oh nicely done jazz, you low little fuck

Oh fuck it, I'm not taking crap from others. I've said nothing longdog hasn't been entirely and commendably open about. I'm known as a pretty damn polite poster. I don't go around attempting to cause offence, however I have to take this kind of shit all the time.

You deserve everything you get, TBH.

Compared to you I'm Ghandi.

because someone has been open and honest about something does not give you permission to either take the piss or try and prove something.

I really didn't mean to upset you at all, and I'm sorry that I have, regardless. I have edited the post in question.

What this points out, Jazzz. is that tendency amongst seekers of conspiracy to let nothing get in the way of pursuing their stary-eyed aims. You saw an opening here to peddle the whole dentists-as-mind-control evil dudes, and launched straight in, without any regard for the feelings of the person who suddenly found himself no more than a convenient example in support of your goal-driven theories.

It's the same modus operandi as employed by his fellow conspiranoids, stalking and harrassing Badger Kitten because her eye witness statements don't fit in with their assertions that 7/7 was carried out by a Jewish lizard clan, or whatever this weeks pet theory is.

Phoning her and members of her family and being abusive, disgusting stuff, all to publicise their David Icke sponsored holocaust denial bullshit.

I accept your point Tank Girl. But I wasn't taking the piss, that would just be crap. I'm sorry that that was how it was interpreted. You are right though, it was ill-judged.

However I've already apologised for causing offence and retracted the comment that caused it - we all have off-moments. Meanwhile, I get regularly accused of being mentally ill on these boards, and the reference is not intended as having anything to do with the dangers of mercury fillings but as a straight insult, and I just get on with it. I rarely have posters leaping to my defence: would make a change. And don't forget this thread is very much intended as a piss-take towards me. So you'll have to forgive me for not feeling quite so contrite as I might.

Perhaps that's because you've offended so many already with your tasteless yarns.

I think Jazz offends people by NOT THINKING about how his post will affect someone. I don't think he is TRYING to be nasty.

I'd be going with that too. Jazzz has never come accross as malicious to me. Frequently wrong yes, but i think it might be worth reconsidering his comments longdog. A poorly chosen off the cuff remark rather than a deliberate personal attack. Then again it's not really any of my buisness is it?

But the whole point of sane communication is to think about how your utterances will affect the audience.

 

[TAE]

In theory, yes.

I thought we had to stick to one kind of 'theory' in this thread

I agree. But that doesn't make it acceptable. Especially as I think the reason he inadvertently offends people in this way is because he's so focused on the Conspiracy that he manages to depersonalise anyone he's talking to.

 

[Jazzz]

ok. I've caused personal offence. I honestly didn't mean to and I've told my friends just the same as I told longdog with the aim of helping them. But it was a reckless and insensitive piece of posting and I should have known better. Also, that urban75 can be a rough playground should be neither here nor there as regards my judging of my own actions so I'm not proud of my above remarks either. Just because I get a lot of crap around here doesn't excuse anything. So, I'm sorry about this light-hearted thread going awol and my apology to longdog is unreserved. I hope we can now move on.
