A quarter of respondents don't think people on benefits should be able to afford gas, electricity, water, or a balanced diet.

Which makes me think they possibly did not understand what they were being asked.
I don't really believe that 25% of people think that way.

Bit like if you go on the reviews on trustpilot or amazon and people give 1* along with a comment such as 'fantastic product, does exactly what I want, came 10 mins after ordering & the delivery guy was super polite & helped my old granny put her shopping away'.

The poster who got permabanned was the one who showed up on Wednesday making drunk-suicidal noises so I don't blame anyone for trying to engage with them.
God knows there are enough people in the world with lovely opinions about GRT that two three of them randomly flailing into this thread over the same couple of days is hardly surprising.

Try their gluten free tiger loaf next time.

Also when it comes to GF bread, always temper your expectations. Pretty much the best you can hope for is "this isn't bad." and not "this is exactly like gluten bread!"

Feel it's hard to be trolled when that poster was literally the average voter. From "I'm a social democrat" to the Downfall meme scene in 2 pages the moment you suggest that cultural genocide has a negative connotation.

Yeah it was pretty much the epitome of that stickman cartoon about trolling (that I won't post because of the ableist language but iykyk).

The only obvious solution is to have an invested IK for the thread (i.e. Guav). Or y'know, just learn to embrace the trolling as a reminder of how many loving idiots are out there. A privileged position to take I know, and it's not like we need the reminder

If I were a Traveller posting in this thread I don't think I'd be happy to see that stuff being spouted with nobody responding. And I'll note one of them was edging towards anti-trans stuff too.

Another group of people that don't fit into society, and also avoid taxes. Though in the case of landed gentry and nobility they will have been doing this for generations, so it's a heritage and can't be changed

In my own personal journey through “wait, why on earth do I feel this way?” about travellers I got half a dozen stories that had 100% happened to local people and I found every single one of them online as either anonymous urban legends or things that had “definitely happened” to other people in other places.

I’ve since encountered the “well my personal experiences have all been terrible” out in the wild three times, and one of those people did indeed have two personal negative experiences with travellers. The other two didn’t have any - one woman told me she’d never actually met a traveller not two minutes after saying all her personal experiences with them had been terrible!

Not to go back down the turdhole, but I actually have had a bunch of negative experiences with members of the Travelling community over the years, them trying to fight me, various threats, many many occasions of them robbing from my old man's newsagent where I worked as a teen.

But, I also had a bunch of normal encounters. And - presumably - exponentially more encounters that I didn't know I was having because I didn't know they were Travellers . Sure the accent is strong but sometimes they'll just sound like settled folk from deep rural areas.

All to say, it's understandable to have trepidatious feelings if the laneway behind your house gets turned into a halting site, but maybe just chill the gently caress out and take people as they come.
