A recent online discussion on a public Facebook page. Lesson learned some people are not a fan me or this website.
“When the debate is lost, insults become the loser’s tool” Socrates
I would not call it a debate, but I think the quote applies. This is just some of the, shall we say more colorful comments.
Not a Fan: “Anyone else feel so gross after interacting with members of the parrot patrol? They are not good people. They are scum.”
Me: And yet you are the one hurling the insults, and unfounded accusations.
Not a Fan: You have been insulting good people in Londonderrt (sic) for years. You are such an asshole. More people should stand up to you. You cost us taxpayers a lot of money with your ridiculous 91a requests. You find petty things to complain about because you are a miserable person and what you do honestly disgusts me. Get a hobby and try to find joy in life. Stop spreading your misery to the good people in Londonderry. The people you associate with have no redeeming qualities. They are stupid sheep, the parrot patrol. They don’t think for themselves. Unfortunately Deb’s rag of a paper gets them elected to political positions in our town. You’re not a true republican, none of you are. You’re liberal scum.
Not a Fan: John Farrell is your favorite scapegoat. He seems to be one person you all frequently attack. WHY? Answer that question honestly.
Not a Fan: You appear to need to find issues to complain about because you have an empty life, just like the leftist protestors. Londonderry is a good town with good people. You should find real issues in the world if you want to make a difference. You could do good instead of manufacturing issues to complain about. Unfortunately you are a self centered narcissist surrounded by like minded dishonest people with nothing better to do than to complain about nothing.
Not a Fan: Why do you hate John Farrell? Explain and provide proof for your vitriol. If you don’t, that will prove that he is just your scapegoat.
Me: please give examples of this vitriol.
Not a Fan: Glenn, the facts are right there. Everyone can see it. Your behavior on this page for example. Stop deflecting. Provide your reason for hating John Farrell. Can you accomplish this one simple task?
Not a Fan: How stupid you appear. I asked you to provide proof. Instead of providing proof you asked me to provide proof. I honestly think you are just not right in your head. It’s a simple task. Provide the reason for your hated of John Farrell. No deflection this time.
Me: You accuse me of vitriol and then post after you have posted multiple personal attacks, with NOTHING to back up you opinion, and that all it is your opinion. WOW look in the mirror we are done. It’s no wonder you have been kicked out of other Londonderry Facebook groups.
Not a Fan : Glenn Douglas You have been insulting good people in Londonderrt(sic) for years. You are such an asshole. More people should stand up to you.

Not a Fan: Anyone else feel so gross after interacting with members of the parrot patrol? They are not good people. They are scum.
Not a Fan: You don’t even deny that you hate John Farrell. Please explain why you hate John so I can understand. John appears to be an innocent scapegoat and you appear to be a bully. I honestly want to understand why you focus your hatred on John. Please tell me. If I understood your reason, your behavior might make sense. If you don’t explain that will show how wrong you are.
Not a Fan: If anyone wants to win an argument with Glenn Douglas, ask him why he hates John Farrell. He folds like a dirty used snot rag.
Me: why not tag John Farrell – Londonderry First I’d be curious to hear his opinion on your rants. Does he agree with your personal attacks? While John and I have differences of opinions I have never attacked him the way you have attacked me and others!!!!
Not a Fan: Why don’t you ask him. You are deranged Glenn.
Not a Fan: Why do you hate John Farrell? Stop blaming me for things you and the parrot patrol do. That’s deflecting.
Not A Fan: This isn’t even about me yet here you are trying to intimidate me. That’s not going to happen because I don’t respect you at all.
Not a Fan: Do you realize how ridiculous you look and sound when you get up to speak at meetings with your legs squirming behind you and a scowl on your face and your petty complaints. What a joke you are Glenn Douglas. This isn’t even your page. Why don’t you go back to your stupid town underground.
Lesson learned I should have known better than to engage. Note the actual name of the person posting was changed to ‘Not a Fan’.
