Now this thread is unlocked its an opertunity for the Wakefield poster to say sorry. I wonder if they will be so forth coming with a sharp witty reply now!!!!

The thing I find most pathetic about this thread is the posters frothing at the mouth with lust for Vengeance at GPFC. Seems Cas posters won’t be happy till full public humiliation is complete. Of course it would be wrong to have a go at someone you know to be autistic for a cheap laugh but as you know GPFC had no knowledge what so ever of the lads condition. Using an autistic lad as an excuse to stick the boot into a another poster whose views you don’t like is pretty low in my standards.

I don't think for one moment he would have posted what he did if he thought the poster was autistic, though it is entirely reasonable to expect him to apologise to the poster for an hurt or distress caused, i think we can both agree on that.

As a side issue i think mocking someones grammar or spelling on a forum is pretty pathetic but that just my opinion.

Whether or not he knew the op had a disability he behaved like a bully, using his superior knowledge of grammar and punctuation to try to make the op look foolish. However despite his best efforts his own posting was not without mistakes, and its backfired badly.
I think we all had teachers at school who tried to make themselves look smart at the kids' expense, and he comes across as one of them. Hoisted by his own petard, I have no sympathy for him.

A simple sorry wouldnt go amiss, but he has not been on here too much since, that in itself says alot... Maybe before he tries to be witty and belittleing he sould think. That post says alot about his own personality and its not a very nice one.

An apology would be an admission! if that makes sense!

I'm sure Sandal could put me right.

I think you are spot on with your assessment there.

Re: wakie fans : Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:55 pm  

I asked the mods why this was locked because I wanted to support the poster. As it was locked, I sent this via PM to him.

"Don't let anyone put you off speaking your mind. You have a right to an opinion and, as long as you're not abusive or offensive, a right to express it. The original point you made was a very good point and I understood perfectly what you meant - I don't agree with your interpretation, but that does not make you wrong!
