GBV: We as men are the problem, says Springboks legend Bryan Habana

[Splinter]

Mr. Subversive taking you all for a **** again

He/she is being a bit annoying with the blanket accusations.

 

[Flanders]

I'm going to do my part and go full Habana at the next guy braai I go to. Nothing says 'good to see you in the flesh again, buddy' like an elbow bump and a lecture.

You are not answering my question or assumption at all. Merely accusing me (and others) without substantiation. Which I think is the point.

Ok Splinter, as said, I won't be drawn into your games.

 

[Splinter]

Ok Splinter, as said, I won't be drawn into your games.

For crying in a bucket. What games? I'm calling you out on what you are stating. If you are going to run away, do so. At least have the effing integrity to do that without trying to make it like it's because of me.

It's farking cowardly. I'm actually quite pissed off right now. Thought you had more spine than this.

Ok Splinter. You're asking me if i'm a woman who has been abused and then getting angry that I don't respond to your questions? This is the treatment women get? You don't deserve or are entitled to an answer. You're highlighting the problem with "some men" right here. So entitled.

Ok Splinter.

Ok Splinter.

If you don't bother to answer me truthfully, and then backhandedly accuse me as well, I've got fark-all inclination to look at your cherry-picked link. You keep on waving whatever flag it is you are flapping about. And don't whine in future that nobody wants to really listen to what you are saying.

Splinter, you are behaving very toxically, please watch yourself.

 

[ponder]

We're all a potential GBVer. Regardless of nature or nurture. Ticking timebombs.

Speak for yourself.

Or what? BTW - no such word as "toxically"

 

[Splinter]

Splinter, you are behaving very toxically, please watch yourself.

And you avoid answering truthfully, again. Just more accusations. Please watch yourself - but, like, really, really, watch yourself.

Although, one might almost take this as a threat. I'm suspicious this way.

Edit: PM sent

Splinter, I was not going to engage with you but perhaps it's better that I do for educational purposes and for the good of society.

1) Toxically is most definitely a word. You can find that out for yourself.
2) Or what? Or nothing, i'm not threatening you. I'd just like you to be aware of your behaviour. A lot of people aren't, which leads to things like GBV.
3) I implore you to look at your posts in this thread, have you been behaving in a fitting manner? Listen to your tone. Why so confrontational? Why so demanding? Why so angry?

Edit: 4) Please don't PM me. Everything can be discussed right here. I've heard that you have a tendency to PM people but I will not be drawn into that either. All my replies will be here in public.

My bad. Had no idea it had been allowed into the English language.

As for my behaviour, I'm trying to make you aware of yours, which you clearly are not. But I see you are implying, once again, that my "lack of awareness" will lead to GBV.

As for my tone - you are a goading little specimen. I see what you are doing. It's funny, but at the end of the day, destroys any credibility you have here.

Do you think my tone will lead to violence?

And thank you. It seems my participation will educate and better society.

I don't think I've had such a compliment, like, ever.

That's ok, I know a lot of words.

Splinter, I don't know if your tone would lead to violence but if someone were to get angry (particularly someone you might now know) would you generally want to stick around to find out? It would probably be best not to? Agree? Of course that doesn't apply here since you getting angry would just mean flipping your desk or some such but more in terms of reality.

Umm, avoiding as usual.

Ok splinter. You’re clearly not willing to engage. Let me know when you are.

 

[Splinter]

Ok splinter. You’re clearly not willing to engage. Let me know when you are.

You have refused to answer my question. Are you male, female, or transgender?

Engage.

 

[azbob]

You have refused to answer my question. Are you male, female, or transgender?

Engage.

Splinter, a engagement can not just be on your terms. You have refused to answer many of my questions in this thread but I have not gotten angry or thrown a tantrum?

I do not need to answer your question since it adds nothing to this discussion. I could be any of those and the point remains the same. If this was on objection in a court of law, it would be sustained.

Let me know when you're willing to engage.

This is not a court of law. You are hiding. Which gives you no credibility.

You have not answered my one and only pertinent question.

But, let me engage - what are the "many" questions you have posed to me that I have not answered? Excluding all the baseless emotive accusations of course.

Then, if I answer one of your questions, will you answer mine?
