2yearpostie the time has come for your to be removed from this forum. Please moderators do the right thing.
If he breaks the rules we will. But we don't remove members just because they have a different view. An echo chamber is far more destructive than an open discussion.
I understand your point but he is spamming multiple threads and taking them off topic.

He's deliberately trying to wind members up and really dragging the whole site down.

I have a lot of time for this site and I've been on here for 15 years but it's becoming pointless posting on here unfortunately.

Although I've been around for quite a while, I only decided recently to join this forum. Allowing one delusional narcissist to disrupt things is enough for me to longer use and be part of what seemed a good resource.

If there’s anything this job has taught me; it’s that there’s a large percentage of the public that are really quite thick. Most of them don’t have a clue how the world works on even the most basic level. They operate in their own little one-dimensional bubbles, oblivious to those around them - only concern being themselves.
Much like most of the staff that have only ever worked at Royal Mail.
Can’t argue some are like that 2IQ.

When I was on the picket line, I couldn't believe how many people drove across ours to get their parcels. Just shows how little people care about us. People are so detached from the real world. :no no
Why, what would you have expected, a round of applause from the public or even a general reluctance to cross the picket line? :roll:
If you expected anything more then maybe it's you who's detached from the real world?
The point I'm making is that the public don't give a s**t.

Generally that is correct.Thats why it makes me laugh when people think we need to get the public "onside."Its only when things personally affect someone that they ever give a fig.

Ignorance, on a grand scale.

That, and the fact 90% of the public are nothing more than performing Seals for the establishment, goes some way to explaining why our country is such a mess right now.

Just add him to your "Foe" list. You'll no longer see his posts (unless someone quotes him) and life becomes a lot less stressful. :thumbup

He's just Trolling for a bite. As I used to tell the kids when they went to school, "If someone's annoying you just ignore them"! :cuppa
Like all Wage Slaves, he had two crosses to bear: The people he worked for and the people he worked with! (Stephen Vizinczey.)

Interesting. So how would you have that 90% reacting in your view of the World?

A general level of ignorance towards what's actually happening in the world is not something to champion.

No indeed, but people not reacting in the way you might wish them to doesn't necessarily equate to ignorance of the subject.
"What's actually happening" is subjective at best.

I don't think anyone is looking for a specific reaction, just some kind of reaction other than ignorance and apathy.

Ignorance and apathy are dangerous no matter what side of the political fence you happen to sit.
