You are making assumptions again ffs!
Can't you see that?
You assume someone else might feel belittled.
Why would they if you're not?
Geddit?!

If I said to you ‘Go f**k yourself, you prick’, you may or may not be offended by it.

But it is offensive language, regardless.

What don’t you understand?

And me saying someone else MIGHT feel belittled most certainly is not an assumption.

[tommy toes]

What are you on about now?
It's you who first mentioned the belittling word and then you go off on this wild insult as an example.
Nobody was talking about offensive language.


And you wonder why I try not to get involved anymore

[belton rover]

It wasn’t an insult, just a more extreme example to try to show you what I mean.

You appear to be saying that belittling language is not belittling language if the person it is aimed at does not feel belittled.

I am saying you are absolutely, categorically wrong.

[belton rover]

And anyway, Tommy, I really would like your views on my response to your claim that you’ve seen me give as good as I get.

I don’t deny that, but why are me and ‘mine’ the only ones to receive your moral wrath?

[tommy toes]

It is you who have decided that it is belittling language.
Nobody else.
So from yours,and nobody else's conclusion that the language is belittling, you assume that others who read it feel the same as you.
Can you now see how you are going wrong here?

[SydneyRover]

You're looking for reason where there is none Tommy

Please show me where I assumed that?

I think our conversation today just about covers it Belton.

Tommy. You’ve made quite an accusation. I’m not aware that I have made any such assumption, so I ask again, please show my where I have done that to allow me to reflect upon my poor choice of words.

And you’re still avoiding my ‘give as good as I get’ question.

I don't have to answer all your requests by the way.
EDIT

But you're doing it now aren't you.

I'm quite happy for you to have the last word if that makes you feel that you've won.
So feel free.

Thanks. It was a request, by the way, not a demand.

I can only assume you mean the bit where I wrote ‘someone else might feel belittled by his belittling language’ - please correct me if I’m wrong (another request, not a demand).

But if it is that bit, then how can you possibly read into it that I assume someone else will feel belittled?
It means it may happen, it may not. It could happen. It’s a possibility. Perhaps.

Absolutely no assumption that it will.

[belton rover]

Tommy, respectfully, you are making less and less sense.

[SydneyRover]

belton, If you remember quite a ways back I said you were bb and demanded my £5, can I have it please?

[tommy toes]

That's it I'm done.
More fool me for being sucked in by this WUM all afternoon

Won't happen again.

[ravenrover]

RR.  Who is to blame for what?

Crikey BB didn't think I'd have to qualify that, you said in your post the BST blames the Govt for every predicament throughout this pandemic so I am asking you if not The Govt then who is to blame? Clear?

[belton rover]

That's it I'm done.

I’m really sorry about that, Tommy. Genuinely.

It’s really frustrating that you would rather disappear again than explain to me why you think like you do.

You accuse me of something. I query that, and you get all arsey.

And refuse to explain that if I give as good as I get, why do you not give the other person this hassle. You know, the one who you have little reason to disagree with.

Oh…hang on…

[belton rover]

belton, If you remember quite a ways back I said you were bb and demanded my £5, can I have it please?

Sydney. What on earth are you going to do with £5? It’s only half the amount it cost you to get over there.

[belton rover]

That's it I'm done.

Tommy. You have spent hours barraging me with unfounded accusations, refused to engage in actual discussion, made blasé comments and refused to develop when asked. Then given a dying swan speech!

Who’s the WUM?

This is exactly why people post less and less, patronising posts like this, don’t bother giving me the hard done to speech, I won’t be responding

[belton rover]

If you mean me Andy, I’m just responding to others. I tried ignoring our Sydney but he was quite persistent.

You are right though. Time for a break. This defence of myself is taking up far too much of my time.

[Bentley Bullet]

Yes, BST does blame the government for every predicament throughout this pandemic. He's wrong, of course. Had he offered his pandemic expertise to the government instead of hiding away his rants on a third division off-topic football forum, he might have gotten his way and pleased the other half of the population who wanted restrictions, at the expense of the half that didn't. so he would still have been to blame according to half the country.

Belton
Do you enjoy alienating people?
You are one nasty piece of work and I will not be responding to any of your posts again.

Hard done to speech:

I have been wound up by Tommy today. Why is OK one way but not the other?

Again, please explain how. I have been very respectful to you, but you eventually ground me down.

[belton rover]

See what you’ve done, Billy?

Infamy. Infamy. They’ve all got it in for me.

Well, not everyone, but you know who I mean.

[BillyStubbsTears]

So I'm guessing Belton's been on another one if his rants.

Let me have a wild guess.

He kicked off this entire exchange a few days ago with his accusation of me lying about a post I made. But that's been categorically demonstrated to be a false accusation.

I assume in all his posts today, he's not once done the adult thing: held his hand up and apologised?

[Bentley Bullet]

BST, why is it only people who oppose your views that rant? Don't you rant? Didn't TommyToes Rant in his posts today?

Ah Billy, right on cue. Pretending to not know what’s going off but commenting anyway. And getting it all wrong so the pretence seems real.
Your lord has arrived. Rejoice!

BB.

I don't mind people giving me considered reasons why they disagree with me.

Belton didn't do that. He wrongly accused me of lying. .

I assume you can see the difference?
