Nowt to do with me really, OU, but I do think this makes it clear what c66 meant. The 'but he was right', bit is obviously about Savile being a nonce, not that he was right about there being a bachelor/nonce connection.
existentialist i think you're spot on with the children sometimes having an inbuilt radar, that certainly makes them feel creeped out by certain individuals. Even if they can't articulate why.
Being a kid in the seventies I clearly remember getting that feeling with savile and jonathan king and even stuart hall. They all demonstrated that same falseness to me...the forced jollity and the hollow laugh.They didn't ring true. In saviles case i thought he was always angry and badly masking it.
It wasn't a foolproof sense though. I thought Ken Dodd fell into the same camp, but had gary glitter posters on the wall and queued up for Rolf's autograph .
who's winding? you just typed something utterly ridiculous. If orang misunderstood you I'm sure you can explain things without being a macho penis.
Indeed. So his initial assertion was incorrect and a misrepresentation of what his dad said.
macho enough to offer someone off the internet out?
I'm not reading anything into it. I just don't like lazy assumptions being paraded about without much thought.
But it wasn't about his dad at all! It was about what c66 said about him
Do I have to quote what you said a third time?
Ok, you offered someone 'in meatspace' out then. Either way, you were asking orang for a fight.
FFS, you now know what c66 meant, what are you after? I really hope you are not playing some game of wanting him to castigate his dad's opinions so something lines up on the internet. He might have been a bit naughty with the meet up stuff, but why are you pushing this?
Neither. I was annoyed that someone had posted something that made out that Jimmy Savile was a wrong un cos he hung out with kids and was unmarried. As someone who is unmarried and works with kids, I sought to challenge this notion. Then you took it as an insult to your dad and you escalated it unreasonably.
I'm not pushing it! I'm the one who's getting someone in his face for questioning a daft comment.
Do you think c66 thinks there's a link between bachelordom and noncery? I'll assume the answer is no. Any more to be said? Yeah, okay, something was said a couple of pages ago - you and others objected - he clarified.
you didn't mention a fight. you mentioned 'discussing it in person', which is a mildly veiled way of offering someone a fight. as you know.
NO I DONT! I just think he unthinkingly posted something which perpetuated a myth about people who work with kids. It's one of those dreadful gossipy comments that need challenging.
If he was doing that he'd deserve to be challenged. Apart from the fact he was only quoting his Dad's opinion, second hand, he's clarified what he meant - he's clarified on exactly that point.
time and place though OU, when you're laying into someone's dead dad to make a point in the internet it's time to have a word with yourself IMO, especially when you carry it on after it's fucking obvious that it's a sensitive subject.
Sure, but it was unfortunate that it was said in the first place.
No one's laying into anyone's dad. I was objecting to a post not a person.
really?
