I don't follow your argument at all here, it just reads like a

Careful! Use of 'non-sequitur' caused a flame war here about a decade


ago - at a time when all was sweetness and light in this group according


to those now looking backwards through high-strength rose-tinted


glasses. ;-)






AIUI things were better when we had very knowledgeable, highly respected

people Philip Eden and Will Hand posting (correct me if I am wrong). The

feeling I am getting from what people have posted on this group is that

things like trolling, personal attacks and petty bickering have all but

destroyed the group, hence I find it hard to understand an "anything

goes" philosophy when certain behaviour is deemed to be detrimental to

the group as a whole. Why not speak out at behaviour that is destructive?



I guess it comes down to whether you think the rights of the individual

trump the rights of the community as a whole, or vice versa.


The truth is Philip Eden left a very long time ago and Will far more recently and Will left because of Dawlish pure and simple. Some hint Philip left because of me but I wouldn't flatter myself so to believe that a great knowledgeable forecaster like Philip would go because of of some dunce like me. Come on I never had much to do with Philip, only when he emailed me a couple of time.

ZZebowa is








the perpetrator








How so? I only asked if he still hung out here, since he seems to have




moved to alt.gw where he, like a seagull, flaps his arms, squauks a




lot, and ****s all over the place.








If you want to look for a perpetrator just open up one of GArveys posts




and see the way he talks to people.








No one forces you to read his posts.








He can talk to people how he likes, unless he resorts to libellous




comments which are unlawful.








If you don't like how he talks to you, you have two choices. Either you




argue your point of view as best as you can, or you keep quiet.








What you do not do, is trawl around other newsgroups for volunteers to




back up your cause against him. Like it or not - that is how your




bullying starts.








"your bullying".



My god you have to be a sock puppet there is no other rationale


He spelt the name wrong, it should be yttawt.

You would. He has the same far right-wing and horribly xenophobic views as you do and you find a soul-mate in him.

Some are more equal than others in our country. The

minorities, are given preferential treatment, women in favour of men,

non whites in favour of whites, gays in favour of straights.


The term “Person of colour”, offends me, does this mean that Caucasians

don’t have a colour to their skin and so are invisible?


Did he really say this??

The tripe that has been written by this core of discriminatory, far-right-wingers on this thread is quite incredible. It's when people like this are challenged that they detest the challenger and will do and say, *anything* to try to discredit the challenger and pull others round to their cause. It starts with their views on climate change, but scratch the surface and you find this kind of foulness.

However, have a single one of them ever noticed that it simply doesn't work (I'm still here. still happily posting and still enjoying posting) and you would be far better off just defending your views (if you can - and therein lies a real difficulty for them and the core of their problems) or ignoring the people you don't like?

People leave groups for all sorts of reasons, as was said on a very sensible thread a while ago and newsgroups are slowly dying. Good for the people leaving; I hope they enjoy their weather elsewhere in moderated groups, or talking on their own blogs, but have you noticed that more have stayed? Good for them if they come back too; anyone is welcome, even stalkers and yes; I do attract them. More fool the idiots (and yes, there are a few) for trying to use them for their purposes.

Fancy this lot trying to say that they are "bullied" by one person. shakes head and laughs

So to suggest that you have done something so wrong and shameful


is ludicrous.








The surveillance state is getting worse Larry. We’re sleep walking


into




a police state. I remember in March 2010 I went to the city park.


I was




taking photos of daffs. All of a sudden I had eight police


officers




around me, being intimidating, saying that somebody had said I was




taking photos of children. I showed them my photos and the police


left.




There was no apology off them for intimidating me. I thank God


that




it wasn’t a film camera otherwise I would have probably been


arrested as




suspected paedo, until the film was developed. The suspiciousness


the




average Brit is filled with these days, twists us in to bitter,




frightened people.












What gets me is the most indignant about this are the ones who


have remained silent as he bullied people. Does he and others


really believe that as Dawlish has let us know where he's lived


for sometime that anyone with a grudge against him really


couldn't get the electoral list of from his website.




What's that old saying about living in a greenhouse.








Joe




My view is simple now, it took years of confusion scratches my head


and searching my soul, but I truly believe our society and attitudes


are increasingly that of social Marxism which is in government, local


government, the NHS, education and all other organisations that feed


from the tax payers trough.




After decades of post war creeping social Marxism we now life in a


world where you can literally totally provably murder someone and


walk free within 12 years or if a usual proved manslaughter with the


help of a now totally corrupt judiciary walk free within years.






Larry, the general public is being pressured from two sides. Yes, there

is the communist with their PC rubbish. Also, there are the greedy

lawyers, with their litigation frenzy which as taken a stranglehold of

our society. I think the "storm" tonight will probably just be a rather

bad autumn storm with 60mph gusts along the south coast, elsewhere over

England 40mph winds.



Public organisations and companies are so afraid of being sued. They

always play it extra cautious, in the case of the MO, always reporting

the worst case scenario.





The police themselves now rarely fight crime anymore and the only


thing they are good for is attacking and penalising the honest


citizen for silly misdemeanours like being late with the tax disc, or


not wearing a seat belt, drifting in a bus lane. Several weeks ago


on a Friday afternoon my next door neighbour call at my door to tell


me the neighbour opposite burglar alarm had been ringing on and off


all afternoon. For some reason he wanted me to call the police which


I did. The call centre staff on the phone were polite enough but told


me that unless I could see signs of disturbance they wouldn't come


out and that was it.






Nope the police nowadays like many organisations are filled with


people with political agendas and outlooks and they actually see the


working citizen as more of a target and enemy than they do criminals


, that would explain why you only rarely see them patrolling the


streets and when either walking or in the cars between blue flashing


lights busy going no where see thug types with illegal fighting dogs


yet ignore them.




The police are so PC corrupt now and infiltrated that when several


years ago they were doing a knife searching exercise on Rye Lane


station Peckham they stopped my work colleague a woman in her fifties


and searched her for a knife!!! as they were doing this a load of the


usual suspects went to get of the train and then decided to stay on.


Not long after that I went with my daughter to see Leonard Cohen at


the O2 and that night the bulk of the fifty upwards grey bald


guardian reading audience were scanned for weapons.








My local bobby is a reasonable chap, what the high echelons of my local

police force are like I wouldn't like to think.



The next night the Urban music awards were held and no scanning took


place for fear of offending people, that night there were fights,


three stabbings and a shot was heard before the enterprise was


abandoned,.

Back to your experience: the police now seem more like an occupying


army then the first people you would trust and sek help from-if you


can fid them that his.




Of course one way to get a fantastic rapid response is to say a hate


crime had been committed and they'll soon be there then

This is a problem that used to be faced only by the letters editors of newspapers and magazines. Every day they would weed out the nutters, the pathological,and the green ink brigade, and tidy up those letters with bad punctuation and spelling, leaving us with a sanitised view of reality.
They needed the carapace of a tortoise. Now we are all in the same boat.
I for one, a bloke of fairly moderate views-although I am an unreformed Thatcherite!- was pretty shocked initially at the bile and spleen hurled at me for my thoughts on, e.g., nuclear power, Arthur Scargill, etc, but now realise that the way to deal with it is to realise that inoffensive folk- as 90% of us are on this site and many others-hold the moral high ground, and that offensive stuff is recognisable almost immediately.
Don't read further than the first sentence, and never, ever, dignify them with a reply.
