Ruby, I didn’t lecture you at all, you didn’t ‘read’ what I actually said,

Ruby replies

Guilty as charged.

You left me a very long post so I’m going to have to leave it until later to ‘read’ it properly.

I promise I will ‘read’ it’s just that most of the time I am multi-tasking.

I’m busy at the moment trying to ‘gently’ persuade all the BBC fans on the other thread to stop giving money to the BBC.

They are all going on about what’s happening on the Andrew Neil, Andrew Marr & Gordon Brewer shows and I haven’t a clue what they are on about!

Again you ‘assume’ that ‘everyone who watches live TV legally does buy a TV licence’. You don’t know what ‘everyone’s’ situation is regarding tv watching or not, as I stated I don’t watch tv.

By all means continue to base your assertions on your assumptions, but don’t expect that ‘everyone’ needs your ‘parenting’ and once again please do read what was actually stated?

You are jumping in with both feet because you aren’t ‘taking in’ the ‘context’ in which I state that I overdosed on the BBC. That’s not me lecturing, that’s fact. I ‘suggested’ you consider this, that’s not lecturing, and that’s precisely why I emphasised ‘suggest’ so that it was very clear that I was ‘asking’ you to consider the point I was making.

‘What’s wrong with giving others a ‘lecture’?’

Well if you had some point that was based on a correct reading of the comment you feel concerned or alarmed enough to get in to lecturing mode about then I suppose you could ‘justify’ the lecturing? On this occasion your ‘lecture’ was uncalled for.

It’s my opinion that people ‘in general’ don’t enjoy being ‘lectured’ at Ruby, by all means offer up opinions, that’s entirely different than ‘assumptions’ and then ‘lecturing’ on the basis of a skewed ‘reading’ of someone’s comment.

Just one last thing…if people ‘complain’ endlessly about the BBC on here and you get bored by that, then don’t read those posts. Also don’t hijack other people’s comments and utilise them as a springboard for your own ‘complaining’ endlessly about how you think others should stop complaining endlessly about the BBC.

See what I did there? 🙂 Have a gentle day ruby 😉

Can I just very gently ‘suggest’ Ruby that you don’t ‘assume’ and then kinda ‘lecture’ others when you know nothing about them…and also just ‘read’ what they actually typed first, before jumping in with both feet, thanks so much 🙂

You’ve just done it to me and I ain’t complaining.

I’m assuming everyone who watches live TV legally does buy a TV licence and that is fine as long as they don’t complain endlessly about the BBC. It gets boring!

If they do I will be giving them a ‘lecture’ and I might even suggest they ‘go to their room’ However in your incase I will be gentle! 🙂

Thanks for the link @ Ruby, nearly missed it.

Ffsakes… I laughted my head off! WTF was RD thinking, or rather trying to prove jumpin on that bull? Silly arse! I would’ve been sayin, “no way it’s boggin” – wouldn’t have done it for love nor money. I realised then what some of the earlier comments regarding her was about.. 🙂

But, do you know, I think history shows us that Scotland does best when her back is to the wall and the odds are stacked against us.

The people of Scotland have never shyed away from a difficult battle = )

We are strong. And we BELIEVE in Independence!

Onwards and upwards folks!!

I’m nae feart and I’m certainly not done yet! Nicola has just rolled up her sleeves. Watch out Ruth, you are well and truly in the firing line!

‘It sounds to me as if you have been overdosing on the BBC.’

‘Think I overdosed on the BBC during the election coverage, it just seeps in:’

I don’t watch tv Ruby, I did however watch the coverage via BBC on election night. I’m well aware of the withdrawing of the licence fee as a legitimate protest and a psychological must for one’s sanity.

Can I just very gently ‘suggest’ Ruby that you don’t ‘assume’ and then kinda ‘lecture’ others when you know nothing about them…and also just ‘read’ what they actually typed first, before jumping in with both feet, thanks so much 🙂

Labour hegemony is normal setting

Mmmwahhhhhhhh…… 🙂
