I don't remember pre Internet us all sitting round in the pub with notebooks saying... "remember when we were in here 17 years ago and you had a couple of pints and said something inappropriate about the barmaid?? I'm going to email your work about that and demand they sack you ... " What sad sad people....

You or your son can change your Steam profile name, and picture in the Steam app, you can also unfriend people and make your profile hidden from searches and for two-factor authentication for login's. I'd seriously consider taking the time to do this for your sons safety, there's a lot of sociopathic TRA nerds who may try to fuck with the account.

It's like there's a board somewhere that meets every few hours to see if they've found anything new they can use to smear you. The 'digging into old online accounts' committee have earned their woke cookies today, as did the 'woman comments something slightly off that Glinner did not instantly condemn' committee earlier. I imagine they're quite chuffed because they're very competitive with the committee that police JKR's tweet-likes for signs of approval of people who said something not quite 100% trans affirmative in 1992.

The betrayal of friends cuts deep. What a c**t

C..ts have warmth & depth & are capable of greatness. You can’t say that about this twerp.

Coriander, you are right! I should not have used this word in this context, it is an offense to womankind. He's a piece of scat.

Corisande! (My spellcheck doesn’t know it either). But really it’s quite understandable. Guy is behaving like a git. Possibly there’s a reason for that...

I find the use of the word c**t (I HATE doing this) on this site amazing. It is considered a slur against women in the U.S. but apparently not so elsewhere. I would NEVER call a creepy man this word or anything associated with femaleness. And all it means is triangle in Anglo-Saxon (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I really don’t like it either (Brit here!)

I don't know about triangle, that may be a delicate euphemism for the vagina, but it's unclear of the original origin of the word. It could be female sex organs or a location in London famed for prostitution; referred to by Shakespeare and Chaucer (I think?).

It now commonly refers to a disgusting man or woman and is a powerful word. I love it and use it to express great disgust with however I am targeting at.

Germaine Greer once said that it is the last word in the English language with the ability to shock. Which is why I only typed 2 of it's 4 letters in order not to cause offence.

Jesus what an arsehole

What a malicious prick, using your young son to score points (and likes) to amp up the rhetoric against you. Disgraceful.

I relish the day when all this comes crashing down and all your old blue tick and celeb pals who turned their back on you regret that decision.

It beggars belief. A friend posted on LinkedIn last night a tweet about the British Olympic team, tweeted by the British Olympic team that had a photo of the team and the words “these guys”. Someone called Joshua Ward (no profile photo surprise surprise) literally called everyone who supported the post as transphobic. People like this need to be challenged. Arrogant, ignorant and stupid 😡

My dear grandmother used to tell me to ‘be as water, flowing around the rocks’ of life. But I find sometimes I just need an avatar of an irate kitty cat firing a machine gun with a backdrop of Armageddon. For sometimes those rocks of life are misogynists with sharp edges and bad manners who need to be verbally sanded down a bit. Good job, sir! 👏👏👏👏👏

Jesus this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. And the petty, gleeful tweets that followed from these hateful people. Graham, I don't know how you have put up with this crap for so long. The constant smearing is vile.

As our friend Don from the Star Wars shop so eloquently puts it:

"Nobody confronts you assholes!"

These assholes need to be confronted.

Could you please drop the 'knob' stuff in nearly all your posts...and stop using this site for you own personal vendettas, by any chance? You're putting Graham's page at risk, surely?

Expand full comment

I agree Ellen Bee, I really don't feel comfortable with this.

Expand full comment

At risk for what, surely?

For as long as he's going to come here and mine this site for anything he finds patently offensive I will be here to remind him he's a knob.

Now, if Graham asks me to knock it off I will.

Until then, Alan Driscoll Is A Knob.

You know how women keep banging on about safeguarding?

Well, that.

Change the details on the Steam account or better still, get him to make a new one. Don't send him out to play with a great big target on his back. I'm not saying this bloke isn't an arsehole. The world is full of arseholes which is one big reason why safeguarding is so important.
