The Reform Thread

Andrew Tate was another one for a while. That led to one of my favourite Sog moments

Aside from his weird labelling of everyone who doesn't agree with him far right he's also regularly delivering masterclasses in how to completely make yourself look a total mug by missing the point. Who remembers when he was banging on about Andrew Tate and when people started to tell him to give it a rest he bumped a thread i'd started about Tate as some sort of gotcha to prove I was a fan of his. unfortuantely for SOG, in his haste to have a pop he failed to understand the thread was taking the piss out of Tate. Even then he wouldn't back down and ended up making himself look a proper fool. 

Another time he accused me of arrogantly starting a thread on a topic so i could get attention, but was too stupid to realise the Mods had split a thread and mine just happened to be the first post on the split thread.

He really is the gift that keeps giving. Funny how one of his go to phrases is "engage your brain before you post' If only he applied his own advice.

Indeed.

From his post to me earlier I see he’s doing his thing of repeating a lie until it becomes true in his head. This one first came up a while ago, he accused me of following him around on pap’s forum for ages and ages. Until it was pointed out that (a) I only made about 30 posts on that forum (b) all of my posts were within 3 months of each other, and (c) the posts are all still publicly visible and a quick search for anyone will show that there is not one single mention of him in any of my posts, positive, negative or otherwise. Still, here we again repeating the lie. Such a dumb ball.

Robinson's and Hopkins' names generally appear when you use them to describe another poster as supporting them. Very rarely, if at all, are they quoted or supported directly.

( Edit: see the above post).

That is because, when I first mentioned their names and their connection to what most people  understand as far right views, one particular poster immediately jumped in to defend them. I defended my view and so it continued. Bizarrely, he later claimed not to know who these people were. Yes, go figure!

My argument was then as it is now, if you don’t support someone’s views, why defend them so vigorously?

If the poster’s who use the term “Lefties” for anybody who criticises the Right slagged off Stalin or Lenin, you wouldn’t find me backing them up on here.

The pile on crowd then joined him and it became a “thing,” a regular occurrence to label them as an obsession. This was before it became widespread news that both of the characters expressed odious, hateful views, though both had a great deal of support on social media. They aren’t alone of course. There are plenty of others out there like them and Andrew Tate. Of course these people have now become part of the mainstream. They should be nowhere near it and do get a lot of pushback, which makes it even stranger to find that there are people who still have a problem with anyone who has a problem with their views.

If I had an obsession with them i would repost their views on a regular basis. There is no need as most people now know what they stand for. Both would be at home in the Reform Party and, given their standing in the polls, it is reason enough not to let these things slide.

Another odd thing on here, there are plenty of posters on here who constantly call out Trump and his behaviour, yet there is only a couple of die hard Trump supporters who throw the TDS around at his detractors. Why is that not seen as obsessive behaviour by the usual suspects too?

Talking of Trump, if I had an obsession with “far right” figures I would have known all about, and posted about, Charlie Knight. I knew nothing about this character until the day he was shot.

Anyway, hopefully Egg’s findings have put paid to another bit of forum misinformation.

Let’s get this right. I didn’t accuse youof following me around on Pap’s forum. I said that you had an issue with me there, which you did. You didn’t even remember being on there when I mentioned it previously. This was ten years ago and I can’t remember exactly what you took issue with, my posting style I expect, but I wasn’t your favourite poster in the short time you were there.

It is no big deal, you are still a grumpy individual and still have a pop at me, so nothing has changed.

Let’s get this right, all of my posts on pap’s forum are visible. I’ve searched them and can’t find one single reference to you. Can you provide a link? Should be quite easy to do.

I’ll go and have a look when I have time but is it possible that you may have deleted it when you were on the forum? 
Have you looked at your posts there? I’m guessing no.

I looked at my posts there again this morning just to refresh my memory. I looked at all my posts when you first made the absurd allegation. Back then I logged in to my account and read through each post, and also ran a search on your user name on my posts just to make sure. Nothing.

I have not deleted nor edited any post I have ever made on there. 

it’s fine to just admit you were being silly at the time and just made it up. Let’s be honest now, we both know that’s exactly what’s happened. But we can play through the charade anyway.

He was 14 at the time, who gives a fuck what he 'may' have said.

It matters a lot when you want to be PM. For the average bloke in the street, irrelevant.

Agree to a large extent. That said, he’s said so many racist things as an adult this month let alone over the last 15 years that there’s no need to travel back to his childhood when we all say daft/offensive things.

It is strange that Tice can say that all those accusng Farage have faulty memories, because it was so long ago, but Farage's recollections of the same events are perfectly clear.

He also hasn’t changed a bit whereas most people grow out of it.

I have just looked too and can’t find anything so will hold my hands up. I may have confused it with TUI or even earlier on this site, it’s not as if you don’t have previous with historical digs. I think we can both agree that I am not in your top 100 posters and never have been.

What I did discover in your brief time on Sotonians were your favourite posters on this site from back in 2015. I won’t embarrass you with you first choice, but your second choice begins with T, which explains a lot 😉

My posts are a matter of public record. Anyone can view them if they can be bothered, I can’t think of any good reason why they would want to though.

Thank you I suppose for the tiniest bit of honesty at last.

Well at least it shows that he was a c**t back then and still a c**t now.
