Say what you like about Mr Minion.
He's never posted fantastic and ridiculous stories on here then claimed it was "all a joke". Like one in our midst.
Or multiple banned accounts..?He's never posted fantastic and ridiculous stories on here then claimed it was "all a joke". Like one in our midst.
I think the event bloke should be left alone, clearly has issues and end of the day should we really take glee from it,over and over

Agreed. There is a subtle difference between observation and people actively posting on his feed, which I think some posters here have.LeadFarmer said:
Or perhaps he doesn't have issues? Nobody knows for sure, it's only down to opinion.
Well I've had mental health issues, I think it is easy to spot in others. We are not kids taking the piss from the weakness, we are adults with the ability to understand when light hearted jokes turn into bullying, and I for one , would never ever do this based on past experiences.Maximus_Meridius101 said:
It’s the new ‘circulation’ bit. It now means bleeding.
I know - I work from the following mnemonic:Danger
Response
Catastrophic bleed
Airway
Breathing
(Signs of) Circulation.
I know of the DRSABCD mnemonic
As a community first responder, I am the initial help of Send for help, I know there is also a D for defibrillator, I carry one as part of my ambulance kit.

The thread self moderates. It's never got out of hand. From Chemical Chaos at the start, to this guy now, no-one has ever been excessively nasty or vindictive.
This is just yet another case of the few thinking their opinion is more important than that of the many.
Seems to happen a lot on PH these days.
I have no problem with a caustic sense of humour or ripping the piss out of people and in fact, I am probably much worse than most people but I like to think I know where to draw a line. A post of two taking the piss I feel is fair game but sustained periods of revisiting his social media and picking his life apart on a daily basis... I start to wonder if we are the losers here and not him?This is just yet another case of the few thinking their opinion is more important than that of the many.

Folk here only react when he makes a new post, and there's plenty to comment on when he does. I don't see how discussing him on a forum that he most likely doesn't visit or know about can be classed a bullying?
Anyway, the bullying subject is getting boring, and folk need to climb down from their self appointed moral high ground. Has he made any new posts yet?

We've been through the bullying stuff. No one is directly communicating with him. We are commenting on his publicly available tweets. As said above on a forum he probably doesn't believe exists.
He is detached from reality no doubt. Does that make him mentally ill, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. If we comment on it or not it changes nothing. If anyone is genuinely concerned about his mental.wellbeing then get in touch with him. Have a chat. Instead of lecturing us.

I am pretty sure white strobes are illegal.
Yes, also amber flashing lights are illegal except on certain vehicles, a list which does not include fantasy medical services (or any medical services I think).I am pretty sure white strobes are illegal.
I think this guy probably has parents who fund this stuff and let it happen because it's keeping him busy and is "an interest". The cars are probably theirs (the Vauxhall and Dacia), and they let him dress them up for fun. The Twitter profile says ADHD and anxiety, but I'm pretty sure there's a big dose of autism in there, I am in social groups with people on the spectrum and it rings lots of bells.
As mentioned the danger is them actually being hired for an event (and the organisers not checking their legitimacy) and something bad happening. There's no photos of them actually working at an event other than car parking, so possibly they don't actually seek work, and anybody needing such services immediately realises the Waltishness.

Who has bullied him?Edited to add:- Just seen that others before me have already mentioned that calling it bullying when he doesn't even know this thread exists, doesn't add up.

that is not how it works is it? No one should be lectured we are adults that should know the difference between banter and constant attacks on someone, over and over again, which becomes tedious and tiresome.The Spruce Goose said:

Weird.

As someone else said the point of social media is that it's social, he's posting it, therefore it will be discussed.

Oh behave yourself! He has posted all that in the public domain himself. You sound like a hand wringing virtue signaller. If you think this thread is bad, try spending ten minutes on the Look who has aged thread.

I'm new to this thread, currently reading through from the start, and never the voice of reason.But, if it was at the point where someone's every tweet/social media post and irl walting was being monitored, reposted and ridiculed it could come across as a bit, how do I say, fruity New Zealand bird farming.
This could be labelled as bullying (rightly or wrongly), and if observed by a particular external type is guaranteed to be.
Essentially it doesn't matter if we think it's bullying, it's how these behaviours (in this thread and across the site) could be projected to the outside world and the resulting reputational harm to PH from being labelled as such.
Just something I've picked up on over the last few pages, I'm quite looking forward to getting caught up.
Anyway as you were, 10-4 PB over and out.
