Keir Starmer at it again..

[Deutsch Wolf]

That you can write all the fan fiction you like, Corbyn was a disaster back in the real world.

What have I said that is fiction?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I haven't said anything about Starmer so not sure where this particular brand of whataboutery is coming from.

It's like arguing with Nadine Dorries about Boris

Well done Jez for only just losing to Theresa May.

"A straw man argument is a logical fallacy that involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument, often by exaggerating or oversimplifying it, to make it easier to attack.

The attacker then refutes this weaker, distorted version of the argument, as if it were the original, real argument. Essentially, the argument is a "straw man" because it's easy to knock down, like a scarecrow."

I've not said anything that isn't factually true, not sure why so many of you get so upset when he's brought up. It's weird.

Particularly when the conversation was about trying to overcome this worsening right wing narrative, him getting 12 million votes not so long ago is relevant.

It's ok, there are Wolves fans who still think Bruno Lage is a good manager.

Who's upset? And why do you always say it's 'weird' when people don't just automatically agree with 100% of what you say?

It's actually not 'weird', it's just what happens in a normal political exchange

Suggesting I'm like Nadine isn't arguing though is it? It's just snide, it offered nothing to the conversation at all, it didn't challenge or "argue" did it?

 

[sycophantia]

I'm starting to think EP and PK are the same person and just arguing with themselves.

I get criticised all the time for "the way I post" yet how often are there snipes like the one from PK below that offer nothing at all?

PK hadn't posted on the subject prior to that? Just popped on to have a poke.

And when I ask what I've said that's not true when told I'm posting fiction, I get some babble about Lage from DW.

Yes PK, it's weird.

Maybe engage properly, or don't bother?

It was just a mild piss take at the Corbyn culty stuff FFS

Oh right.

Nice one.

I wasn't even talking to you.

 

[prawnking]

Main character syndrome to the max

Must have missed the announcement of a new mod

 

[The Saturday Boy]

I wasn't even talking to you.

You weren’t talking to me either. You were just rehashing the same “joke” you always do that might have been mildly humorous once but loses impact when constantly repeated ad nauseum.

Doherty, Lage, Olifinjana etc…we know. Jim Davidson is still using his old material too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Alright mate, I'm not after a Chortle award.

You might not think it's funny, but what I do know is that Jeremy Corbyn was a disaster, no matter how much you might like to pretend otherwise.

Straw man argument again. I haven’t pretended, suggested or even loosely inferred anything about Jeremy Corbyn…that’s all in your head. I made a point about a general election result in the context of a particular post. The rest…you have just made up because you get a kick out of belittling other posters. That’s your style, you’re comfortable with it…don’t ever change.
