Quote from: Malthus on August 29, 2013, 01:33:56 PMI dunno how it got started, but it is pretty annoying to have people tell you repeatedly that you are a bigot, assuming you don't happen to think it is true. But like any Languish meme that someone is pushing, there is really no fighting it.   ;)

The only people pushing it with any kind of conviction are Viper and Grallon. The rest are only doing it because it is effective in getting a rise out of you :console:

Yeah, I'm a soft touch for trolling.  :(

I was unhappy to find posters I've never interacted with much, pushing the meme. To give but one example, in the thread on headcoverings:

QuoteStop putting words into my mouth, I didn't say "your country has problems too", I said YOU had problems with Quebeckers, not the same thing

When I said I didn't:

QuoteThat's not what I get from the Québécois on Languish or from your repeated posts about these Têtes de Turc of yours...

That's from Duque de Bragança, whom I've never much interacted with before.

Not true. See post above.

Hence I had a reasonable suspicion of being trolled.

Not your fault, but given the background, it isn't unreasonable for me to ask the question.

Not at all Jacob - Oex left this place in part because of this chronic bad faith of Canadians when it comes to the matter of Quebec.  And nobody can ever claim Oex was some sort of extremist/racist/tribalist...  But since we're in 'saving Malthus' mode don't let that stop you.

As for Trudeau Junior - he's an imbecile, picked by the Liberal establishment for his name and his good looks - no substance there whatsoever.

Oex didn't leave.

I wasn't taking the piss Jake. I was just stating my opinion. Obviously I'm more exposed to qc culture though,  might be just that.

Also Malthus is full of shit about his absence of a shoulder chip in regard to qc  ;)

Actually I recall Oex seeming pretty hysterical at that time on this issue.

I don't think Duque was trolling, and if you're referring to my post, I'd never known about your intense francophobia before this thread.  :P

Malthus never really got over the Dreyfus Affair.

And so we witness the birth of a once isolated meme into a fully grown Languish wide meme. :D
