My wife does.
Phil, don't fucking talk to me.That's not what she tells me.
Sorry, I obviously didn't explain that very well. I'm the one who's supposed to make legal threats.
Twitter must have a very short attention span, I probably only done about 20 tweets, most of them about farting
In all seriousness though, welcome - my initial comments were a (probably not very funny) reference to what happened when another twitter commentator turned up. (I assume you're a member of the intersectional twitter milieu anyway. I might be wrong though because, and please don't take this the wrong way, I've never heard of you before). Please do try and see past the abraisive posting style some of us have - we are a bit set in our ways when it comes to that - but if you stick around and engage with us you might like it, and come to realise that although most of us don't have much time for twittersectionalism that doesn't mean we're not strongly committed to ending the oppression that it attempts to deal with. Who knows? We might all even learn something. I've only read your first few posts plus the reply to me so it might have gone downhill since but you already appear to be making a better effort at actually talking to us than certain other commentators have when they've turned up.
Dangerous Minds. Michelle Pfiefer. Notable only for the use of Coolio's cover of stevie wonders 'past time paradise' (reworked as gangsters paradise)
any more for any more?
Talk to the posters. This hiding is beyond silly.*talk to the hand*
I came, I saw, I put my head in my hands and cried.
Well it's wrong on their part to be so hostile, but just like with anyone I don't think people on here engage very well
It doesn't benefit anyone to go on like this, of course these people have wrongheaded ideas but it's not really helping to win forum arguments with them
That, in fairness, would be AWESOMEawe, that;'s really sad. were you hoping we'd all see the error of our various ways and elect you leader of the village and we all got together and put on a musical?
Phil, don't fucking talk to me.
*talk to the hand*
frogwoman is a Jewish lass
That, in fairness, would be AWESOME
I'm not up for simply releasing the hounds on them, either. By all means let's go for decent debate. But I've asked this one several times, politely, to back up her suggestion that skin colour and veracity are linked and have yet to be answered. That's hardly meaningful engagement, is it?
I deserve better than this.

I've felled a few trees in my time tho. And I desire a heart.I'm not actually a farmer, just because i'm from somerset.
it can and does happen on these boards...but this one had the odds stacked against it from the offa decent discussion on a political BBS is more optimistic than Martin Luther Kings most optimistic dreams

My housemate is Bangladeshi, my other housemate is from Cumbria. We all live in the same house that's falling apart, all work similar hours, we shop at the same shops and sometimes eat the same food.
I don't know what the others would say but in terms of whose experience is closer to mine out of my housemates and say David Aaronovitch I think I would say that my housemates experience are closer. Someone like that may have experienced racism but to some extent their class position is such,that it doesn't matter any more. If I have a racist boss I may well have to put up with it until I get another job (which may be never) if David aaronovitch has a racist boss he can write about it in the guardian, its not exactly rocket science is it?
But it's not going to happen on a forum. This is a thread set up to attack people like her, I was going to say it's confusing why she showed up but then I showed up and it's not even about me
You could email her or something, a decent discussion on a political BBS is more optimistic than Martin Luther Kings most optimistic dreams
