so I could well now be a White Anglo Saxon Protestant, Racist, Homophobe, Troll, know nothing about Telecoms & Technology, and Off My Head. (or was that originally supposed to be Off With His Head :confused: )

God, I must get myself a business card with all that on, will have to add Bottles of Wine finished and Virgins Fixed.

Do they do a single Pointy Finger for all that lot or do I have to have one for each
:ohmy:

but at least I don't post about the Ukraine in a Gibraltar thread
:rofl:

The words 'trolling' and 'trolls' are much overused.

'Trolling' is specifically when a poster makes a deliberately divisive, controversial or contentious comment with the sole purpose of stirring or causing upset and the poster who makes it is obviously a 'troll'. Other forms of bullying, arguing swearing, shouting or being stupid or ignorant are not trolling.

So in answer to your question, no - you are not a troll. I may disagree with some (by no means all:)) of your posts but I acknowledge that they are sincerely made and not just to be disruptive.

No but you do post such statements as like this to a female poster

'oh yes, its a nice place for you to spread your "horror" at the intolerance on '
BES, which we all hope your husband never sees as he would be disgusted.'

Which both the the poster in question and myself have both asked you what you meant by this.

So would you care to explain why her husband should be disgusted by her posts?

:frown:

I am not sure who you are referring to. "Gone native" you are contradicting yourself!! Foreigners must do it in UK, but Brits mustn't do it:lol:

I don't think anyone should ask anyone to give over their country, beliefs and ( generally acceptable) way of life for any others.
I presume in Spain you keep to your beliefs and usual way of life?
Does that mean you cannot accept differences (or even appreciate them??)

I for one respect your knowledge of Spain and would not interfere.
Perhaps you could accept that others knowledge of the topics discussed on this part of the forum, might on occasion be more than some others posters.

Don't worry I have had worse since:) "Turd on the living room carpet of my relatives" "any one with any intelligence would know this"!!!!

Thing is, ---in relatives part of their country they don't generally have carpets too hot:lol:

Seriously, my late father in law would curl up laughing at that, but my late mother in law would cry.

They are facing problems with the authorites but their husbands fathers seem to be supporting them.
Change can happen !!!

Why would you tell me to go back under the covers?

I have not been under any covers, I am not posting as much as you as i actually have a life.

I notice that you put in a full days shift yesterday, 8.39 am to after 9pm with a couple of hours off for a siesta.

Is life so boring in Portugal, is the weather so crap in Portugal that you cant find better things to do.

and don't try to make out that i live in fear and cannot cope with the world, because that is rubbish.

There may be some snivelling, hand wringing specimens on here , but don't mistake me for one of them.

I know it can't possibly be true but I get the impression that some maladjusted people are scouring this particular thread to pounce on some poor poster who has made come innocent remark these monster trawlers don't understand.

We are surely not discussing a topic in a way to appease some weirdos' sense of the ridiculous?

We're talking about British standards here, not those of some backward natives in the depths of some third world country.

Can we PLEASE get off the subject of Trolls. Just because one has a differing opinion it does not necessarily mean they are a troll.


If you can't do that then we might as well rename the flipping thread to "What is a troll, definitions on a postcard please?" ;)

Remember folks, this is the PdT so discussions do get heated, but that doesn't mean we are going to allow the continuation of name calling, and picking on other members, OR trolling. :p

Indeed, and we all know who the main culprit is, anyone that says anything that he disagrees with, says anything against Muslims, is a troll.

Sharia, is just a way to say carp on women from a great height.

There should be no need to be discussing things like that in the UK, as it over rides the equalities act.

If that is the rule people want to live by there are plenty of countries in the world where it is the norm.

Let them live there.

Although your 'clever' attempt to show your superiority on the Ukraine thread did backfire, and other less gracious might say that it showed you up in rather a stupid light.

When people post something it's usually followed by someone else posting something else. This is called a discussion. This is how a discussion board works. Now considering I made a point in that other thread which is a fact and all people chose to reply was that humans also kill each other.... Not the point I was making, I fail to see what the hell you are on about sweetie.... But then I fail to see what you are on about most of the time.

Told you they wouldn't get it.

However much you or I may disapprove of some attitudes of non-equality, all people in UK can make a will however they wish.
Can leave it all to the local 'dogs home' if they want and many do!!

We have always had Beth din courts but most Jewish people ignore them.

they are the ones who keep hitting the WASP racist misogynist's like me with the pointy finger because I won't integrate with the incomers - the same incomers that won't integrate with me

Who has EVER said they can't be racist? It's not their views we are challenging, it's yours. If they wish to come on here and post a thread about the scumbag Brits abroad then I'm sure the discussion will take off in no time.... But they don't.... You are.... That's why we are talking to you and the others,about your views. Stop putting words in peoples mouths, it only works on the less intelligent posters....

I know you are upset because you little ploy on the Ukraine thread did not work out, nobody took the bait.

People are wise to you, and instead of trying to get the post back to 'isms' all the time, just be a bit more patient.

there will always be examples of the actions of certain groups that I for one will find inexcusable, and I will comment on it.


Then you will have carte Blanche to get on your high horse, outrage bus or whatever other vehicle or platform you wish, and try to verbally rip me and my peabrain to shreds.

You just need to be patient, this forum will run and run, you will have loads if opportunities to show how fairminded and tolerant you are.

So why not wait and let the nature of BE take it's course, without backing people into a corner with your 'Muslims smell and nhs doctors make bombs' type posts, that you often use to get a reaction.

This is not about the "laws of the land".
This is about giving solicitors instructions how to draw up a will according to Sharia law for those that want to adhere to it when they make a will.

Is that your way of saying that you will take the advice I gave, and possibly be patient, not try to show your 'tolerance' at every occasion, ie wait for the opportunity to present itself, and not dreaming up 'ism' threads just for the fallout.

sometimes it is better to go down the quality not quantity route.

"Ism" threads? You're even more delusional than I thought! I've not started a thread since November and the last "ism" thread I started was back in 2012 and it was, as is always the case with me you delusional pair, a pisstake. Astonishing!
