    Lot's of thought policing going on around after hours theses days.

    -Look at this story, i think it's a possible terrorist attack
    -where's you proof?
    -I don't have proof, I didn't say i know, I said i think it might be
    -you can't say that,
    -i think i can
    -no you can't, silence, how dare you suspect something without absolute proof, shame, racist, alt right, islamphobia!

    Backed up by the mods as well, welcome to after hours, boards new safe space. "The threads title offends me. Whaaa"

    Guess what people, aside from a few white knights, most who read that article this morning thought about the possibility of terrorism, after some of the recent terrorist attacks and attempt to deflect and cover up by the media, I'm still not convinced it isn't. This is the world we live in, where attacks are the norm and will keep happening. And there's always a bunch of people who will deny it to the end.


    or how about the thread title is a load of nonsense and somebody needs to say that? For somebody who goes on about safe spaces you dont seem keen on hearing opposing views.

    Once would have been enough, in my opinion.

    Good counter argument. You opinion is wrong because 'nonsense'.
    What I described is exactly how the thread went. Attack the poster, don't even discuss the issue. Shut down

    Thread is a car crash.
    Sorry, a potential car crash.

    nobody attacked the poster (ok some may have) but the majority were attacking the thread title and its use of the term "possible terrorist attack" when the article linked to said specifically that it wasnt. Pure clickbait to attract a certain crowd.

    There you go,

    Aw, you poor thing. Here, let me mend the fractals in your snowflake.

    There you go,
    Thanks.

    In future, use the Report Post (red triangle sign) function on the left of the post. Mods don't read every single post in every thread, so if you think something needs attention, please report the post and don't respond.

    a possible car crash. despite the complete absence of a car.

    [So come into the thread and say:

    I don’t think this is a terrorist attack because….”

    That’s what I did. You just come in, attack the poster, and cry about an unfair thread title and get the mods to change it. You don’t even discuss the topic itself. Why?

    I have been called a numpty and I demand redress.

    Well the timeline of events you posted are not based in reality. Ergo what you posted is nonsense.

    Clickbait title highlighting terrorism. Followed by a link in the same post that explicitly stated no links whatsoever to terrorism.

    Not my problem if you take it upon yourself to post nonsense in defence of nonsense. You also seem to have appointed yourself as some sort of forum police. Which is ironic the extreme given you're waffling so much about "shutting" things down.

    Thanks I'm all up for having arguments, but personal attacks. Should never go unabated or be accepted as a way of communicating with someone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,296 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Well Butter1979 - your back seat moderation has worked a treat.

    I've been given a big bad infraction.

    I hope that mends your fragile sensibilities.

    just man up and admit that you put up a clickbait title and this thread will die the death it should

    Will you learn not to post clickbait sensationalist attention seeking threads?

    Hope you're not insinuating that the Germans are responsible.

    Yeah... Such a personal attack. I hope the OP can recover from it.

    Mod:

    Cut out the immature nonsense lads. Thread title has been changed to reflect the news story in the OP. If you don't like it, there is a discussion about clickbait titles in Feedback here.

    Anyway, a retired missionary was murdered last night, in case any of you have forgotten.
