On a more serious note, a small bunch of folk with no expertise vying with each other to get the most greenies whilst denigrating public health professionals and offering ‘strategies’ without any accountability for the single biggest crisis in my lifetime is certainly a contender with the heads gone thread for heads gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having creepy... I'd also like to point out I've never posted content bigoted or had the mods remove posts of mine for being antisemitic/racist/homophobic/bigoted unlike others on here that have tried to call me a bigot, yourself included in that list. Also please expand on what you think you "bring to" pie and bovril.com? Edited May 31, 2021 by Stormzy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Just going to drop this receipt in here incase anyone wasn't aware. On 11/04/2021 at 14:04, Sweet Pete said: @GordonS "It's a term Catholics use". I've never heard a single Catholic say it. I've only ever heard it used by non-Catholics in a derogatory manner towards Catholics. As for it being insensitive or offensive for several people to have pulled you up for using such derogatory language, well that's just about the stupidest doubling down bullshit I've ever seen. You also accuse others of pretending to be stupid, when that is literally the tactic you're using, and forewarn others against accusations of defending yourself by having Catholic friends. You're describing your own actions. Incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a worse attempt at defence or justification. This isn't playground infant behaviour no matter how desperately you try and deflect it as such. You've been pulled up for saying something derogatory and you're not mature enough to take your medicine like an adult and move on. That's what's playground here. Fascinating isn't it that someone can accuse me of bigotry purely because I'm a Rangers fan when he shamefully inbetween hall monitoring sessions actually posts bigoted anti catholic language, something I've never done. Always those that shout the loudest eh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always those that shout the loudest eh. He’s a pompous know-it-all who first came to my attention desperate for the approval of his Linlithgow peers. He’s (allegedly) been a choirboy, ticked everything else off on the catholic-upbringing checklist and of course some of his best friends are catholics; So therefore it’s perfectly acceptable in his mind to continue using the sort of backwards phrases and terminology that allow sectarianism to thrive and bigotry to be an everyday occurrence. An absolute bore as well. Might need to make him my first poster on ignore. Edited May 31, 2021 by 8MileBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he really have been oblivious to how controversial that phrase can be after the extent to which Celtic supporters collectively flipped their lid online when it appeared in the Sunday Herald one time and forced a full-page apology? http://www.allmediascotland.com/press-news/15199/sunday-herald-issues-apology/ Definitely stretched credulity close to breaking point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be a fud. I literally know a priest in Lanarkshire that uses that word about some of his own parishioners. He's the priest that married my wife and I. Pretending to find a very boring and normal upbringing "stretching credulity" is weird. I grew up Catholic, I lost my belief in God in my late teens like many/most do, I was a conflicted Celtic fan until I moved to Linlithgow over 20 years ago and found a club I could follow that wasn't a constant embarrassment, that's it. Woo, what an exciting tale. I said the usual suspects would choose to be bellends about this, and I haven't been disappointed. 8Mile has had a hard-on for me ever since I started posting on this site, I don't profess to know why, I don't think I've ever even argued with him but it certainly comes across as misplaced anger for some shortcomings in his life. As you quoted him I can see what he said - so in response, I was an altar boy at St Gabriel's on Merrylee Road in the 1980s, never a choirboy, and in my experience the only people who call anyone a know-it-all are people who don't know anything. The one thing he got right is that I'm pompous. I stopped caring about that a long time ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're allowed to post bigoted language because you were mates with a priest where as you know nothing about my background, I've never posted anything bigoted yet you run around the forum calling me a bigot, pleading with people not to interact with me... This is brilliant. Here we have it in 4k, he thinks sectarian language is okay when he uses it but also thinks that I'm a bigot without any reason even though I don't use such language. What a sad and pathetic thing to do by a pitiful, spineless mollusc of a man. Edited June 1, 2021 by Stormzy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No policing on my behalf here. Gordon can refer to himself however he sees fit but I find it strange as an atheist that another atheist can go around using terms catholics find derogatory yet try and frame me as a bigot, unprovoked, especially considering I don't use such language for Catholics or Protestants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Can I just say say something in defence of Gordon. I kind of know where he’s coming from I was brought up in a staunch CoS family and even became an Elder and Treasurer before realising - I don’t believe in this. However, most of the folks in my local church are top class and do lots of good things both within and without the Church and I still pay a monthly s/o into the funds. Like Gordon I am classed as lapsed but still, I think, on the books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
