A Big Fat Spoon

Walford Web Forum's Lesson for the Day is: Never attempt to argue with children.

Children are incapable of sustained, rational thought, and, therefore, will only see what they want to see in any situation.

For an example of how a Episode discussion can descend into a cleverly constructed argument about nothing, initiated by the juvenile passive-aggressive fanboi element. You can read the thread here. The fun starts on Page 3 of the thread. (Page 3, isn't that suggestive of something?)

For the record, the Forum Host called no one "morons." He spoke generically. There's a dictionary if you have trouble getting your head around the meaning of that word. The only thing proven in that argument was that the people who were pushing back, clearly didn't have the ability to read for comprehension. Others who did, used it as an excuse to get their own back against a Forum Host who is blunt of expression, but no ruder than the cocky little senorito who uses Emma Atkins's avatar and definitely not as rude as Shamelessness who wantonly tells people to SHUT THE FUCK UP. No internet abbreviations, mind, but the full Monty.

Another thing that's proven is that it doesn't take my presence to bring the bully boys out in force; all it takes is someone who offers a different opinion, spoken frankly, that that one accepted by the resident herd-following sheeple.

And, finally, there are some people on that forum - and, yes, I mean you, Nurse Don Draper-Diaper Ratchit, whose butter-wouldn't-melt-in-my-mouth attitude belies something infinitely more sinister in intention. She should know better, and she does, so she deserves an award for mixing the old fecal matter.

By the way, Ratchit, Dexter's not a nice person. He is, however, a little cock. But maybe that's to your taste.

Anyhoo ... these are for you ...





No, not at all. But she would to your face. Been watching too much Mad Men, I suppose.

P S ... By the way, Ratchit, no one feeds me anything. I gave up being spoon-fed when I was two years old. Check out access criteria at your kindergarten. Unlike some, I'm capable of reading, analysing and forming my own opinion. I'm neither led nor spoon-fed, and I don't stir. You really need some oil of evening primose.

  1. Mrs B is sly. How many times has she said she is going to leave because she has fallen out with somebody. She attacked one member who was nothing to do with the argument but had a different opinion. I left that place at the right time.
