Locked Cherts “Ignore Thread”.
Cognisant that I perhaps commented on that thread indelicately, deep down, those are my feelings. I’ve had countless conversations with numerous Sotonians about how we just exercise the ignore thing at a brain level.
I never ignored anyone on the other place, and I always believed and stated that the practice of doing so was unnecessary. The one thing you can say is that it generates traffic, when some twat says they’re ignoring another twat, or another twat asks you not to quote that twat because he’s ignoring that twat. It can all fuck off, as far as I’m concerned. Or as bletch one said (and almost certainly eternally regrets due to the licence it has afforded me), debate or fuck off.
I fucking hate having to discuss this meta bollocks in the midst of much more important bollocks, for what it’s worth, here’s my view.
Cherts; please end your crusade to prove that Barry is a racist. I am fully aware of why you think he is, but calling him a racist cunt over and over again will not add any weight to your cause. I’m not blind to what’s going on. Believe me, after the infamous BAP episode, I have clearer eyes than most. He’s pitching for a reaction; you think those “home runs” you’re knocking out of the park are a good thing. They’re not. You’re over-reaching. You’re not alone.
Barry; you are protected by a basic Sotonians split of people that have met you and know you’re not an utter cunt, versus people that have just read your posts and have naturally come to that conclusion. I’m not dictating what you type, but what you type is dictating many of the attitudes you’re facing.
An entirely inglorious episode in the annals of Sotonians. It’s a pisser for me because I am genuinely trying to step back and let the community develop. If this is what steps forward, I can’t do that.
Sort it out, boys. (and no Cherts, that’s not racist, just recognition of the unwanted playground crap)
