Reports of overly paranoid middle-class types in East Dulwich

[DaveR]

"Ha ha. A 'professional illustrator' complaining about people being too middle class??"

and also the proprietor of 'Neil's Cool Guitar School', don't forget

cock

[LadyDeliah]

Wow, some fairly aggressive responses to a few snarky comments about the middle classes of ED.

One might conclude that a nerve or two were being touched!

[El Pibe]

Hardly. Looks more like belittling some 0/10 twattish trolling to me.

[The Minkey]

"cock"

Let's start a racist thread and see if that's better received shall we? Bigotry is bigotry, regardless who is on the receiving end.

That was the effect I was aiming for. The OP left him/her self wide open to a good belittling.

So you really think the comments of the OP are on a par with racist abuse of an often disadvantaged minority?

Oh Dear God!

C'mon, enough 'publicity' for (ahem) Cool Guitar School, (daddio)

Let it sink.

It just makes me laugh when people get so angry at middle-class stereotypes which although might be mildly offensive (not that I think these are), don't have any discernable negative impact on their employment / education / life prospects etc.

The strength of the reactions to this stuff always amuses me.

[Otta]

If racism / sexism / homophobic comments were not son unacceptable in today's society, the OP would have used them LadyD.

He started this thread purely to get a rise, which he (surprisingly given the quality of his effort) got.

Most of us are just taking the piss out of a poor attempt at trolling.

[LadyDeliah]

Yes some of the responses were funny without any images of the poster's spittle flecked keyboards popping into my head, but others, well, what can I say?

[Jeremy]

Surprised the OP even warranted a single response.

But I guess after a string of posts about essentially nothing, it was inevitable that the thread would gravitate towards the favourite forum subject of "isms".
