If this were really done, in equal measure, then maybe we'd have world peace, yes. But it doesn't work like that.

I don't think this is just about laughing / joking, either, it's about using class to belittle and humiliate.

1. The responses to JtN are [fill in blank and win a prize]
2. I have never heard of a 'Chav'.
3. When I was growing up, it was all miners from Nottingham and council estate kids. No-one would have dared laugh at working-class people. They would never have got away with it. Whether they do now, I don't know.
4. I don't think I would like Energy Flash.
I think I find it impossible to imagine how the stuff in there about the Detroit techno scene is v. interesting.

The prize still stands. Or perhaps it has fallen.

Today he, or she, has not offended me, perhaps because he, or she, has been surrounded by other interesting posts from people I know.

also, some might consider it to be bad behaviour to come onto a thread and belittle and dismiss something in such terms, it certainly does you a disservice, and is somewhat disappointing.
of course there is nothing to say that you should be interested in the sociocultural context of popular music either at a geographically specific or at a wider level, and theres nothing to stop you enjoying and reading about music on a much more personal rather than cultural level
after all, perhaps it is safer to dismiss from a distance than to engage with anything outside your immediate interests. still, always refreshing to have the same dismissive one liner trotted out

I am quite conscious of casual snobbery, I hope, I think in a weird way being into clubbing and dance music and things made me more conscious of what dickheads people who harped on about "knackers" or had iffy views about them are, particularly when a common slur of the dance scene here would be "oh that's scumbag music, where's your fiat punto" etc etc etc etc.

I think started a thread about this grammatical confusion once.

Calling oops a cunt was an attempt to offend him, after the way he belittled taking offence as a useless emotion. Probably not a wise move in retrospect.
Nickalicious, so you missed the thread where oops posted for the first time then? The great homosexuality is unnatural one?
Nicole, how dare you call me an Oasis fan!
