I thought the only think Quebec women avoided was Quebec men.

What exactly is this, grainfed? You're back after an extended absence and you decided to celebrate with a round of Quebec trolling, as an alternative to Quebec bashing?

I'll voluntarily ignore the fact you posted an unreasonable amount of negative articles/posts in the Quebec section, all in the same day, but I simply don't take this. This was completely unecessary and genuinely offensive.

And heck, is this thread really relevant? It's not huge news, and the way you plug that kind of comment in it makes it seem even more ludicrous.

You ever give this speech to Streaker?

Why would I give a speech to posts I don't even read?

I'm not in a gang with Streaker. I'm not part of a secret club which members back one another. I'm not one to be affiliated to anything that looks remotely like a party. If Streaker had said the same thing, I'd have answered the same way.

I'll point out and decry statements that I consider ridiculous. I'll bark and yell if I'm concerned, too. Simply because I feel concerned, and that alone is enough of a reason to react more.

Does Streaker laugh at, say, Alberta (that's just a guess - I don't know, because I never actually saw him do it, and unlike what you seem to think I don't religiously follow whatever he does) like that? Maybe. I don't know, because I don't read all threads concerning the Prairies, unlike those concerning Quebec. But chances are I'll never even see it, so your point is moot.

I'll take that as a big no. I don't see what your beef is here. All the stories are current events written by mainstream media. The fact that he did them all in a short time frame shouldn't matter. Are negative stories about Quebec off limits to you?

Of course it's a no, I never saw any reason nor opportunity to do so!

And my beef? My beef is simple. You have to be utterly blind to not realize Grainfed posts these things to bash Quebec. Maybe not entirely, but in a very large part.

Let's recapitulate, from just 3 different threads.

Quote:
From collapsing bridges to the crumpling Olympic stadium, Quebec engineering and construction skills are certainly world renowned but in a South Korean sort of way


Unecessary sarcasm and ridicule, even includes a jab at South Korea for good measure

Quote:
Gee whiz, it snows a lot in Quebec doesn't it? You'd think after 400 winters (all with snow) the Quebec provincial building code would recognize that fact.


Nothing to back the claim, then what is it for?

Quote:
I reckon it's just shoddy French workmanship


Need I say a word?

Quote:
typical Quebec style graft and/or organised crime skimming off on construction materials


Starting to get the hang of it

Quote:
'We'd have done better if we were a chain of gay bars or sex clubs'


So we're gay perverts, wow what a perfectly relevant and inoffensive comment

Quote:
Quebecors (sic) are probably the most self absorbed and self centered people I've ever seen in Canada (Nflders the least IMHO)


Come on now.

And I'll simply ignore the non-obvious attacks and assume good faith.

What next? You're going to tell me I have no sense of humor, right? That seems to be the most employed method to defend bigotry.

Which you seem to condone, by the way. You check my speech, and blam you go indirectly accusing me of hypocrisy... and in the meantime, you even assume I have some kind of pact with other left-wingers or Alberta-bashers. All that without even heeding a single of my words, and questioning my reasons to feel insulted when Grainfed insulted Québécois DIRECTLY *at least* once and almost certainly many, many more times.

What am I supposed to do here, stand there and not react because some random passerby goes in to apparently defend his buddy (only apparently - I'll assume you are not, but please do understand that it's tough to control your emotional reaction when appearances piss you off), all while indirectly accusing me of doing the same without the slightest bit of evidence, even very questionable one, and decides it's okay to flame Québécois without even trying to hide it and then adding some arguable flame/troll posts for good measure?

I'll say it again, I'll bark and yell at statements I consider ridiculous. And a good 50% of Grainfed's are. I have more than adequate reason to be pissed off. Disagree at your leisure, but don't go telling me I have no beef.

Why are you even here anyway? Does it bother you that I consider FLAMES POSTS from another Right-Winger inadequate (or another Quebec basher - if the hat fits, wear it, otherwise, ignore this)? You spent time of your day to reply to what I said, so what's your problem with it? The facts are so evident you just can't possibly disregard them, so give me one good reason why my reaction should bother you at all.
