Victim Blaming

[Iron Curtain]

Howjy now says we all have to be silent and not upset the owner... otherwise he might decide to do irreparable damage to the club.

 

That’s classic victim blaming... like asking an abused person to stay quiet so as not to anger their abuser. If the speak up... it’s their fault what happens to them.

 

It’s the lowest form of Smurthwaite defence tactics I have seen so far and really spells out how desperate the SDL are to stop the momentum!

 

Don’t listen to a second of it.

Oh and making anything akin to any form of domestic abuse is pretty despicable even by your own very low moral standards.

 

No it wasn’t, it’s using an example to show the mind set and logic of a situation. If anything is despicable it you trying to play that card to ignore the argument made.

Howjy is welcome to voice his opinions and others are open to voice theirs. That was not a direct attack at Howjy himself more an opinion that he is talking *****.

Plus I don’t see any mention of domestic abuse, I feel in this case Port Vale and it’s supporters are the abused and we either speak out or shut up.

Totally disagree mate, he could have found a much better and more appropriate and less emotive analogy. It’s classic extremism and it’s ysung a subject matter that people suffer everyday. I’m sure we all know of someone who has suffered in some way.

 

Yes we all love Vale but let’s not compare it to the safety of people’s lives, that’s quite disgusting.

The thing about metaphors, REP, is that they aren't literally the thing they're being compared with.

Deflect deflect deflect.

 

Your fellow SDL member has said something truly stupid and showing his hand that he sides with the owner.

 

I admire you for trying to defend a fellow SDL member... but it won’t work.

 

Don’t blame the fans. Full stop.

 

It’s pretty low for you to take it down this route to be honest. Even for your standards.

You leave FST and his club out of this Beef.

Don’t let his daft questions derail the reason this thread was set up...

 

Don’t let anyone say it’s the fans fault we are in this predicament.

 

Don’t stop making noise against Smurthwaite... victim blaming will not work.

The OP is correct. Sexman should remember that if he wants to keep poking the wounded animal with a stick, don’t assume it’ll just lay there, it may get up and bite him.

Stay on topic

The irony.

[Jacko51]

This thread is the best example on here for a while of a poster using deflection tactics in order to avoid addressing the point of the thread.

[geosname]

I dont mind people wandering a little but when it descends into name calling at the start of a thread it's a bit much

[Alright Nah]

The irony.

 

Indeed!

 

I posted in response to your now deleted post. That's also been deleted now!

 

When really it was actually relevant as it completely highlighted what REP does to every thread.

 

If the same rules apply to him that apply to everyone else then the loon must have actually made about a million posts by now!
