Hello Scotgirl is that you

Jean Pool · 10-12-2005, 08:07 PM

There are quite a few very strong personalities on this forum, which, in my opinion - is a good thing. I'm sure we've all taken a bit if a bruising at times - so what? That is bound to happen with differing political opinion.

The difference with "Scotgirl" is that you come across, to my mind, as a very isolated individual (and I'm not talking LibDem supporting). This is not meant as a derogatory comment. If you take offence - whatever.

You confront at almost every given occasion - of course, that is your right and choice. You seem unable to bend from a very singular dimensional track which you are travelling down.

It's quite strange, in my time here I haven't received one offensive PM - not that I would mind though....

I think a little bit of "forum-stardom" has gone to your head, SG.

Just try and be a little less mechanical.

I'd never heard the expression "giggle-stick". :?: until Christina pointed it out.

Are they any good?

Look it up on Google, Jean Pool. It is a toy, but the context of the statement makes it a double entendre. It is a way of giving personal abuse which can be denied unlike a straightforward, you are a .......

To insult a woman with that kind of thing, is misogynistic pure and simple. It is like some MPs shouting 'melons' at women MPs at the House of Commons. It is intimidating and nasty.

There used to be a saying ( not me personally you understand) "I didn't know you could have so much fun without laughing" It was from a generation before "giggle sticks" and it seems it still applies in Hartlepool.

Yes,you may be right about losing her bloke MKP, but she probably relies on a giggle stick and may have lost that,or,battery may be low. Quite obvious,she's immensly frustrated

I now know what it is, thankyou very much.

It's something you sit on, either indoors or in the garden, jump around a bit and it makes you giggle.

I didn't realise pogos were so offensive these days.

According to the rules of the forum, we are not allowed to make a personal insult as in 'you are a cretin', etc.

The point I'm making is that a personal insult can be done in a sly way, like making double entrendres about giggle sticks and batteries and boyfriends, or when a certain person stated that Chad was my Pimp ( as an analogy to make a point), and when I complained about being called a Prostitute the mod did nothing. It's pathetic, IMO.

Well, fair enough (I see a cross-posting coming on).

All of a sudden, SG sees the humorous side. Make your minds up, ladies.

Perhaps depends on shades of mood at the time, feeling a little fragile.
