in all honesty i had actually never even heard the word niggling before you
mentioned it and it isnt a word i would use period, i am curious at why i was
being dimed out as a part of the group to answer this question, I have never
even written to you or been involved in any of the past posts that may have
caused you to call me out on this one.|
|10/29/05 01:23:44 AM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo, given your love of sports
and Italy's involvement in world football (soccer), I'm surprised that you're
not familiar with the term 'niggle tactics'. Enter it on a search engine and
you'll find it's a common term used in Britain, New Zealand, Australia, and all
other English speaking nations that play football, rugby union, and rugby
league. You'll also find it mentioned in countries like Argentina.I
think what happens is that some Americans are a bit unworldly and never get out
of their home towns let alone their country. They've never travelled
internationally, have no interest in sports other than American, and don't use
language widely known out of their sheltered and insular environment. 'Niggle
tactics' is a term often used in the British House of Commons as well (as the
search shows).To twist the meaning of the dictionary word 'niggle', and
change the letters to 'nigger', is beyond silly. For someone to suggest that
this was a racist inference is ridiculous. And for Pete to pretend that it
distressed him so much makes him a big sissy, in my opinion and the opinion of
others who can see through the niggling tactics I accused him of. I'd hate to
witness his reaction if someone really insulted him. Weep, sob, boo hoo ! |
|10/29/05 01:27:41 AM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo, the term to enter on the
google search is 'niggling tactics' and you'll see my point proved. Thanks.|

only joking, I'm Italiano, so it's not surprising that I have never heard the
word niggling.|
|10/29/05 06:11:30 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|I have understood that the word
"niggling" is not offensive.|

3RD REQUEST TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONATTENTION: NOAM, KENT. PLEASE ANSWER
THE QUESTIONQUESTION: IF YOU WERE SPEAKING TO ME A BLACK MAN (FACE TO
FACE), WOULD YOU USE THE TERM, RELENTLESS NIGGLING.Peter, and Johnathan,
I included you guy's into the question, because considered both of you fair and
honest men.Everyone, look at how this site has deteriorated since, Noam
and Howard C have become regulars. Look at how many good contributors have left
the site since they joined. Would anyone agree that the site has become better
since they have joined? It has become digustingly vile. And these 2 are always
in the center of itThanks again to those of you who already answered the
question|
|10/29/05 05:13:21 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Pete, yes I'd say 'relentless
niggling' to your face (x 1000000000000) as it is NOT a racist insult (as can be
verified by the dictionary). My use of the term to you was perfectly in context
to the definition in the dictionary. And, besides, you were using niggling
tactics to annoy Howard and me as the record shows. Alleging it as a racial
insult is beyond silly and I think you need professional help with your
emotions.I've never made a racial insult to anyone in my life. Whenever
I've stepped over the mark on this site I've always owned up and apologized
where necessary. There's no need for me to do that in this instance because I'm
not at fault. Pete you are a cry baby and huge sissy who can't admit it when
you've got it wrong. In this case, you deliberately misinterpreted what was said
to use it as a weapon. You flunked it with your crococile tears. Before
you came here in August 2005, everyone had put the past problems behind. Since
you've been here with your relentless niggling the problem deteriorated and you
caused everyone to be at each other's throats. Stop your niggling tactics.
Thanks. Massimo, I wasn't niggling you about being Italian. I was just
