[R] Flamebaiting UK politics thread

Postby The Free Joy State » Tue Aug 11, 2020 6:54 am

This seems like a personal attack on Vassenor, particularly the part about "primary school reading courses", but I've highlighted both due to the cumulative effect (emphases mine):

Only one in ten to two in ten Brits have lactose intolerance.

Do you just like making up facts?

Vassenor wrote:
You do understand the difference between majority and plurality, right?

Yeah, that's why I said most, not a majority.

Back to primary school reading courses it is for you.

Just to add to the context, that the very same user still has an open and thus as yet unactioned report regarding his pretty extensive threadjack earlier as well: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=489683

Pointing their plastic finger at me
They're hoping soon, my kind will drop and die
But I'm going to wave my freak flag high

Not flamebaiting (at least I don't think?), but I did not want to make another thread.

Emphasis mine.

I voted for Brexit because I wanted British people to make decisions about the British economy and British immigration. I also voted for it because I wanted to see this country become a global power.

Almost nobody voted for Brexit for your "different reasons", "...". FACT. There is no such thing as a "British [person]" outside of the elite, WW2 fetishists, and Londoners.


It comes across more like an "all X are Y" statement.

"all X are Y" isn't actually a punishable offence on its own. What rule am I supposedly breaking here?

Technically, the rule against trolling, but I'm not seeing that as any more than rudeness.
