I said it was bordering on harassment/bullying. Bordering. Close to. Why? Well, when it looks to be coming from someone unprovoked(or provoked, if the word "us" counts which I did actually delete and edit a good few times before posting as I knew what the outcome would be), that much, that often, when there's plenty more people who do/post what/how I post in these circles, I can only think it's a bit personal, for no reason whatsoever. In multiple threads. Across a span of months. Then there's the times it's now being used like a anti-gav forum meme by others, at times when it has no relevance to the conversation or the thread. Heck, there's even a thread dedicated to folk following American sports teams that are just ripe for it but no one there gets this level of shite, do they? Just me? Alright then. Bordering.
Banter is banter, and I can give and take it, but after this long, over something so bloody trivial, with just the one person taking particular exception to it, it grates. I can't be bothered.
It's not really the "wahh bad man hates me liking Juventus", it's more the "it's a completely normal thing that many people do on this forum/in real life but I seem to be singled out for it" thing. I shouldn't have to justify absolutely anything I give my enthusiasm towards, whether it be a sports team or a band or a Chinese take away or whatever. But here we are. Time and time again.
The Dankula reference is more to the "lol its just funny" reasoning used. If I've caused offence for seemingly comparing it to anti-semitism then I apologise. Not my intention.
But this is what we get. I'm expressing exasperation at having to see this nonsense any time I mention a football team. I've tried the back and forths, I've tried the ignorance, but still, here we are.
So yeah, it's bordering on that.
Gman pmed me a "I will only ask you once and I don't want any argument". I'm afraid I will only ever react one way to something like that, if I don't think I've been out of line. And I don't think that at all - I think others have been out of line. I simply have no choice. It's just what I think I can bring to this forum and what people like reg, jonb, etc think it's about is simply radically different. It's just a category error now.Diluted Dante wrote:There's really no reason to leave over this Gonz.
Don't know if you'll read this or care, but the thing you've apologised for is exactly the point here. A couple of jokes on their own might well be funny, after all the shit you've already given Gav on this they aren't. No one's trying to stop jokes.legaldinho wrote:So I don't apologise for the jokes, only the background against which they happened, which is my fault.
However, it is pretty clear the consensus is pretty much that I shouldn't make jokes like this. So this forum just isn't for me, I'm afraid.

G has stuff to do but I absolutely expect my account to be deleted in his own convenience and he knows that. I ask because if it's not deleted, I know I'll post again, it's compulsive at this stage. And I will do a Bianconeri joke too, if I come up with one that's as funny as the capers/ tagliatelle thief or risotto oneDiluted Dante wrote:There's really no reason to leave over this Gonz.
