I dicovered that if Rachelswipe posts a pretty racist comment
she won't get ripped apart anything like as badly as other people have done in the past.

I'm not going to point anything out and call myself a racist but we have our own flavourful names here.
I once met a Tyquasia.

I meant to comment on that making her sound thick
but you are right, that was pretty racist

Don't worry
I'm sure she'll pop in and tell us she was just trolling us, darlings.

I can't believe I didn't spot that before
of course it was trolling
(, Thu 19 May 2011, 13:25, Reply)
She's so good at trolling
it's almost impossible to spot that what she writes isn't completely serious and her genuine opinion.

I dunno
RSwipe really does exist in her own little bubble, I wouldn't put it past her to be annoyed with people for not having more considerate surnames.

I think that's more because everyone was done with the thread
than because it was Rswipe. I did give it a go but no-one joined in.
(, Thu 19 May 2011, 13:11, Reply)
It might be something to do with her having phenomenally large jugs and a penchant for 'the boaby'
and this being the internet.

Just a guess though.

well.
i thought racism was thinking badly of people based on their race, colour, creed, and justifying your treatment of them accordingly.

whinging in a flippant manner because you admit at the outset that you are too ignorant to understand names in other languages, and this is making your job a nightmare because it is impossible to understand from a long string of emails who is who, when the correspondents all address each other by different names depending on their relationship... how is that treating people differently? they're getting exactly the same help/advice as if they were called 1, 2 and 3, and paying the same fee for it, and i'm taking them for the same "get to know your client" lunch... in fact, they are getting better treatment because i've had to spend 2 hours longer on it for free trying to work out who all the individuals are, and i can't bill for that!

come on al, let's hear your explanation of how that is racist, i am genuinely intrigued.
(, Thu 19 May 2011, 14:08, Reply)
genuinely?
because you used the word "Asian". You might not have meant it to sound prejudiced, but that's what makes it racist.

If your problem genuinely is with people constantly using different versions of their name in the same document (e.g. "Miss Swipe" , "Rswipe", "rach" etc) then why on earth did you need to mention their ethnicity?
(, Thu 19 May 2011, 14:21, Reply)
genuinely?
because i am "an ignoramus" about asian names, not being from any asian culture. and these names in these documents are asian. it was a specific whinge about a specific task. where do i say that the clients are inferior or should be treated badly because of it? i say sarcastically that they should change their names so i can cope with it, which is clearly not a serious comment.

you say lots of things on here that are clearly not serious comments; does that make you a nasty little hypocrite, or does it make you someone who is letting off a bit of steam on here after a shit morning's work?
(, Thu 19 May 2011, 14:31, Reply)
steady
I never said I seriously thought you were racist. I just told you why that makes your post racist.

At no point have I said I took your post seriously. You often put posts up that are deliberately inflammatory, as do I, looking for a rise, you/I provide one back, bit of debate, repeat ad infinitum. What's the big upset about this one?
