Avatar with @steevbishop & G1 was excellent fun. Oh yes indeed. #
@SamShepherd @Sulman Yup, and yup. #
Anyone following the nonsense over at Nixsight last night/today will be glad to know that I'm not going to engage the guy any more… #
…at the point when he deleted his original comment, & now claims that there is some kind of code required on my site to leave new ones… #
…well, it's become obvious that he's either actually mental, or else intelligent enough to be utterly manipulative. #
BUT if I CHOSE to worry about rape risk I'd say the guy who idealises & politicises women to the extent that they are no longer individuals, #
…& feels some vocational right to protect women from all other men MIGHT be one worth steering clear of. #
@Al_Ewing FLASH! I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the earth! (God, love Frank Sidebottom!) in reply to Al_Ewing #
Might sound odd, but could somebody please jump onto this post: http://is.gd/6pPbK – & see if it'll let you comment. "Test" will do. #
…Somebody is claiming that it won't let them comment, & tho I think that they are an unreliable source, I'd rather know for sure. #
@davidwynne Huh. So it isn't specifically an anti-feminist thing, then. Thanks, David. in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne Huh. My site decided for some reason that the chap commenting was Spam. Retroactively. Must know something I don't. in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne It's okay – in the absence of the ability to post on my site, he's just continued talking over at his. Have you been following? in reply to davidwynne #
Reading comments over at this blog post, am starting to remember that sometimes the disturbed can appear to be almost sane… #
@davidwynne …did you get as far as the bit about "child molestation being as normal as rape"? As bad as that sounds, it's misleading… in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne …the actual context is MUCH more telling than the initial statement suggests. See, NOW I feel guilty for being angry with him. in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne …I had assumed I was being attacked by the relatively able-minded. in reply to davidwynne #
@steevbishop Oh, I am. I just got a message that the comments weren't working, & that's a genuine issue. It turns out they weren't! Sort of. in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop I'm glad I took the time to actually read his last couple of replies on his site, though. Puts a helpful perspective on it. in reply to steevbishop #
Right, it's definitely time for bed. So much for masturbating, then. Sigh. Stupid internet. #
@steevbishop I know! It's stupid, really – I must be an atypical man, because all that talk of rape really turned me off! in reply to steevbishop #
@davidwynne I was getting that vibe from him from early on, but rather worried that I was having a knee-jerk reaction to him… in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne …Pretty glad my instinct turned out right. I'm sure you're right about the head-off neck-shittery! in reply to davidwynne #
@acheverton You're right, of course. The plus side is I now think I could write a potential serial-killer on the turn with more confidence. in reply to acheverton #
Right. Walking the dog with G1. Should be fun! It's a lovely, sunny day. #
@acheverton Lols… you're naughty! in reply to acheverton #
@SorenLorensen What's… going on? Are you ill? in reply to SorenLorensen #
@jhewlett Oh, wow… Modern Family is REALLY good, isn't it? I have @acheverton to thank for that long-shot. in reply to jhewlett #
Thankfully, the dude has decided that he's done with speaking to people who don't agree with him. So that should be an end to it. #
He decided that, incidentally, soon after I'd already told him I wouldn't be engaging in conversation with him any more. So impotent, then. #
You know, if anything, I think this whole distraction has made me MORE sex-positive. And YAY! I like women! Even more than before! #
@belledejour_uk Out of interest, did you read the "Why Men Use Prostitutes" article at the Guardian? http://is.gd/6rHPY... #
@belledejour_uk …I ask because I ended up in a bit of an odd discussion about it. I apparently have a Happy Hooker delusion. #
…Actually… Happy Hooker Delusion. Ha! I like that. If I ever write about a band… #
@sulman I'm assuming you'll see the funny side that I do in the response to your comment? It's a bit abusive, tho, so happy to delete. #
@SamShepherd You surprise me. I'd have thought all woman would appreciate being wrapped in plastic to protect them from all of the rapists. in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd (Or in other words – oh yes. We're down the rabbit hole now, people…) in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd @davidwynne put it best when he said the guy is a "fascist & a sex-phobic anti-queer bigot"… in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd What I got throughout reading his words was that old piece of wisdom: "Never trust someone who tells you you can trust them." in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd … Or in other words, the only guys women need to worry about are the ones like him. in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd The whitemale who raped him as a manchild was sex-positive, 'cos he wanted sex & was positive he was going to get it… in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd …see? Clever! in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd Ha! Super glad. I believe what I said in it now even more than I did when I said it… in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd If people who think that any lie is acceptable to make their point, we should CERTAINLY speak up about it! in reply to SamShepherd #
@Chris_TOMP Are you saying I'm gay? in reply to Chris_TOMP #
@Chris_TOMP (Teehee!) in reply to Chris_TOMP #
@Chris_TOMP Heh. Being gay would be the worst thing in the world for me. I don't even like my OWN penis. I'd be self-hating. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
@Chris_TOMP MORE self-hating, I mean. Women SHOULD love each other. They have those lovely curvy bodies. & VAGINAS! in reply to Chris_TOMP #
@Chris_TOMP I think that's what I like the most about women's. They are hidden away, like all sex apparatus should be. Sex is bad. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
@Chris_TOMP It's insisted on in our house. Only @JamesMOMB forces me to touch him without protection. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
@rolhirst Oh, god, it hasn't for bloody ages. I think Twitter thinks it's spam. I should get on that. in reply to rolhirst #
Does anybody know whether there are other utility companies than Southern Water in Hampshire? Is water still Government run? #
@rolhirst Or arguing with collection agencies on the phone? in reply to rolhirst #
I have just told a collection agency that if they want to take me to court, or send collection agents round, that's up to them. Not paying. #
…It was not the sort of conversation I am used to having. I am normally polite TO A FAULT with these fuckers. But I don't owe the money. #
Worse, I put this matter to rest with Southern Water with a payment last year. The arrangement was that my name be taken off the bill… #
…But because they have changed collection agencies, records of that deal have been lost. #
Rather than acknowledge their mistake, they are digging in, like a parasitic tick. #
@SorenLorensen Onwards and upwards, eh? in reply to SorenLorensen #
@davidwynne Done already… I spoke to them recently, & need to put my position in writing. in reply to davidwynne #
What bugs me most is, you don't pay a collection agency to do something that you could do yourself. The guy who ACTUALLY owes them money… #
…has as uncommon a name as mine, & should be easy as hell to find, but the idiots keep calling me over & over because they have my number. #
He's even actually got an account with Southern Water himself at his own address, or did have a year ago when this started. #
@hattiehattie '"Have Your Say" is unavailable for this story.' Idiots. in reply to hattiehattie #
@davidwynne And they've denied the ability to quickly and painlessly correct them/call them on it! in reply to davidwynne #
