You haven't answered my question yet.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

So what exactly is your point ? What are you after achieving ? it seems as though you go down one direction then change & go off on another without rhyme or reason, to what end ? I & I believe others would like to know who & what you are & what you're about. Is that to much to ask ?

Is it true, Dave, you were once one of the Pope's Altar Boys?

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

As an M P he was very fair in dealing with the problems of all his constituents.I praise him for that.

In many other ways he was a trouble-maker and didn't come across as a reconciler and peace-maker to put it mildly.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

In a short word yes. Seems that this person is more confused than a sober alcoholic. Though he must be having the biggest crisis of faith since it was revealed that Jesus n Mary Magdiline had whoopy. ;)

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

First quote of whom? I've just quoted you, do you mean your first post? I only ask because I'm not going on a search again with dye in my eyes if I'm not sure what I'm looking for :D

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Have done & it still doesn't really elucidate matters, if you wish to make a stand (equally & fairly) against bigotry, there are "instances" aplenty here if you so choose How about Muslims, the Police, the Judiciary & many more to boot, they all come in for a slating why aren't you defending them ?

And Tealeaf, NO ! the closest I was to Holiness & Alter boys was being on the lash outside Köln Cathedral, many moons ago. :)

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

I know you mean your first post but in that you refer to reading other posts on Accyweb that you don't seem too keen on. I just wondered which posts you had perused that had upset you or caused you to think they were bigoted.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Well I cant fall into the bigot fold based on my convo with my mate wiki;

The exact origin of the word is unknown, but it may have come from the German bei and gott, or the English by God. William Camden wrote that the Normans were first called bigots, when their Duke Rollo, who when receiving Gisla, daughter of King Charles, in marriage, and with her the investiture of the dukedom, refused to kiss the king's foot in token of subjection - unless the king would hold it out for that specific purpose. When being urged to do it by those present, Rollo answered hastily "No, by God", whereupon the King, turning about, called him bigot, which then passed from him to his people.[1] This is quite probably fictional, as Gisla is unknown in Frankish sources. It is true, however, that the French used the term bigot to abuse the Normans.[2].
The twelfth century Charlotte B J Anglo-Norman author Wace claimed that bigot was an insult which the French used against the Normans, but it is unclear whether or not this is how it entered the English language.[3]
According to Egon Friedell, "bigot" is of the same root as "visigoth". In Vulgar Latin, the initial v transformed into b (a phenomenon today encountered in Iberian languages, such as Spanish and Portuguese; visi had truncated into bi in Vulgar Latin (a phenomenon common in French and Portuguese).[1][2]

A bigot (in modern usage) is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own or intolerant of people of different ethnicity, race, or class.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

I fully agree with you. I am against all forms of bigotry , especially racism.

However , I didn't note any of these other forms on past forums on Accy Web.

If you can indicate any I will address them.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

and I've asked you to indicate the ones that you didn't like:D

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Sorry , no answer now . I'll have to look back over them and it takes time.

Re: Bigotry on the web.

Re: Bigotry on the web.

She is Head of the Church of England , not the international Anglican Communion.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Thanks for sympathy , Spuggie.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

So anyone raised and watered in the Church of England but now living abroad cannot have her as the head of Church.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Because it's roasting it's chesnuts :D

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Yes if he/she is a member of the Church of England.

If you move to Wales and decide to be a member of the Church of Wales the queen is not the head of that Church.

It's not easy to sort out the intricacies of the Anglican Communion of which the Church of England is a part along with many others e.g. Scottish Episcopalian Church.

Not quite ...

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

In your first post of this thread you find a need to admonish accyweb and it's members:-


As I pointed out in this post in another thread:-


http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/816308-post2.html

It's not up to us to go searching, you, accuse accyweb members of being full of Bigotry, you, should at least put in the effort to prove that you aren't just stirring a dark brown soup with a wooden spoon.

Oh and by the way if you actually do find and prove these things, I will repeat a suggestion put to you earlier,

If you don't like what we do or represent then leave, we won't miss you, honest.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

I wouldn't have started a thread like his in the first place DH:rolleyes:

So long as you don't start talking to them Jen, or SPUGS will have you certified:D

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Greetings Dave , The continuous changes in direction are caused by the continuous changes in direction of the questions I am being asked.I try to answer the questions I am asked , but they are of such a varied nature, so I can understand your confusion.

The questions and comments I receive are , on the whole , not related to the initial comments I made when I started this thread.However , if you read the questions and comments I have received , you ought to realise that my initial comments were well-founded.
You will find a high level of intolerance , cheap jibes , accusations made without evidence to back them up , sneering at practices different from one's own etc. etc.
Many of the opinions sent to me are argumentum ad hominem , which is often an excuse to cause diversion because the opinions are held without any facts to validate them.
One sad person on Accy Web appears to take pride in being a bigot and intolerant.
As I have said before Accy Web has the potential to be a good source for local knowledge , reasoned debate and respectful discussion.Include also the banter and jokes , but any good comedian will get you to laugh with , not at others.
Unfortunately Accy Web is largely made up of a clique which lives in its own little world , with its own little minds and its own little knowledge of logic , the English language , the real world's vastness of ideas and questionings which give spice to life.Remain there if you wish , cossetted in your pathetic smugness , or open up.Be welcoming.Encourage those to participate though you may not share their outlook on life.Be magnanimous and you will grow richer in wisdom and tolerance.
Note that in the above paragraph I wrote "largely made up of".There are those on this web who do display that they have intelligence and large-heartedness.Hoping not to embarass him , I refer you to Graham Jones' letter in last week's Observer , as an example of this positive and generous attitude I desire to see more of.
So come on Accy Web members.Get real.Lets make something great out of this enterprise.
Meanwhile I shall remain strong in my Christian Faith.I shall not be ashamed to be called a Socialist.I shall be pleased to remain an Accringtonian because my roots are here , though I mourn for its sad decline over the past few decades.I pray that I shall be around for a few more years yet.

JCB is you that needs to get real, yer calling folk you have no idea about, only your deluded reasonings from the net, you really are a sad individual.

What a beautiful farewell speech.

Goodbye.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Come on, then....name this sad person.

Re: Bigotry on the web.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Kum bay ya, my Lord.

Kum bay ya.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Oh Dear....well JCB knows what I mean. Or at least I hope he does.

You can't trust computers these days.

Oh...and whats Rindy jabbering on about? He's in his own little world, as usual.

i'm not reading through the whole thread... are we supposed to believe what he believes or let everyone believe what they want to without arguing or making fun of them?

Hang on a mo Wyn ! JCB has taken part of my quote in post 202, into his answer in post 261, but not boxed it off. Tealeaf has then taken the statements out & boxed them in his post 264, which you've now latched onto & taken a partial quote , giving the impression that the statement :-

Came from me ! Believe me mate it hasn't, Cashy picked it up in post 265 ! Oh dear what a kerfuffle :o

Sorry, mate! I was well aware it wasn't you...I just messed up the quote thing. Hadn't noticed that it still said "DaveinGermany" at the top. Karma sent in apology. :o

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

So now that's cleared up, let me rephrase the question -

Oi!...Godbotherer!...Who are you accusing of taking pride in being an intolerant bigot?

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

If he replies at all, expect a nursery level riddle.

He's too afraid to post anything as straightforward as an actual answer.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Ok when will JCB be back for the next round and round and round and round we go?

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

I think some of you are being a little too hard on JCB. He obviously has strongly held views - as so do many on here - and many of his views may seem incompatible with some of those members who have been on this site for longer. However, surely the principle should be that any new(ish) member should be treated on exactly the same basis as those who have been here for years.

JCB has professed his Christian beliefs. So What? There is nothing extreme about them. As far as I am aware, they are fully reconcilable with democratic debate and an open society so I don't see what the problem is. He may possibly have misinterpreted this website and even some of it's members but that is probably only through being a little clouded as to what it's about. He can't tell the comedians from the rest - but neither can I, and I've been on here for seven years. So give him time and don't be nasty to the guy.

Re: Bigotry on the web.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Seconded.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

horsecrap, he was amazed at the bigotry etc n continued in a similar vein, right from his first post.:rolleyes: so wadda ya expect? :rolleyes:

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Thanks for the compliment , garinda , but I am still here .

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Err...sorry Cashy, you're wrong. He started his first posts off with references to Christmas, terrorism and a priest..then he started laying in to HBC and the Tory/Lib-Dems which continued for a while. The bigot stuff was his first thread starter..personally, I thought it was rather innocuous which is why I gave it my usual flippant reply. However, subsequent contributions have turned it rather nasty and it's gone beyond the usual debate on ideas to one of personal attacks, which I find somewhat sad.

Re: Bigotry on the web.
 

Can't you read the forum?If so do so and find the name yourself.

yep i know, should have put it clearer, in fact i even helped the guy in n earlier thread which he never started, but its how i see it wi this un simple as.
