Thread: Should we have a dedicated "old TV users pick on each other thread'

I think that with the new "old" members of TV who have personal grudges with each other and keep bringing up the same shite over and over again that maybe DD should setup a separate room for them or at least a thread where tehy can put their TV based stuff at each other into rather than starting threads about it all the time.


Good idea or crap idea?

We don't have a bone to pick with each other - and its nothing to do with Thai visa.

Eg the one member we're currently hounding is someone we're trying to encourage to do something creative and useful, instead of merely spouting yak yak about how gifted he is.

We've supported him in the past, given him a handful of leads and contacts. But he's still diverting creative energy largely into crappywebforums.com

There's no excuse for it, no clever rhetoric to disguise it.

Bullshit.

You are using the above as an excuse for your tiresome jibes and online provocation.

As pointed out by many wiser and less blinkered than myself, I have stupidly allowed you to use me as a source for your tabloidesque online mockery and a diversion from your own katoey infactuation which you just can't let go, it's all you ever go on about - katoey's, gays and now underage girls - though you can't use me as a pawn for the latter.

'Bored at home with wife and kids Blake? Me too! ...Let's invite Scampy out, we'll pay for his drinks, get him pissed and he'll do or say something we can take the piss out of on the forum, cause that's the type of mates we are and thankfully, he has too much faith in people to see that'.

It's a safe bet that having learned from my lesson we will have no further 'meet ups' (we have only met a couple of times I should add) because you now have nothing to gain from it.

Don't use 'Oh we've tried to help him' as an excuse, because that's just pathetic. I am working full time in China on 350 UKP a week for the next 7 months as well as writing a monthly column, I still have a long way to where I want to be but it will all fall into place and I'm sure you do have potential contacts but why would I want to use them, how could I trust you and more's the point - why would you want to help me?

If we were all at school, which given both aspects of our imaturity we easily could be, then you would be the bully and I would be the poor sucker who just wanted to be liked.

Not once have we had a serious conversation and not once have you given me the oppertunity because you couldn't care less. I'm nothing more than a jester in your eyes and when regarded as such I have no motivation to prove otherwise, especially if the drinks are free.

To answer the question in title: No we shouldn't, but it seems we do.

Why anyone would want to pick on or bully anyone is beyond me and should I hope be beyond anyone mature enough to leave all that shit behind to live in Asia.

Much as I act it, I'm no fool - and when I can see genuine companionship between the lines then I will put my hand in my pocket as Blake will testify from our last meeting.... Sure it isn't much, but considering the wealth ratio plus the fact that it is I who have been invited out - it is my way of doing my bit.

The fact is, Moog doesn't actually like me (which is fine, not everyone will do) - BUT, I could maybe see that before he even could so what kind of mug would I have been (In my fiscal position at the time) to get the guy a drink?

It's a shame because I met him with an open mind, as I do everyone, and we have simiar interests.

(And I don't mean katoeys!)

He could have been a good contact and friend had he shown a little more forum decorum. I may not have much to offer but decency and loyalty I do, what's more they don't cost a thing.

What exactly here is he taking so personally?

The same online (personal) rubbish I have been taking from you for quite some time.

What i'm simply been trying to establish in various of your anecdotes is. Are you telling the truth or not? Given you've built a reputation on transparency.

<I freely admit that everything I write on most topics, especially sexual ones, is complete and utter bollocks>

You've reacted like some prima donna, saying you're being bullied.

Next time I hear negative comments from others, I can tell them to stop lying compulsively about you.

As for aggressive criticism - if you want to succeed in film, you better damn well get used to it, because thats the business. If it upsets you, choose another career.
