon but as has been established the views of a handful of people on the internet is not going to make any difference to their success so why are you and others so bothered about countering these opinions? :Confused:

Well you know, these are discussion boards where there are inevitably multiple opinions. I'm sorry that mine and others here differs from yours and those that you seek to ingratiate yourself with, but that's just the way it goes.

If you want a circle jerk, set up a private conversation and only invite people who'll agree with you.

you and others are the ones having a go at a few for sharing an opinion but that doesn't count as part of the discussion?
why not just continue to be smug and know these people will succeed whatever due to their money and connections

Well of course there's no guarantee that the business will succeed regardless of her connections or what you perceive her financial standing to be. She's managed to get a bunch of people to crowd fund an average of £500 each and bunged in some of her savings. Not beyond the ability of many others with a sound idea, and a bit of drive. It's hardly Falcon Crest.

You'd like to see her fail wouldn't you?

Be honest.

 

[ddraig]

no i don't give a shit either way to be totally honest
just find it funny that people feel they need to defend such people
it's quite transparent really

wankers who will personally benefit and profit from more wankers around them support wankers shocker!

What do you mean by "such people"?

 

[ddraig]

people who crowd fund for a profit making business

So does this mean that you've decided that she's a wanker, as are her customers?

 

[ddraig]

wanker

 

[ddraig]

for balance i disagree with a local vegan place crowdfunding to open their shop too!

 

[Spymaster]

Ahh, now where getting to the real stuff!

It IS indeed the type of business that you disapprove of.

What kind of funding model would meet with your approval then, ddraig?

Oh I think you're a dick as you well know. I've told you so many times over so many years that I didn't think I needed to do that here.

Either that or they were warned several times about what they were posting, but continued to break the rules until the ban kicked in. Feel free to take this to the feedback forum if you wish to pursue this matter with the mods, but it is off topic for this thread.

Time to stop the personal abuse or a ban will follow. Same applies to everyone else too.

Let's keep this thread on topic, eh?

And why are you signing off your posts as 'wanker'?

I agree, but that's pretty stupid, even for you!

 

[299 old timer]

Genuine laugh out loud moment. You've posted endless drivel on the subject but you don't give a shit. Fair enough. How about going down there and reporting back?
