f-s-p Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think it sums up speedway fans tbh. All a bit thick.Heard from someone who's been a conducter in trains, the one who checks tickets, for his 2nd year now. 90% of people are more than a bit thick.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 You do post like someone who is a bit thick,it has to be said Back to personal attacks I see. Trolling and Bullying is the name of your game - isn't it? It is only a minor irritation but I can live with it. I'm surprised you haven't given up after your previous rather pathetic attempts. If you are part of the intelligentsia - I will be happy to remain thick. You will note that I never called you anything that you are not in this Post.

Humphrey Appleby Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Back to personal attacks I see. Trolling and Bullying is the name of your game - isn't it? A bit like a 2-week journalistic attack against someone who's clearly not compos mentis, but yet is apparently lapped up by the Speedway Star readership? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would you say are worst: Personal attacks or attacking a group of nearly 2 billion plus people because of the actions of a small minority within that group?FWIW I thought Iris post was tongue in cheek but... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Is it possible that Peter Oakes was one of those initially taken in by Frankitti and is using his access to the Star to get his revenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Is it possible that Peter Oakes was one of those initially taken in by Frankitti and is using his access to the Star to get his revenge?it certainly looks that way. Every word he has written seems to display a 'personal' element. Like a histrionic teenager trying desperately to let everyone know that 'they' are in the right. Must feel quite cathartic to have access to a magazine to 'vent' publicly. Edited August 26, 2017 by Grand Central 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Is it possible that Peter Oakes was one of those initially taken in by Frankitti and is using his access to the Star to get his revenge? Absolutely not. Don't confuse incisive professional journalism with amateur efforts on social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterPlinge Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Must admit the first week's instalment was quite funny. It explained who this strange character was, the bizarre claims he made, and basically debunked everything he'd been telling people. By the end we'd got the message that he was barking mad, though it was quite humorous reading the extravagant nonsense he'd come out with. But dragging it out for a second week, after we'd already realised he has mental health issues, really just seemed like "Let's all laugh at the special kid at school". Not funny anymore. The joke's been done. The only thing I still don't understand is that while the Star carried quotes from everyone that the barmpot had claimed to have contacted, there were still no quotes from Neil MacFarlane, the one who'd had most contact with the nutty one. Why no interview with MacFarlane? Is he refusing to speak to the Star? Is he embarrassed at being duped? Or is there some other reason? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 No need to shout Phil. Did it strike a nerve? If you read any of his posts the first word is always in capital letters. Just a bit confusing this time perhaps because there's only one word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonmole Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Rising has explained before - starting each piece with a capital letter is an old journalistic habit. Most newspapers do the same. As for not quoting MacFarlane, perhaps he is one of those still insisting this fantasy series is still going to happen - and SS are trying their best not to make him look an idiot. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
