THE VIRUS 2020 - the good, the bad, and the ugly

Yes it does, it's exactly what the whole thing has been about. Don't claim ignorance now.

That's complete bullshit.
I didn't enter into any discussion with anyone about trolling or argue with anyone about their opinion. In fact, I've made a point of staying away from those sorts of conversations, because it doesn't interest me.
Hardly ignorant on my part at all, and won't be coerced into an argument with you about it.

You entered into the discussion when you gave your opinion about opinions. You can't expect for anyone not to argue with that opinion when it is so clearly wrong. And it is ignorant when you are pretending the whole thing didn't start because Drama was trolling again.

It's good that we can disagree on things, sir.
 
rj90 said:
Except I disagree respectfully, without referring to your opinions as stupid.
Moving forward, I shan't take the same approach should the need to engage with you present itself again.

But your opinion was stupid. If someone posted a bigoted opinion would you give it the same respect and consideration as you would for a non bigoted opinion?

Oh, fuck off mate.
You're absurd, and you're comparing two completely different things.
I'm not going to have you tell me my opinion is stupid, when 90% of what you post is complete and utter rubbish.

That’s a bit rude. Aren’t you personally attacking Columbo now for his opinion?

No I'm not. And I've never posted as something as stupid as you did with treating all opinions equally. Because treating all opinions equally is how bigotry and hatred is allowed to thrive in our society.
 
rj90 said:
Considering his opinion is about me, I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to have a crack at him.
But cute of you to jump in.

I am just following the social etiquette of this forum which was pointed out to me by many last night. Shouldn’t it be equal for all? That was a personal attack on Columbo for his opinion.

Your opinion is irrelevant and stupid, in my opinion.

I don't see how it's irrelevant.

Unfortunately it's not equal for all. Otherwise Fuzz, the poster who suddenly and suspiciously was concerned about attacking the post not the poster when drama/beach/inigo montoya/nightclubs/rumours/Aphrodite fan was involved, and others would have been concerned about that a long time ago.

Like I told Columbo, I didn't engage at all in yesterday's discussion.
So if you want to associate me with everyone else, that is fine.

Interestingly, you note my comments in relation to Columbo as an attack, but not his on me.
I may be mistaken, but you did the same yesterday with other posters who engaged in conflict with Columbo.
I guess that's you opting to publicly chose a side in this debate.
I do not take sides, and frankly until 30 minutes ago, have no issue with anyone on this forum.
 
Not taking a side is taking a side. Although saying all opinions should be treated equally is taking a side for bigotry and hatred. Which is rather a cowardly way of doing it imo.

You did get involved this morning.
rj90 said:
100% agree with this.
We all have different life experiences which is why we all form a different view of the world.
If someone has a different opinion, embracing it and understanding it is far more beneficial that dismissing and attacking it. There are some absolutely ridiculous views and opinions posted here all the time (in my opinion), but it heaps me gain a better understanding of society by seeing them and challenging my own thoughts.

Then preceded to personally attack Columbo later for his opinion.
The hypocrisy.

That's not what I said at all you idiot. You've completely cherry picked an example and turned it into something its not.

If someone on here starts posting racist, homophobic, ageist slurs, then 100% call that shit out. But if someone says 'Scott Morrison is the greatest PM ever because xxxxx' then whilst I don't necessarily agree with them, I'll reflect on their opinion and make an informed judgment on my own. It's about embracing other peoples opinions to open your eyes to things you might not normally see.

Explain to me where someone posted something last night that was in anyway racist, or homophobic, or discriminatory, that you can relate my comments to? You're up here pretending like I'm trying to be the fucking poster boy for hatred and bigotry, when nothing of the sort occurred.

I resent being called a coward for sharing an opinion, and I find your comments appalling.
 
So everyone can jump on me for calling Drama “a joke” for her supposed worryingly views with Credlin but then in turn do the same thing?

Why was my post singled out when there has been worse personal attacks made in this thread and forum?

Baffling.
