Soup throwing again

Over Posie Parker (as was. Kelly forgot the rest of her name)
On her NZ tour.

I dont do links, but it's probably easy to find.

The person who threw it followed up with a quick speech, saying something like she wished it was blood, or next time it should be blood. I couldnt really hear clearly.

Why such vitriol and violence?

(If there is another thread about this, apologies.)

Funnily enough, I'm having a late lunch of Parsnip and curry soup, with cheese bread. Delicious.
Took a lot of stirring to get it right.

Ok Let's start with a bit of history. The first sex clinic for treating transgender patients was in Berlin in the 1930s-Guess who shut it down, imprisoned and tortured anyone they considered to be deviant or sexually questionable- the Nazis! So maybe it is just coincidence they turn up at the rallies organised by Posie Parker, but she should be aware that for many people her views align with those of the Nazis and this time those people aren't going to go quietly

There are police at the New Zealand rally they eventually take her away in a police car after escorting her to it.
She obviously also has her own security team.

As for feminism. No true feminist condemns someone because they want to change gender. After all some of those they are condemning they regard as women. They just don't want to talk about them but transmen do exist.

Worcester sauce anyone?

It adds a little piquancy but it might stain your clothes.

Phallic black pepper ๐Ÿ† FC?
Did you mean this? I was put off making moussaka when I learned what it represents for some people.

FannyCornforth Thu 30-Mar-23 15:01:02

Iโ€™ve got bread sticks too.
And Parmesan.
And one of those huge phallic black pepper things.
Bon appetite!

If someone talks rubbish and someone else tells them its rubbish, that's not bullying.

That's tough love. smile

And who decides what's rubbish or not?

I don't believe any of your putdowns to other posters come from a place of love.......tough or otherwise.
Just because someone's inflated ego assures them of their 'rightness' it doesn't necessarily hold true.wink

Mollygo Thu 30-Mar-23 14:58:38

And actually V3 is right. In school claiming that they are always right is one of the excuses bullies use for regularly attacking others.
Children donโ€™t call it tough love though, just โ€˜sorting them out.โ€™

I like a bit of garlic, please, FannyC, the stronger the better.

It is supposed to keep vampires away.

I find the bullies are those who, whilst negating anything anyone else says, on whatever topic, then complain about bullies.

Ilovecheese Thu 30-Mar-23 14:31:31

So if we put aside Posie Parker

What had the other woman done wrong to get attacked?

volver3 Thu 30-Mar-23 14:04:01

No, I never feel bullied on GN. I find that some people try to indulge in bullying behaviour, such as prolonged personal attacks, and in the past I've thought I've had enough of this, can't be bothered any more.

But now I think I'll just hang on and just say my piece smile

Bullying translates to, not everyone agrees with me.
Bullying translates to, how can people possibly think Iโ€™m wrong.

Rosie51 Thu 30-Mar-23 13:51:44

Volver I've left because of the bullies before. Its not going to happen again.
Are you seriously saying you were bullied? Can't say I ever noticed anyone bullying you. I have noticed a bullying attitude from you towards other posters, especially those you consider beneath your self-proclaimed authority and knowledge, who happen to disagree with you. Can you elucidate in what way you were bullied? I know you always like evidence, oh except when you're claiming someone has been arrested and on their way to court........

Oh dear.

Do you talk like that to everybody you don't like?

I've left because of the bullies before. Its not going to happen again.

I assume thatโ€™s a question to me?
If it is: then the answer is no! Iโ€™m far more brutal and honest.

volver3 Thu 30-Mar-23 13:35:46

Reporting spree.

This is fun. smile

I'm in favour of free speech for all whatever their views. Rather than limit free speech I'd prefer schools to educate people to be more discerning in their analysis of what is said and to be alert to trigger words designed to whip up feeling. I have no time for people who want to be perpetually outraged.

Well said.

volver3 Thu 30-Mar-23 13:18:59

I know what scaremongering and misinformation there has been.

Examples? (After the oven of course wink)
