Lovely people

I wondered why I had been called a fascist and threatened with violence five times in the last 24 hours. I deleted most of the comments, but here’s a choice example, from someone who calls herself “Sarah”. Her email is slaw453@hotmail.co.uk, and she’s posting from 84.68.143.127:

Antonia, without a doubt you are utter unwashed scum, and I am seriously looking forward to bumping into you for a little chat real soon.

Turns out this post had been linked to from the BNP’s chatroom at some point in the last day or so.

    They’re calling you a fascist? Careful - it sounds as if they like you.

    Oh dear, how unpleasant. Whatever happened to disagreeing politely with people?

    Hope you’re ok, though.

    C4′ forgets the house rules, and so his comment is deleted

    I don’t think anyone needs lessons in dealing with fascists from a tedious pedant like you, C4. As anyone who’s read your post will attest (noticing the error in the title for starters) you discredit the causes you attach yourself to. If these issues concern you, I suggest you return with a new moniker and a more grown-up attitude. FWIW, B4L’s thoughts on Cllr Kelly’s attitudes to Israel can be read (by reasonable people) on the B4L forum.

    C4, what’s that apostrophe after your moniker - was that to get round having your name banned, or something?

    I think the first comment I ever read of yours was about Labour/Blair being fascist, so clearly we haven’t advanced very far. If you’re prepared to be sensible we might just be able to. Simple choice, really.

    Copyright reasons. Besides, the Japanese pronouce C4′ as C4-Dash!

    Antonia you must be doing something right if you are winding these people up.

    Antonia - you and I might disagree about all manner of political issues, but if you’re pissing off the fash that much then you’re OK by me, our kid ;)

    PS - BTW you do know that the IP address you posted appears to be in Germany (search for it here)? Bizarre, eh?

    re your original post, where you said (in the comments) Galloway/Respect weren’t fascist ? I must confess this sounds like it to me :

    “Two of your beautiful daughters are in the hands of foreigners - Jerusalem and Baghdad.

    “The foreigners are doing to your daughters as they will.

    “The daughters are crying for help and the Arab world is silent. And some of them are collaborating with the rape of these two beautiful Arab daughters.”

    What would you say if Nick Griffin started talking about Bradford and Leicester as ‘these two beautiful white daughters’ ? (and no cracks about Bradford - it IS beautiful).

    Or how about “These poor Iraqis - ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons - are writing the names of their cities and towns in the stars, with 145 military operations every day, which has made the country ungovernable”.

    He’s talking about the people who blow up children and marketplaces. How come that’s more acceptable than Griffin ?
