That's what riles me
the offensiveness is acceptable if it's witty, but when it's just a lame attempt at being 'edgy' it just comes across as a bit sad. Also, even with b3ta I do think there's a line. I wouldn't hesitate to make a dead baby joke, but if someone on here had just suffered a miscarriage I'd probably hold my tongue for a while.

Unless it was Blaireau69
in which case it's fair game.

harsh words Al
I don't like being mean to him so I put him on ignore so his supercilious posts don't annoy me anymore. I am so zen.

But that was me joking about joking about Blairea69s child dying
In reality I wouldn't actually post anything.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 24 Jun 2010, 11:02, Reply)

me neither
but mostly because he's on ignore.

Although he went on ignore after that apology for being irritating he posted a while ago, so I'm quite unforgiving.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 24 Jun 2010, 11:09, Reply)

he's still irritating

He is tedious, but I now know why his sense of humour might be struggling.
I didn't know about his child.

Just a second, I'm getting confused.
Last week Al started a thread which was essentially "I've just upset a recently bereaved person on the internet" which I understood to mean that he is a massive cunt. But then he posts some stuff that suggests that whilst he may indulge in a little light internet cunting, he's not entirely cunty in real life. However I can't help but think that his posts regarding Bertsexmonkey/Monty Boyce/Blaireu69 have slight element of "cuntiness is only acceptable when directed at people I don't like" which suggest cliquey cuntiness.
So Al, I hope I'm not being overly personal when I ask, what sort of cunt are you?

Perhaps a clear the air cunt amnesty is in order. We all declare the depth and specialist areas of cuntery, join hands and sing "We Are The World", and then we have a clean slate from which to start being rude about each other.

You're coming a little late to the party here
but my post the other day was about how I felt bad because a friend of a friend had recently been bereaved and I was not aware of this and posted an inappropriate comment on the friends facebook page which she then removed. Why does that make me a massive cunt?

I've been pretty clear that abstract jokes about offensive subjects, being very much teh norm here, are part and parcel of b3ta, what I'm objecting to with Bert is his continued attacks against Monty and becky with a direct insults about members of their family which he knows are very personal.

There is a world of difference between me saying that you are an extremely boring twat and, knowing that your daughter was just killed in a car crash, making comments, only to you, about children dying in car crashes.

Salient, and apt.. Didn't he do an awful Jessie joke?
It's the quite childish desire to be shocking simply to get attention that is so unnecessary as the boy can be very amusing. If only he had the confidence to be witty without that fallback of being offensive.

Yeah I've seen a couple of Jessie jokes
I never knew the girl, but I do think it's abhorrent to take the piss about it when a fellow b3tan is obviously devastated by it.

Maybe I should be nicer to him, he's probably a bit of a lamewad IRL.

You like curry, right?
you know sometimes you bite into something that tastes sort of bitter/sweet/nasty (probably a clove or dardomom pod) so you take a swig of beer, and get back into the korma. Bert's like that - interrupts your enjoyment, leaves a bad taste, but not enough to put you off your meal. It may be he is an essential spice, but I very much doubt it!
Christ, I'm hungry now.

I can't hack curry unfortunately
If I'm honest, Thai sweet chilli Sensations are about my limit!

I know, I know, I'm lame.

You like coronation chicken, right?
etc.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Thu 24 Jun 2010, 11:10, Reply)

I do but that's not really spicy
Korma is all I can take.

Although I've heard speak of something milder than a korma, a pasander?

I am male, and unable to help you here.

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Thu 24 Jun 2010, 11:13, Reply)

passandas are quite nice
tastier than a korma I would say.

I eat faals though, because I'm a man

I thought she would like the comparison
of Bert to something you might tread in outside a takeaway.

I can see how it panned out
He wanted to make a grandiose return to these pages with his gimmick being the guy too cool for school who'll say shocking things other people wouldn't dare. Deep down though I guess he's just a normal guy.

But his consistent dick-waving gets him involved in arguments where his irreverent "I don't give a shit" persona slips and he starts getting intensely personal while claiming not to. It's cringeworthy to read and I try and skip over most of it but his attitude has obviously taken him out of his depth at times.

I read them and I just think "oh god you're so sad".
