The bullshit thread
First topic message reminder :
Not sure I should be mentioning this on here, but some members got PMs from Dean saying the site may be down for a while. I suppose if it's down that people will notice anyway, so I'm not giving private details away. Seems like he's received a serious complaint about content or something; not sure if he meant it was from the forom site people, but it might be something to do with the Turkish government who are having a crackdown on social networking site. Not sure tbh. Anyway it's a shame because In a Flap used to be such a good site where people had freedom of speech.

However sphinx is actually right, using tourettes and mongol as insults is offensive.
Thank you eilzel.
Sure I am a hypocrite - that aint the point. All I was asking was that some others practice the standards they claim they operate by.
If someone says they have certain standards and are falling below those standards should it really matter who asks them to return to their self claimed standards?

Ben_Reilly wrote:I honestly don't believe HA meant any offense, but I can't speak for him. Seeing his other posts here, however, he doesn't seem to be the type of person who would look down on those with Tourette's or who are mentally impaired.
I contrast that with my perception of those who, through what they say, show themselves (to me) to be racists, xenophobes, homophobes, sexists, religious bigots or even that they disbelieve in the existence of mental disabilities that affect millions of people. They refuse to treat people as individuals, and instead decide they know who someone is on the basis of one characteristic they know about that person, and what that shows me is that they prefer not to tax their brains with too much effort of thinking.
As for the members of IAF, they have their good ones and bad ones just like we do, and of course the judgement is merely my opinion. But I'm a member over there and I have rarely gotten anything resembling fair treatment or the benefit of the doubt, and that especially includes the administrator.
I never said he intended to cause offence - I never claimed I was offended.
I simply tried to point out that what he was saying and how he was saying it was hurtful and objectionable to people affected by the condition he was so blithely calling others.
I knew full well it wasnt intentional I was just trying to get him to think a bit and realize he might have been clumsy so he could pull back a bit.

That's not entirely true is it? Some people have said that he said nothing wrong.
Bit Sohinx, Andy means no malice, he uses it as a reference and has given it no derogatory name
Andy has said or done nothing wrong Sphinx...the posts speak for themselves.
It wasn't aimed at the suffers of Tourettes, it was aimed at those acting as if they had it when they didn't.
I think reasonable people would realize HA meant no offense to people with Tourette's

You and Eli are spot on - it's the hypocrisy that gets me.
I'm the same as veya - let rip as long as it isn't directed at individuals, but for the admin to come on and act like a complete slimeball over a left wing friend after acting all high and mighty against others from the minute they joined - makes you wanna puke.

AND YET......If I had described "something" (not someone) as being "gay" in a derogatory manner....I would have been hung drawn and castigated for being "homophobic", on the PROGRESSIVE LEFTY reasoning that since I used the word "gay" in a negative sense, clearly I must see gay people in a negative way...
how is THAT use of the word "gay" ANY DIFFERENT to the use of tourettes syndrome in a negative descriptor manner, It isnt, it is PRECICELY THE SAME.
NOW I KNOW HA doesnt look upon those less fortunate in a negative way, and that he meant no insult to those affected. What I find disturbing is the peek into the "progressive" lefty mindset that this has afforded...whereby THEY can do the very thing that they accuse anyone who disagrees with them, and yet want to appear lilly white and all indignant when it suits them. I have always said that there is something sinister about the "progressive"

Victor, I hope you aren't casting all in the same light. I actually agreed those words are also offensive. Those who don't think they are I cannot speak for sadly.

Re: The bullshit thread
This forum only has a the odd few who would use those words in a derogatory manner, certainly when the conditions of my son, sassy's granddaughter and TTS were mocked on ADO, it was allowed and even encouraged ...
So who would you say those are on the left would use those words in a derogatory manner Vic?

can anyone remember a time when you could give your opinion and openly disagree to the point of saying you don't like it and people took it as opinion rather than a phobic stance..

Re: The bullshit thread
Anyone can give an opinion GIG; it is the reasoning behind that opinion that determines whether it is bigoted or not. And in the case of using words like mong or tourettes as insult, it is the offence to sufferers that is the problem.

Re: The bullshit thread
Frankly, it was the sheer hypocrisy of Sphinx complaining because this time she happened to be close to someone with the problem, when so many times people have called others 'spazzies' etc on her forum and she refused to do anything about it.
I don't thing HA should have used 'mong' but can understand that as it is thrown at him over and over, why he would feel like throwing it back. There are many symptoms of Tourettes, but one of them is bouts of swearing, so Durham and Hugh do sound as if they have the symptom in many of their posts.
The only reason BA is stirring this is because he got angry about the joke 'three strikes rule'.
If anyone else had pointed out to HA the 'mong' bit, I'm sure he would have said sorry, but as it has been levelled at him so many times, as Sphinx would never do anything about it on her forum, and as he has a disabled daughter, I expect he thought 'who the hell are you to talk'.

If they are saying that as their OPINION, they should not try to pass it off as a fact..
They are the ones who bring and end to what is 'opinion'.

We are NOT looking at the actual level of offense here, with the exception of EIL ...everyone else seems to be defending the use of such terms in a derogatory manner...I DO see exactly where Sphinx is comming from here...
It is the DUALITY of standards, that is the problem....
The posts on this thread form most of the "progressive" camp clearly show that the "SIXHIRB" hypothesis is a valid one, and when the progressives whinge that someone is sexist/racist/etc it is indeed a blatant attempt to SHUT DOWN any discussion of subjects they dont like.

I agree I have always said the phobe words are just spin to make you feel guilty for not agreeing with them...
rules have to apply to all or to no one, that is a very simple and basic concept, if people see some get away with rule breaking and they cannot they will quite rightly feel aggrieved...

...then you obviously weren't around to see they 'spazzy' avatars and Downy posts aimed at me mad another mocking my autistic toddler...
Is that ' fair and free speech' or hateful and nasty Victor?
I don't condone anyone using conditions like autism or someone like me with spilt cord malformation and scoliosis is of the spine using words like ' spazzy' as free speech, mad just shows what kind of admin she was...
And I've certainly never mocked anyone with a condition or disability, so I don't know who your talking about.
It was all very well to let the severe abuse of me and my kid on ADO, now someone says something innocently to describe a pair of idiots who done nothing but abuse as well as dish the 'mong' name out to many...and now suddenly in your eyes sphinx has never done any wrong?

Sphinx has already said she is a hypocrite but merely calling on others to meet their own self proclaimed standards.
I think it kind of sick that you would rather a whole group (tourettes affected) would be left in the, all be it inadvertent, firing line just in order to "punish" me for pissing you off in the past.

Well your criticizing the wrong person Vic, I've done nothing wrong and I can't see how anyone else on the left has either ...I can't control what HA says Vic, but anyone implying he meant it in the derogatory was is mistaken , especially having a bairn himself who is disabled.
I never even notice he wrote that part till sassy mentioned it ,mi must have overlooked it, but you are just jumping on what you choose Vic and being very selective...quite easy to do that when you haven't been a victim on ADO.

The only duality of standards I have seen in THIS thread aint from sphinx....IF sphinx entertained dual standards times past, AND even IF she is now holding dual standards by complaining about this...THAT DOES NOT lessen the culpability of the progressive group in exhibiting the same duality here and now....THAT is the argument of the playground...WAHHHHH...she's just as bad.
The progressives like to claim the moral high ground, and pour disdain and scorn on all who oppose their vision of a grey amorphous mediocracy, yet are guilty of the same...but dont like being caught out...
as I said Its NOT about persons...HA may have been the trigger, but its no longer about HIM, or indeed what he said, Its the attitude that says do as I say, not as I do, comming from the supposedly "liberalist "progressive " camp. likewise what sphinx has done/is doing is irrelevant....

If anyone else had pointed out to HA the 'mong' bit, I'm sure he would have said sorry, but as it has been levelled at him so many times, as Sphinx would never do anything about it on her forum, and as he has a disabled daughter, I expect he thought 'who the hell are you to talk'.
Sphinx has already said she is a hypocrite but merely calling on others to meet their own self proclaimed standards.
I think it kind of sick that you would rather a whole group (tourettes affected) would be left in the, all be it inadvertent, firing line just in order to "punish" me for pissing you off in the past.
Nobody is punishing you Sphinx,that's just ridiculous...
And yes you did admit to being a hypocrite, only because so many of us remembered the things you said and allowed on ADO...
YOU BROUGHT ALL THAT ON YOURSELF...despite countless attempts to make you see sense and not to drag your forum in the gutter like that, but you chose not to listen for the sake of more traffic...
And that is why you are so distrusted as a forum admin to this day...
But I'm sure you will in sense that and know better.

Well your criticizing the wrong person Vic, I've done nothing wrong and I can't see how anyone else on the left has either ...I can't control what HA says Vic, but anyone implying he meant it in the derogatory was is mistaken , especially having a bairn himself who is disabled.
I have already said, its no longer about persons, OR what was said....its about the lefty inclination to hold more different standards than the flag room at buckingham palace.
I never even notice he wrote that part till sassy mentioned it ,mi must have overlooked it, but you are just jumping on what you choose Vic and being very selective...quite easy to do that when you haven't been a victim on ADO.

Re: The bullshit thread
Try getting this through your heads
The ado where I allowed the abuse was described as an anything gos no rules place - so anything went and there were no rules until I got so bloody uncomfortable I had to introduce them at which point it went down the toilet.
However the important thing is it was described as anything goes no rules.
Newsfix is not described as anything goes no rules and ben has a multitude of times stepped in to make it clear there will be standards in here and a large group of people have claimed they do not need to be told their are standards because their own personal standards are so high anyway.
I have simply asked that those advertised standards be used - and got a shit load of abuse for it.
I mean if a pub landlord goes into a coffee shop that clearly states it does not allow alcohol and complains that someone is drinking alcohol is he going to get abused because drinking alcohol is allowed in his pub? That is what this amounts to.

It was the DUALITY of Sphinx's standards that was the problem.
The only duality of standards I have seen in THIS thread aint from sphinx....IF sphinx entertained dual standards times past, AND even IF she is now holding dual standards by complaining about this...THAT DOES NOT lessen the culpability of the progressive group in exhibiting the same duality here and now....THAT is the argument of the playground...WAHHHHH...she's just as bad.
The progressives like to claim the moral high ground, and pour disdain and scorn on all who oppose their vision of a grey amorphous mediocracy, yet are guilty of the same...but dont like being caught out...
as I said Its NOT about persons...HA may have been the trigger, but its no longer about HIM, or indeed what he said, Its the attitude that says do as I say, not as I do, comming from the supposedly "liberalist "progressive " camp. likewise what sphinx has done/is doing is irrelevant....
Oh right, it's all my fault

Re: The bullshit thread
Regards to what HA said...
Last night Sphinx you said you were upset at him comparing Hugh and Blair to someone with Tourette's,..
You said that your guest with Tourette's would get upset if you told him someone on the forum had made this comparison.....
Now, if you had a modicum of discretion and even sense...you just would not tell your Tourette s friend this..
Well doesn't that mean you just wouldn't tell your Tourette's friend who is sitting next to you what HA had said then?
Now, I'm telling each of you pretending to be offended right now...
Please stop this pitiful bullshit, your ADO was full of deliberately mocking disabled people and barns, people don't forget that and trying to create a victim in yourself is just not working...
You are no victim Sphinx, the people who remember ain't buying this, when you were far more willing to let the slander of disabled People run rife on ADO...
Now if anyone thinks HA has done wrong, them see him, bit I know he has not meant it in the manner described.
Stop this bullshit and pretending to point score and be offended.
Enough.
