Emre racially abusing Didier Zokora and getting what was coming to him.

[StraightOuttaCanton]

The thing is, because CC thinks that name calling is harmless (and I speak from the vantage point of being called a faggot by him, among many other things, purely because I have a viewpoint that differs from him). And, because he thinks it is harmless, therefore it is harmless.

Calling someone a **** is just harmless name calling.
Calling someone a effing N****r is just harmless name calling
Callings someone a fat tw@t is just harmless name calling.
It's all purely harmless. Until, the person at the receiving end decides to retaliate. Then it's no longer harmless - then the instigator is the victim.

Or, until the person at the receiving end goes home and locks themselves in their room to avoid being called names. CC lacks empathy, he sees the world through just his own eyes and if someone is offended at something he doesn't find offensive, then they are flawed. This is the perverse logic being applied.

Remember, Emre was fouled and decided his retaliation would be to use a racist insult. Zokora and his team mates decided that they had to take their own form of retribution.

I wonder if, say, the Reading centre-half calls Hoilett an effing N****r on Monday, and the Cardiff players decide to respond in the same way as Zokora's team mates responded, would CC deem it great team-spirit, or scandalous. Judging him purely on the different degrees of hypocrisy he has demonstrated in this thread, and in his own unsavoury behaviour over the years, I suspect I know the answer.

Your psychological profiling in the first 3 paragraphs feel really accurate to me.

Just my interpretation, but it feels to me that the lone wolf in this thread has little or no appreciation of the effects of mental health issues

I’ve encountered more devastating effects on lives from words (bullying,prejudice etc) than I ever have from violence. Maybe it’s juat that violence gets a higher profile.

I have too. CC is the sort of bloke who would happily name call (from the safety of his bedroom in most cases), and then cry foul if someone decked him. If someone called me a tw@t, a ****, a faggot (funnily CC has called me all of those things, yet cries about insults in this very thread!) I would not look to retaliate violently. However, if I called someone some of those things, and they felt the only response was to kick me in the nuts, I don't think I'd have any complaints. I wouldn't deem the response appropriate, but the fact I have deliberately angered a person and lit the paper means I'd have very little moral ground on which to stand.

He has form for it.
Loves to Dish it out.
Whines like a Baby if he gets it back.

Sad to say that is my experience too. Very odd fellow indeed.

All Attention is Good Attention to him.
He just Loves Attention.
Why?.
Maybe Something from his Childhood?.

What a load of rubbish, I don't think he is bothered at all by the name calling, if someone calls you something instead of responding to what you have said then you are going to mention it aren't you?

You're right, he isn't bothered. Which may explain why he can't comprehend how anyone else could possibly be affected by such abuse.

Do you get upset by people on here?

[Badly Ironed Shirt]

Do you get upset by people on here?

Not at all. Doesn't mean that I can't sympathise with people who do get upset by people on here, does it?

Rubbish?.
He is always Quick enough to point out He has been called a Name.
