The lack of anything from ICW bar a vague Twitter statement is strange and worrying. i believe he's dealing with some personal issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Roy Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The silence from Jim Smallman is disappointing, Especially with what Pollyanna said regarding his treatment of the whole situation. Maybe WWE UK have told him to say Porthcawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 3 minutes ago, Keith Houchen said: Part of the problem in general, as in a patriarchal society, is that a lot of people say they’ve been wrongly accused because they don’t believe what they did classified as sexual assault or predatory grooming behaviour. We still have people who think a cheeky grope on the dance floor or haranguing a girl for her number even after she says no is fair game. Even in this thread, someone said “Women love playing hard to get” This is one of the things I've been struggling with, in thinking back to my own behaviour to see if there have been any times I've overstepped (fortunately, apart from being drunk in a club 15 years ago, attempting to dance with a girl and rightfully getting a slap, nothing). It also has me thinking of what I may have witnessed without realising, when I was involved in wrestling, or even anything I would've brushed off as silly or inoffensive when it was in fact much more sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just man but both sides. It's important that we listen, but also reserve judgement Hold on, you are against jumping to any conclusions against people without due course and legal process but are OK with two thugs, one of whom has a history of violence and violent crime if I'm not mistaken, beating the shit out of someone with pool cues based on what? Edited June 22, 2020 by Tommy!

They may well be putting together more if a cogent response than others have so I'm not necessarily saying they're ducking it, just that's it's a little stranger they haven't said more as yet.

Loki Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Once again I’d point out that this forum’s admirable efforts to come to terms with all this will look better is some posts aren’t from or liked by posters with names like “Rapey Eyes”.  Surely some mod can get hold of Moo and get the admin power to rename the poor bastards who got saddled with what I hope we’re all mature enough to admit are inappropriate names.  Edit: this thread is also turning into the Kamikazee thread.  The lad’s not going to learn, just ignore him.

Given the thread it's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Neil or another mod can delete this account It'd be a shame for you to lose your posts just because the permissions aren't allocated properly. One solution would be for the mods to let you create another account for the time being. There's functionality within the software to merge accounts together (ie keep the current one's posts but the new one's name) but I don't know whether the mods have access to it.
