Why are leavers so angry

Why do you ask?

Short of a Xmas date perhaps?

You may have a point, since the avatar on the left of each post very clearly shows that poster's photo.
At least, I assume it to be of the poster in question.
It does not appear to be any celebrity I know.


Oh and my avatar is perhaps NOT the best likeness of myself.
Though there are similarities.

You're not white, male, heterosexual and reasonably comfortably off, are you?

If he says yes, are you going to school him on his privilege?

Cornucopia

I'm almost completely nothing like my avatar.

Maybe there's something a little foxy around the eyes?

Nobody got PPR'd for using the word remoaner, don't be silly.

Well I know of at least one because it was me! When I come back I'll show you the mods quote.

Weird. Conrad uses the word (if he manages to spell it correctly) every other post and never gets PPR'd.
You must be special.

Come on Renoman / dithering dad etc etc, your well versed in the ppr procedure.

Yeah, ironically some snowflakes reported him.

I don't have to agree with people. I frequently disagree with Hamish's posts.

But, I'd not report him or others, and I'd still buy him a pint

(...of English warm beer )

I too might disagree strongly, and that's putting it mildly, with a few on here but we don't get anywhere in exploring ideas if people are shut down from speaking their minds. I'd never report anyone out of principle. Sad that Generali and RT will no longer make me laugh, at least for the short term. A boring Xmas awaits!

Oh you made me look for an RT post before I noticed that.

Whilst I am in absolute agreement with your sentiments it is however of no great surprise, to me at least.
I cannot think of any other forum - certainly not one anywhere-near as well-used as this forum - where hate-filled posts such as those so regularly seen in this forum would be allowed.

Freedom of speech is one thing.
The incessant use of inflammatory language though in some threads here can only be described as hate speech.
Now there may be a place for such things to be posted but TBH this forum should not be one of them.
Not leastly from a purely legal POV, from the site owners' perspective.

Since this thread was started to discuss anger (ostensibely in those who voted to leave) it seems very appropriate to note those no longer posting and why.
Note, NOT discuss btw since that too may result in a ban.
