Claverham 'gimp suit' man terrifies woman in village

Seriously now this thread has turned into how people are offending gays and how gays get treated.

Really this bloody world and country is getting far to PC. Dream seriously you need to relax have fun and maybe realise just once not everything is about you and not everyone that disagrees with you hates you.

People wouldn't have a damn clue who on this forum is gay or straight. The problem with some gay people is they keep banging on about the fact they are gay. Why i never know does it really matter. Noone really cares what sexual preference members have on here.

But if it is getting to the stage you can not have a joke because it offends someone then sorry but the fault is with the person who gets offended at just about anything.

I have been called many things in my life i do not let it get to me. Certainly don't make a song and dance about it and that is in real life not a forum.
Many a time i have had a lot of abuse and bigoted stuff directed to me. Why let it bother you. You just get on with it. If someone on here was saying Dream is such and such and being offensive towards you then it is a different matter. If not and it is a joke you do not particularly like tut away to yourself then move on and forget you read it. Making a song and dance and more out of things than were meant is not healthy.
Maybe you needed to see the original thread title, before it was change.
Then DreamRJ's posts might make a bit more sense. they're a bit out of context now
 
I agree with portions of some points and some I disagree with.
Life's too short to worry about everything online - It's why I avoid most political dramas...er...rant...threads.

While I agree this doesnt cross the line, there DOES need to be a line. It isnt always enough to scroll past threads you disagree with . In an all-inclusive forum, members need to feel welcomed. Threads can't be a free-for-all and sod anyone offended.

Me? I laugh at Daffyd. The reality is there ARE over-the-top flambouyant men. The skit can be a hoot.
The man in the article is a deviant and a whack-job. Keep your fetish to the bedroom or the club (or when lambasting goatie who has a stellar sense of humour)
I've a rather dark sense of humour myself, obvious in some threads.

I AM however against the idea that ANY joke which degrades a group is ok and will probably always speak out. Noone should feel like they arent welcome(d) in the forum (well, barring obvious extremes of course).

As I say, I didnt report the post - my sensibilities arent that delicate.
But if a post does go beyond good humour to the point of bashing - regardless if one or many argue 'oh, it's all in good fun, you're just being sensitive' - a too often trotted out excuse to express disdain or hate from a majority toward a minority while reversing blame for one's actions, attacking the offended party for being rightly offended, and one I truly, truly dislike - I won't ever hesitate to speak out.

Again, I watch LB. Daffyd's a nut. :P
I'm speaking in generalities.

I read the original title when it was first posted.

Makes no difference. Has it really got to the stage where nothing can be posted at all and noone can speak in real life without it offending something.

Fair enough. I was just going by your statement, that this was the first thread you'd read, after a shit day.

Us two, eh. Back and forth, back and forth

With.....the words

the words

:oops:
 
Can I make a prediction here.....

Bet there is am infraction or two in the next few hours :p

Can see where this one is going.....again!

Ps: Anyone who throws a few insults in my direction from this moment on, especially the 'W' one *virtual handshake* you're spot on! :eek:
I doubt that any infractions will come of it
though my brain is still pre coffee (but plus fireball) and still trying to work out W handshake thingy
 
The issue seems to be that in these politically correct times, some people seem to have forgotten what satire and self depreciation is in terms of comedy.

With this type of comedy, everyone and everything can be a butt of a joke or the source of a joke. Shows like Little Britain etc were not bigoted or racist etc because of their sketches, the sketches were there to make fun of bigoted views. There's a massive difference and yet people fail to note this satire.

By the same token, Dunover was not aiming to be homophobic, it was merely a joke. I'm staggered as to how precious some people can be in not seeing this.

The worrying thing is, this isn't just restricted to this thread, it's symptomatic as to how the wider world has gone. There's a HUGE difference between someone making a light hearted wisecrack and someone genuinely being intolerant of a particular group of people.

Common sense people!
 
that's all fine and dandy but there are also degrees.
Can liberal sensibilities go too far? Of course. I'm liberal and I roll my eyes often (and get offended being lumped in with the far, far too left) at how far pc can go just as there's far, far too right.
But not all sensibilities are bad. Especially in a universal forum.
I CAN tell you unequivacably, that while some people are TOO offended, there's as many take license TO offend - it wasn't much long ago, NO member felt comfotable enough to be openly gay here (and no, I don't mean, freely flaunt sexuality, but rather, as men make jokes and comments toward the female persuasion, that men werent able - well, feel able to - make likened comments about males. And let's be frankly honest, that hasn't THAT much changed.
It's very, very easy for a white, male, heterosexual majority to STILL disparage other colours, races, and sexualities then shrug and say, well, youre just too easily offended, whilst offending.

I LOVE satire, dry wit, dark humour. I'm also aware I need to be cognizant I'm not the only one reading.

'AN' issue is some people have forgotten what satire and good humour is
Another is, some people haven't gotten on board that the landscape has changed.

I think you're good unless a bunch of people are around it it long white hooded cloaks :rolleyes:
 
:laugh: Believe me unless you watch the videos without sound it would annoy and offend many:p
I recently moved from where I asked the local fire chief if I needed a fire license and he's like, dude, everyone just hauls their garbage out and makes a bonfire - they even ran all winter :laugh:
Here, the pit must be X feet from X, grated and you need to buy a seasonal license (I didnt lol)

Guy who lives close to me has a field connected to his house. He burns that field like 2-3 times during the summer.
Makes it grow like crazy and it gets really green.
He has done it for years, but theres always someone coming around asking if he needs help putting it out, or if they should call the fire brigade.

Its actually pretty cool how controlled the burns are. He used to have a watercan (like the big ones, for your garden) and just draw a line in the field, and the fire comes to a halt exactly on the line. Like 2 years back he upgraded to a super-soaker.
Maybe thats why people keep coming around being all worried. They see some crazy dude in the middle of a burning field with a beer in one hand and a super-soaker in the other.
 
:laugh: How did you know what type of bonfire i was referring to. Shocking to know you were like that:p

But got to admit it's always a great night down Sandy Row and always a great bonfire

Ideal for a John Long's Fish n Chips as well - was just round the corner from where i worked. Needless to say i may have gained a pound or 2 or 24 in that time:oops:
 
Anyway how did this go from a man attacking a woman, to a Gay rights debate , to a discussion on bonfires lol.
oh, it's all organic
there was an unquenchable fire in someone's pants :P

And as I said to @Jono777 - The same reply I said to that post I say to your post. No point in me repeating it. But I will again state, I did not take it personally, I was offended because it came across like it was targeting a group and not an individual person. As I said in my other posts. There will always be members on this forum that over react to posts I make, I just basically do not let them affect me anymore. I really could not care less anymore. Life is far to short for it. Frankly it is pretty childish as well. Like people have got nothing else better to do with their lives but sit constantly at a computer screen on a forum and post and troll other members!?

But hey what ever rocks your boat. It certainly does not bother me or interest me,
 
As much as I've tried and I mean really tried to like Dream he just cannot help overreacting to pretty much everything, maybe he can't help it and all of it is innocent nature.

I've never know a more apt fitting for the "Mountain out of a mole hill" saying. C'mon Dream just enjoy the banter and the nonsense, regardless of the subject matter, the way it is meant and do not take offence to every single thing, nothing is personal towards you and never has been.

FWIW, I will be out in my shiny red one on Friday night :)

Jono are yoooou Spider Man? :eek2: :D

You could not have said it better yourself :p
 
Having just read the 'story' in full now it has to go down as possibly the greatest news piece this year - even decade

The woman, who did not wish to be named, remembers pushing and screaming at the man, before he started running backwards to the main road.

"Every time I close my eyes I just see that face."
