So on the one hand you are questioning why the poster didn't call out abuse and on the other you say oh no no you can't judge.

You wanna have another go at a coherent argument? Cos I read that 4 times, and...

You have said two contradictory things. Not that hard to work out.

I like people watching and then making assumptions about their back story, particularly when out on the piss.

I think most people do, just most have the sense to keep their assumptions to themselves or a very close group of friends and family.

I guess making pretty wild assumptions then sharing them anonymously online is a pretty close tangent to that.

I have enough trouble remembering my own back story in these situations sometimes

Tony Jones is a complete moron. How does he keep getting a gig? Who could ever forget this?

His lack of social awareness is quite incredible really

Whenever I hear rhe word hooligans my mind goes to hundreds of opposing soccer supporters going hell for leather at each other. The video just seems a small scuffle involving a handful of people.

I'm surprised this isn't happening more often.

With the whole "nup to the cup" thing, and horse racing being a less cool place to be seen, the tennis seems to be where a lot of grubs are now congregating.

Nah. If you see controlling or abusive behaviour it needs to be called out.

So if you saw a couple having an argument in public and perceived either of their behaviour to be controlling or abusive you'd get involved? I wouldn't.

Hmmm cant say I definitely would but if I did it would be more towards a male aggressor

I did have an intrusive thought to go to him and say I feel for you bro. But.....

In context to my original post I was rather pragmatic about it. I didnt take sides but saw a dynamic that was interesting and intended to drive a discussion on what people thought about it.i pointed out both sides of the coin.

Further, theres a huge difference as explained by Phantom that I didnt openly discuss this amongst friends or colleagies, or on facebook etc but in an anonymous forum. I thought thats what we do here.

That's probably natural i guess. But geez I'd be very hesitant to intervene in a strange couple arguing, they'd probably both tell you to **** off. I guess if one was being physical to the other maybe, would depend on a lot of things.

Absolutely and I'm not knocking you for that, was just giving my view on the situation generally.

Imagine being such a dickhead people are actually supporting Djokovic in this case.

Second part was to other posters. Sometimes i think people forget thisbis an anonymous forum where we discuss lots of shit in a relatively safe space.

What if i started a thread "things you say to other drivers" the shit I say is downright wild

Thank Christ I drive around in the cone of silence, I’m terrible at keeping my thoughts of other drivers behaviour to myself

A lot of shit I say is definitely frowned upon

YOu have a green arrow you usless ****ing campaigner. Two business days later you finally decide to move. I have to deal with these ******s every ****ing intersection.

My intrusive thoughts are a whole new thing.

 

[phantom13]

if Chompers doesnt get fired for pissing of the best tennis player of all time (he is, i dont like him either, but we gotta accept what hes achieved) then he should for being so ****ing wildly unfunny and of poor judgement.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

He's pretty much the embodiment of the "OK, Boomer" trope for me. With an ego that wouldn't fit in the Grand Canyon just for good measure. What a campaigner.
