    I asked you a question earlier, the same question twice in fact. Curious to what makes you presume that you can continue to ask me questions and receive an answer yet feel you should not return the courtesy?

    Forgive me if im not reading every single post in the thread i dont spend my whole day refreshing it ;):rolleyes:

    Paul Murphy is a thug through his actions of encouraging others to verbally and physically harass 2 innocent women.

    In fact verbal harassment projected at both of them on the day of the protest and since then on social media was pretty damn disgusting. Do you disagree? Would you be happy having your Mother, sister or Daughter to go through what they have had to while simply doing their jobs regardless of how people feel about their performance?

    That is not what I asked you.

    If I was at a stage where I cared enough about a wrong that needed righting, I would have no problem taking to the street in a peaceful manner.

    Could you be a little bit more specific? What exactly did he say or do that give him "thug status" in the eyes of WTP?

    A thug is a pretty derogatory label to pin on someone, so if you could do me a favour and list some specific cases where Murphy indulged in a bit of the old thuggery, I'd be much obliged.

    Would you stop traffic and inconvenience drivers?

    Like the Pensioners, Taxi Drivers, Farmers, Students, Civil servants etc etc etc have all done before the Water protesters who wound up in court did?

    Did Murphy actually do that?

    Engaging in defamation, tut tut. As for this 'You silly Billy' what does name calling add to the thread?

    Your right it is a derogatory term. If that cap fits though.

    Name calling Haha. You've latched on to some bizarre idea that I'm emotional. So yes it's silly.

    You'd have to 'assume' that somebody was 'upset' when they start calling, not only people they don't know but other posters names, eh?

    Can you offer any proof to this allegation? Even if true it's not thuggish behaviour it's abhorrent but not thuggish.

    I was sneered for mentioning a different case of public disorder as 'whataboutery ' so I'll pass on your hypothetical example.

    If you don't go to the trouble of following politics in Ireland that really is on you.

    No, it was a calm question directed at people who were engaging in what can best be described as amateur physcology when they positively claimed that Murphy was 'disappointed not to go to jail'. And you got upset because I said it.

    I have no interest in Murphy, personally or his politics. So I am not 'emotional' about the man at all.

    You do realise calling someone a thug can be construed as defamation. Emotional no, but certainly a focused dislike for Murphy when he was one of 6 accused.

    Just go back to the first page of the thread as news broke of the verdict, to see the 'emotional' reactions.

    Sue me so.
    Thug, coward, Liar, hypocrite.
    I'm not emotional now?. That's a relief.

    You're either unwilling, or unable to answer a straightforward question.

    My bets it's the latter though.


    I don't agree with plenty of our elected TD's politics, but that has never made me feel I can go carte blanche on labelling then with derogatory labels.

    You're claiming Murphy has engaged in thuggery, yet won't give any examples of him doing so.

    Quite a strange stance to adopt I must say.

    Paul labeled himself 'I was elected to break the law'....

    Thug. Actions and words.

    Oh the whole jobstown incident. Did you hear about that. Check the news. Plenty of videos on YouTube.

    Disappointed, but not surprised, none of the Murphy fans have even responded to my post about what actually happened in court. Rather stick to Murphy's narrative. The problem with trying to make a few mistakes into a major conspiracy is that it destroys credibility for future complaints that are real. And his complaint about defamation has made him look silly and petty. He could have turned this verdict into a big win but he has come out the other side looking like a loser.

    That someone can act like a child and get other people banned from a thread is ridiculous. But boards rarely surprises.
