Patriotism

[Brownie]

No offence was intended, and I rather doubt the posters on here would be offended:  abuse and foul language don't offend them, why should an observation I made with regard to their attitude to Brexit?  So I was not having a go, I was making a valid point based on my observations of their attitudes. Finally, it's not pointless: it's a point made in debate.

Incidently, you pick me up on what I say, but you don't appear to be taking note of some of the robust comments made to me.

Show me one then Bash.  I have just read through the entire thread looking for same.

You must have skipped over M54 then, which is a scurrilous and pretty awful over the top thing to say.

Oh was it heck. You had it explained to you.

Now, you may find this insulting - if you are too stupid to understand that post then nobody should be taking your posts seriously.

But to be clear I don't think you are too stupid to understand it - I just think you are playing a petty game. Oh poor me, picked on by that nasty TV.

Really Bashers go back to peeling your spuds.

Just when did you explain it?  Remind me.  And now I'm too stupid as well, eh?  Calm down;  it's just a discussion, and because you are palpably losing it, you are getting over-heated.

I feel like a few spuds, later:  I need my spuds!

I am presuming Trent means I explained it in reply #59. You will note in his post that he did not say he had explained it. You made that bit up.

Are you misreading things now. Or did you miss this bit:

Anyway, how am I losing this discussion. I am still awaiting proof from you that I am unpatriotic. You don't even seem to be able to cope with a challenge to the definition of patriotism that you yourself provided.

It's not me who is getting over-heated. It must be positively balmy in Bulwell.

I did NOT say he explained it.   I asked him to remind me when he had, knowing full well he couldn't,  and that you had, sort of.  Though why you are his apologist I don't know.  The fact is, he said it, in a moment of ire, no doubt.

[Aruntraveller]

Nope not in a moment of ire.

I've not had one of those in quite awhile.

Then your reprehensible little comment was intended, and you make NS look silly trying to explain your nasty comment away.

Anthony you put a definition of patriotism up that allows for anything. I simply challenged it.
That is all there is to it. You latched onto it as if it was some kind of challenge to your moral standing or something. It wasn't it was a challenge to the poorly ill-defined statement posted.

I'm still awaiting an explanation as to why my opposition to leaving the EU is unpatriotic.

so you deliberately implied that he said he had experiences kained, when you knew he hadn"t said that and what he meant. That means you deliberately lied, classy!

Very sorry, but your post makes no sense.

NS may, I think, be posting from his phone - which sometimes chews up words. But his meaning is clear as you well know.

Dear Sir,

Patriotism!! I am a totally unpatriotic type chap, I stubbed my toe stepping out of the shower, I blamed the Tories

I have explained it already:  try and follow.  But you are evading the issue as to your most unpleasant comment about genocide and Christian persecution, so completely over the top.  Your response here is classic:  try and detract by changing the subject.  I am truly surprised, and rather disappointed, at such unbecoming comments.  I had thought you a more controlled and mild person.

And good morning to you sir, and you are of course quite right to blame them.

I made no such implication:  you are making up what you want to think I said.  Not classy.

no, you haven't actually explained it. So far all you've done is asserted that somehow for issues that you have deemed 'domestic political issues' which have a referendum , everyone is suddenly supposed to change their mind about what they think is best for the country. You have been asked why that should be but no explanation has been forthcoming.

Actually if you look at the thread, you are the one who derailed it as early as post#2. I simply used your accusation of lack of patriotism to start a thread on that subject.

You, of course, draqged it back to the EU.

So actually your response is classic of a troll who is obsessed with one subject.

To quote you

Dear Maeght,

Weeelll!! It's all to do with Brexit, right!! right Brexit is a Tory fiasco, right!! right Bashers wants us all to stop whinging and get behind Brexit, right!! right so I am unpatriotic in not getting behind the Tory fiasco, right!! right I blame the Tories for all our ills, even me stubbing my toe stepping out of the shower, right!! right

Gonnagle.

Read M106, and stop trying to misrepresent me,  not that it's actually your argument.  Trent made an unpleasant comment, with innuendo;  and that's the whole point.  Either he retracts what he implied about my attitude, or he means it.  Simple.

I don't own a mobile phone, and had no idea how they may behave. Perhaps he should have checked what he had written before posting. It seems you and he are mutual apologists:  how cosy!
