If ever there was a thread to capture what is wrong with CWDF in a few pages that was it. Very funny. Athy's apparent fuddy duddyness is 100% act, learned when he was a "schoolmaster". Boris Johnson plays a similar game pretending to blunder about and be a bit of a duffa. My own brother used to do it, he talked in a whisper and grew hair twirly out of his ears when he was Uni professor. It's some kind of defence mechanism to act dufferish?
In a parallel world of forums on a different subject, on one I used to like but stopped posting on around the same time this one was born, the mod who always seems to be there is very loud about Brexit = racism. A few days ago he was bemoaning how overtly racist society has become "thanks to Brexit" and that it had been "difficult enough to bring up his mixed race children in the UK even when we were part of Europe". His wife is a very white Southern European, he's a white Englishman. His kids have always lived in the same area of England. Is that mixed race? Only minutes later he was attributing somebody's mechanical breakdown to Chinese crap when there had been no evidence or mention of Chinese parts. Is that racist? Having Mods like this guy and Athy is so stupid. Forum death wish. A good moderator doesn't do anything but politely fend off the offended and moderate stuff that could cause legal trouble, hopefully without loosing the gist. I'm the only mod on another forum and I do nothing at all. If people moan I suggest they use a forum with rules. What's so difficult?
Any differing opinion from a poster is either racist, thick or bigoted. The offended poster will either be a woke man, or woke woman, I could be classed as anti woke just for suggesting the gender reference in this post.
Feckin worlds going nuts, or to be more precise, we have a generation of lunatics who step outside their front door each morning looking to be offended.
Owen jones is a prime example of this problem, he presents himself as a victim the minute he hits fresh air.
