Yeah she must be a pain for those who think that their freedom to be absolute knob-heads is being curtailed by the imaginary PC brigade.

Fair play.

A vivid and insightful critique.

Yeah, it's just too much when you make an ill thought out post on a complex issue and the "PC brigade" show up and poke holes in it, isn't it? :rolleyes:

staker · 13-01-2012 2:58pm

Watty over in the Technical Forum never fails to deliver reasoned informative posts.
Man is a walking genius, I don't begrudge it him though

Dudess is unique, I'd say I'd rip my own hair out if I ever got into an argument with her over a pint, but she does it so eloquently it's never personal.

There's a poster on the golf forum,conno16,I'm sure he's banned,constantly trolling and winding up the locals. A leg end.

Yes it is..the PC brigade should stick to eating tofu and hugging trees and leave grown up discussions to grown ups.

Napper Hawkins · 13-01-2012 3:05pm

There's definitely one or two I admire, not begrudgingly though.

I like reading Dudess' posts as she's quite good at putting tards in their place, Logical Fallacy and Starbelgrade the same.

The PC brigade is a fictional group who are referenced when knob-heads run out of ways of presenting their ignorance as some sort of persecution.

Not at all! I only get really argumentative when the other argument is tard-tastic: full of holes, no back-up, disingenuous, etc. I'd never be like that over something I merely disagreed with when it's well thought out and supported.

It might be relevant to some thickos, but there are plenty of PC muppets about though.

Fear Uladh · 13-01-2012 3:18pm

I'd have to say Pighead.

There probably are people who think that calling a blackboard a blackboard is insulting to black folks but I'd imagine they are pretty few and far between and really shouldn't be taken seriously.

I don't think she would ever try and steal your drink.

In my mind all the messages on boards are written by four of five people. All the posters are just variations in the moods of the four or five actual posters.

And I don't mean that posters follow the trends set by others, I literally mean that all the users are actually just four or five people. When they are feeling lighthearted what they type comes up with a particular username, when they are angry another, when they are philosophical another still. I don't admire any of them, but I admit I am occasionally surprised by them.

pow wow · 13-01-2012 3:31pm

TeddyTedson occasionally.

I think you might have a touch of schizophrenia.

Not at all....they are a very real group whose views on matters they know nothing about are a counterpoint to common sense and life experience.

For example(this actually was said)

Poster:
"I was in the gym the other day when a chinese man tried to take the bench i was using".

PC brigade:"How do you know he was chinese?"

Poster:"Because i live in China,thats how."

I am outraged at this kind of neo-facist hate-speech. We are the 99% or something.

Sure, but some folks here call anyone who disagrees with their poorly thought out right-wing views members of the PC brigade.
For example, if some genius comes along and says nearly all single mothers get pregnant for benefits, it's not PC to say you don't know that for certain, it's more complex than that, etc. It's just putting some thought into things.

Consider this.

At one point it was common sense that the world was flat and indeed that was the (life) experience of everyone.

Common sense and life experience should compliment reason, logic and scientific investigation not inform it.

You get the picture?

ScumLord · 13-01-2012 3:53pm

I would have to say "philologos", despite me disagreeing with his religious choices, he sticks to his guns in a polite manner and would be what I call a proper Christian, some one who not only talks the talk but walks the walk in being a nice person that doesn't use their religion for hate.

zyxwvu · 13-01-2012 4:01pm

Wibbs.. but not begrudgingly..!

Phill Ewinn · 13-01-2012 4:05pm

What was the question again?

WindSock · 13-01-2012 4:06pm

Begrudingly? hmmm Wibbs probably despite the fact that he is a complete know it all on everything, I have learned a lot from some of his longwinded posts :pac:

Outlawpete, despite the fact that he and I had many disagreements on a particular topic, he was still quite funny and witty and found myself thanking some of his posts with pursed lips.

Jakkass, don't know where he is now but I always thought he put up a good battle in fighting his corner for Christianity.

Degsy, very consistent and often a lone voice in a sea of do - gooders

I'm sure there are many more of whom I can't think of at the moment.

A lot of whom I admire too but I tend to agree with them often so it's not the same.

TeddyTedson · 13-01-2012 4:12pm

You're relying upon a widely held view without ever having proved it for yourself.
