The worst kind of grifter getting some comeuppance. Preaching the word of god whilst driving past homeless people in his RollsRoyce. He’ll probably get it all back and more in donations.

really? maybe if you got an overhaul to recalibrate your settings you could make a more accurate assessment.

Ok?

Ugh so friggin' tired of this. Go away @Oddball , you freak.

i quoted a post for someone who asked me a question and it kind of snowballed from there like a great big piley-on, all the haters and lurkers coming out of the woodwork. if you lack fortitude and are so easily irked may i suggest a safe space where you can rest awhile and calm your fevered brow before carrying on with your paper-round, theres a good lad.

I get the gist that you're some culture war weirdo

i`m not. i`m just posting some stuff in the erm........................culture war thread. mad eh!

It's almost everyone on the forum who thinks one thing, and he who thinks another. Theres a wisdom in crowds.

Not in Anfield there isn’t

Seems to have a pattern:

Make outrageous comments/talk utter nonsense, then ask for reasoned debate, attempt a conversation and completely fail at it, get offended and sensitive, moan that it's beneath him, claim the other person is "rattled", then obsessively tag them in posts.

gas-lighting is a major pass-time of yours ain`t it Richard. who cares though. `long as you believe it that`s all that counts

Only reason I look into this thread is that I always get a flashback to this caramel delight!

I'm a simple man! Easily pleased.

Why is he calling everyone by their first name?

Power move? I know who you are? A polite insult? It is rather odd tbf.

I don't think you understand what gas lighting means.

Hope you've had a lovely evening though. Done much critical thinking? Obsessive tagging? Quasi-onanism?

Still makes me feel sick that scene

Now that is a flashback! Might get a pack of rolos as consolation for a dearly departed chocolate.

tell me your understanding then. - i`ll give you an example of gas-lighting, you say i obsessively tag members, but when i had not long registered here i was told by Catcher -(i`ll find his post when i get time) `you need to tag members into discussions because it comes across as ignorant if you dont` - or words to that effect. so the other day i quoted a post by Catcher that Jeffers had asked of me, so by stating i obsessively tag members in, you are in fact are gas-lighting. and to further add to your subterfuge you double down pretending otherwise.
