It was suggested that Nev may be missing because of said emoji.

This is rubbish and has already been explained here a few times.

You blokes who keep trying to minimize this to 'an emoji' are just nowhere near actually understanding the situation.

Nothing to do with left and right and to try and suggest so is completely transparent.

How am I twisting your words?
Did you or did you not suggest Nev might be missing because someone posted an emoji?

I suggested that there was a possibility he may be missing out because they might think he would need time out to clear his head and be with his family (no mention of it being because of an emoji). To you it might be “just an emoji”, but you probably haven’t been very publicly subjected to comments based on your race on who knows how many occasions. And how is it virtue signaling to wish that racism did not exist to the degree that it still does?

When all else fails, the old reduce it to the left vs right trick. Laughable.

None of this is about Nev.

Its all about the posters now.

So what were you suggesting he needed to clear his head and be with his family from in a threat titled "Racist comment targeting Nev" ?

And you can wish like a child all you like.
Still won't make it go away.

It was suggested and to reference that is reasonable. I come here to talk about the football,  you folk can talk about twitter if you want. I would suggest that if twitter is so upsetting, well you don't have to use it or look at it. Life goes on without twitter. A lot of idiots seem to use twitter and an anonymous troll should not be such a threat. There are laws and standards to deal with these issues. It is nothing to do with footy.

No, you've either completely misunderstood it or are purposely playing dumb despite it being already explained.

This wasn't on twitter.

It has to do with one of our players.

Yes, I do appreciate the irony in you continuing to post things like 'if you don't like it, don't look' in a thread you obviously don't like.

First part doesn’t make much sense... it was relevant to the topic. It’s very obvious that comprehension is not your strong suit.

Second part... has nothing to do with my question re virtue signaling.

Yeah, it’s become an exercise in banging one’s head against a brick wall. I’ll cease and desist.

You must be such a tough guy yourself

 As I have posted on here before, I can see your point, it can become boring having a battle of wits with unarmed opponents

I agree with @hardtack you didn't make much sense in your post

I am a big fan of Nev, think like Jones and Hibberd he was omitted on form, he will fight back

Not only against the racism but also to get back in the team

Silly little spats like those in this thread really do make things unpleasant for the rest of us.

Think before you post. There is a broader audience reading.

So now we know that you are sexist and racist. Good to know.

I disagree with something Hardtack said earlier. He said you have a choice not to read this thread. I disagree because I wish you would keep reading so you might understand why people disagree with you so vehemently. Perhaps it's a forlorn hope, but maybe one day you'll understand.
