Cyclist assaulted by white van man.

I seriously hope that you do not find pleasure in watching cyclists die. If you do then you are no better than the boys that killed James Bulger.

He was being sarcastic, Matthew, take his meaning as being the exact opposite of what he wrote.

 

[BentMikey]

I think he did it because he's a teenager who thinks he is always right and knows everything... I believe they are sometimes referred to as 'Kevins' in honour of the Enfield character.

How is this any different from you, User?

I am just getting sick of people giving comments like that. I cannot hear it coming from them so cannot assess what it sarcasm and what isnt. I get enough abuse on YT.

Don't stress, buddy. With time and experience, you'll grow better at detecting it. I'm not very good at it either.

I thought the "1000 miles an hour" might have given it away...

On another forum we have this nice little smilie for such comments, where the intended sarcasm could be missed

It wasn't subtle!

It might not have been subtle, but that is almost undetectable for someone with Aspergers.

Some one very near and dear to me happens to be called Kevin and they strongly resent the perpetuation of the name being used as a term of ridicule. It's not my er, their fault tha they were given this name and it is unfair that they have to suffer like this. I mean it's not as if I'm He's called Wayne or anything that tragic so lay off with the unfair prejudice if you don't mind becuase it upsets my friend. Not me obviously who have a perfectly acceptable name which has no negative connotations what so ever.

If abuse is not your thing then a job as a PCSO might not be your thing. Not quite the same thing but I worked as a doorman for a couple of years and the public can be a very abusive lot at times. It requires a lot of bending like the reed rather than sticking out like a nail which will get hammered. I hope you have considered what being a PCSO might entail and that you are prepared for it. I wish you luck and hope that it works out.

[QUOTE 2566321, member: 1314"]I've already told him he should never join the PCSO as he lacks empathy. He was talking about working in England, specifically. I certainly would not want to be policed by a force which would hire someone like him as a member. I also advised him there are career choices which do not involve a requirement for empathy.

He can be successful in a profession but dealing with people is not one of them.[/quote]


Yeah, that was totally sensitive and empathic. My irony meter just exploded.

You will need a very thick skin to become a plastic plod.

Self awareness not one of your strongpoints then Reg?
