I haven't seen any indication that he knows why people are angry with him e.t.c. but if he is aware of his wrongs and wants to change, why is he required to hold a conversation with you about it? When a crim is released from prison after serving their sentence, they're not required to publicly repent. He's done wrong; he's been caught; he's already paying a significant price with his career and looks like facing criminal prosecution too. It's not your place to hound him (or any other crim) until they've repented to your satisfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 If he threw himself to the ground and begged forgiveness people wouldnt accept their either. Time and long term demonstrative changes in behaviour is needed. The concept of him being forced to be a non-person is sickening to me however. Gross and vile. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have I said should happen to him at this stage other than keep a low profile until the investigation is over? Double edged sword of fame.

He's rich, so he won't starve. Looks like he abused his position in the music industry, does he have god given right to keep it at the same level?

So you'd be up for a bit of hounding of Shamima Begum if she's allowed to return to the UK, until she's repented to your satisfaction. Or is me saying that going to wise you up a bit?

It's if you slur others because they're not performing hate to your satisfaction and then don't perform the hate yourself you''d be a hypocrite. You'll know if that applies to you, or not.

There are a number of attacks on people's posts, complaining that they're not sticking to the lynch-mob-condemnation-script in one way or another. I see you're feeling the need to defend yourself. Guess that's because your own entry point into this thread was to make an attack on me (ho-hum) with a wilful misunderstanding* of a post I'd made.
