T W A U ......Why Do Some Get So Nasty And Angry?

[ToraToraTora]

...it's only meant to be a giggle at a silly answer.

[ToraToraTora]

11:41 the one person that gets it, the one person that sees the point. No one got angry with the Family Fortunes "Bird with long neck" etc answers. It just seem to be the Chase that people get very protective about silly answers.

bednobs: "i wouldnt have a clue  what the circumference is.  I dont seem to have been disadvantaged in my life by not knowing" - is it a modern thing to take pride in ignorance? It seems to be.

[ToraToraTora]

This is more fun than a normal TWAU! all this foaming at the mouth it's like Rabies convention!

I wouldn't have a clue about diameter of the moon either. 

I don't need to know.

I know how many rolls of wallpaper I need for every room in my house. That is useful to know

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, how often does the circumference of the earth come up in general conversation?

How vital is it to know the answer?

[bednobs]

and to think you asked me to point out where you are being rude, yet you fail to understand how calling someone ignorant might be rude

it appears i might not have astronomy intelligence, but clearly some people have more emotional intelligence than you

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, you have called folk liars and then thick, is it any wonder they are disagreeing with you?

[ToraToraTora]

bednobs: "and to think you asked me to point out where you are being rude, yet you fail to understand how calling someone ignorant might be rude" - Ignorant is not rude, it's an observation. I'll try and use a better word.  To not even know the rough dimensions of the planet on which we all live, that does seem unenlightened (better?) to me.

TTT even gets nasty on a thread about nastiness - you couldn't make it up!🤣

I've said before on here and I'll say it again: I am regularly amazed by the ignorance (in the true sense of the word) of those taking part in quiz shows on TV. 

These people have volunteered to take part in a national televised general knowledge quiz show but I often wonder how on earth they got through the audition process, if there is one.

What annoys me more than anything are those who say "that's before my time."   Aaaaargh!

[Atheist]

My observation is that TTT is rude, ignorant and thin-skinned. Just an observation.

[THECORBYLOON]

BRAINIAC, perhaps you should apply to a few shows to see how you get on?

[brainiac]

Been there, done that - won Fifteen-to-One six times :)

[brainiac]

...and it's a lot harder than The Chase - no multiple choice, and only 3 or 4 seconds to answer

[THECORBYLOON]

Have you not applied to be on The Chase?

[youngmafbog]

It's AB.  Thats why.

[Mozz71]

I've come to the conclusion that the whole purpose of the TWAU posts is to inflate Tora's sense of self-importance and to give him the chance to abuse others, something he desperately loves doing.The

 

Tora, you're the pub bore who is banned from entering the quizzes becaise he challenges every wrong answer he gets. 

[ToraToraTora]

Not true mozz, I don't enter quizzes any more, they are now googling contests. When I did I never challenged any answer ever. Never had cause to. There are a few trap questions that they never set because there is always some rissole who challenges the accepted answer. I never did that.

[barry1010]

Have you been on Mastermind, brainiac?

[mjwman]

If only you could block individuals on AB!
