alta-pete Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 No doubt more on the way now too! Let’s see how it ends up… Rarely do I set out trying to be controversial or aggressive. Slightly surprised at the reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Really sorry to hear about Oaksoft. He was one of the few people I could relate to, albeit he and I didn’t agree much on politics. He was quite left leaning. He did a great job on Covid and very much supported freedom of the individual against the lockdown policies of both the SNP and UK governments. All that’s going to be left on here are the SNP, left wing, woke fan boys which is sad really but there it is. Ill probably just stick to the Football Forums, if at all, as there isn’t much room for dissent from the perceived norm. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been contributing to the politics forum less and less, it's pointless. Plenty of good topics on the GN forum, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only arrived at the politics forum because the Falkirk thread wanted you to take your daftness somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ll find my ‘daftness’ will prove to be correct in the end. The football people were idiots and would have been quite at home in China. Anyway, I have no issues with you. Courteous and fair. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a certain amount of respect for posters who are consistent with their ideology, however daft. Oaksoft would change his at will if he thought a new position would annoy people more.

If someone is being banned for some trumped up reason that really comes down to twattishness, I'm not really OK with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I didn't mind Oaky tbh though I perhaps didn't run into him as much as others. Plenty of flip flopping and persona repackaging, I don't think I saw the recent stuff which has resulted in the banhammer. Hope he and Reynard are having fun in the big St Mirren fan ban in the sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) oaksoft's main contribution to the forum was absolutely ruining threads. He seemed to mature out of not using the multi-quote and posting five times in a row, but he just posted about everything as contrarily as possible. Anything he'd post about was argued to its tiniest detail and he had to be right, all the time. Threads were absolutely ruined in the process. Worried about your energy prices and want to find or share worthwhile advice? oaksoft's posting endlessly belittling anyone who's not wrapped up like they're trekking to the North Pole, or anyone disagreeing with any aspect of anything he's saying. Same goes for the strikes thread where you might have some concerns about the way things are but no, here are some screeds and some cry laughing emojis if you don't think what he thinks. The fact he claimed to be retired and happy to be without human interaction probably says a lot. He's not gone because people disagreed with the things he said, he's gone because it was impossible to actually have a viable message board if you disagreed with him, because he wouldn't let anything go. The fact that historically the opinions he held seemed completely fluid had no bearing on how vociferously he'd argue them. I don't think he was capable of letting things go and I'm not going to speculate on why that is, but it's not something that anyone should mourn.

MrWorldwideJr Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Oaksoft spent his final few months on the forum having an extended heads gone about trans people and 'trans cultists'. Appreciate a lot of folk might not have seen this as he kept it mainly to the gender debate thread. Not sure if that was what got him banned, but he'd certainly been building up to saying something bannable on the subject for a while. If a poster had been regularly ranting and raving about, for example, 'gay cultists' they would have been quite rightly binned, so I really don't think he can have many complaints. You can say he was just doing it for attention rather than because he actually believed it, but I would say spewing transphobic rhetoric makes you a c**t regardless of your motivations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
