Shouldn't This Peaceful Silent March Be Allowed To Take Place Without Violent Opposition?

I was so excited, I miss-typed your name - sorry!

[agchristie]

Andy, quite a count I agree. There was one news item I recall last year that hit over 700 posts. Posted by joggerjayne if I recall correctly.

[Mamyalynne]

Plenty long threads around , not all as interesting as this one of course.


One simmering away at over 10,500 as we speak.

Yes . I recall that OP and I expect a-h might as well. I got suspended I seem to recall.

[agchristie]

Oh dear retrocop. Well, you've played your part in this thread which has been a humdinger!

(I'm hoping that SP has a spare hotdog for me, you never know)

Because sp and I approach debate from more or less the same perspective, and we largely agree on most things, I feel I can speak for him, as well as myself, when I say that I do not believe either of us to be 'passive aggressive'.

It is never my intention, nor I believe sp's, to deliberately provoke anyone into saying something that gets them suspended. So, hopefully we are clear moving forward.


Funny that andy because when I accused sp of being passive aggressive all this .............

You seem fraught.

Perhaps it's upsetting you,

It's not something that you should tear yourself up about.

I'm now getting a bit worried for you.

You seem so very upset about this, and I don't won't to add to your stress.

But PLEASE...don't get upset.


....... nonsense stopped ... funny that?

[agchristie]

That's the thing about threads as long as this. There's a danger one's inconsistencies can be exposed!

[retrocop]

ag
Yes and their consistentcy as demonstrated on page 11. :-)

-Talbot-

You still seem upset.

Let it go fella.

I've had plenty of far nastier comments from one of AB's 'educationally challenged' contributors...I just laugh it off.

You wrote:

And did you expect any different, have you not heard of selective publishing.

I guarantee to you, if Pegida, the EDL and/or the BNP marched and were joined by large groups of people not traditionally associated with those groups, the picture editors of online news sources would fall over themselves to publish.

Unfortunately, it's difficult for non-whites to join up with Pegida marchers when they carry flags like this around:

Seriously...why would the organisers let them do that?

It really doesn't do any good for their image, right?

[sp1814]

Some more Pegida marchers:

I don't get upset. Be honest now, what do you think you were up to posting those comments in close proximity?

These young men appear to be singing the national anthem:

Or perhaps the new single by Little Mix.

Not sure.

This marcher is playing the traditional Pegida game of 'Who Can Catch The Ping Pong Ball In the Mouth':

Which ones? The ones where I said that you were getting upset?

Or the 'fraught' comment?

I genuinely thought that you were getting upset, because I bested you on the point about my post (EDL/BNP antisemitism).

It seemed that you were wrapping yourself up in knots trying to win an unwindable argument.

I tried to leave it, offering a compromise - but you're still obsessing over it.

Even when you think you are justified in your position (and in this case, you're really not), sometimes it's best to just shrug and walk away.

This is what I'm doing with Svejk and his claim about my phantom post.

...aww...except, I'm not.

Svejk...where are you?

Shockingly, Pegida have managed to recruit Annie Lennox to their cause:

Very disappointed Annie.

This is indeed a long thread and i'm not going to read each post .

However looking at a few pages -

a. A lot are off topic

b. Lot of opinions repeated ( just like that thread entitled ' see how far this goes ' or something like that )

So what's the point of keeping threads like this going ?

[-Talbot-]

You appear to be having a melt down, sp ... I'll leave you to it!

[agchristie]

Sp - lots of pictures I see but you seem to have forgotten that the march at the weekend was, as the OP and TR promised, a silent march. No singing of anthems, no 'catching ping pong balls', snarling at police etc.

Let's see what happens in April shall we?

[sp1814]

You betcha!

See if we can top this thread in post counts then!
