Even if he has it's kind of meaningless, the majority of pilots never get picked up and he's so toxic right now that he has even less chance of it happening.

also depends on what he's classing as "written"  he could quite easily consider a basic outline of "2 non-beardy men living alone on an island shit no i did that already, office, shit, A BOAT! yes a boat, you're a genius, it's all coming up Glinner now, you'll show them, you'll show them all, and one day an evil beard trans parks up next to them in the dock and hilarity ensues, it's like Mrs Browns boys but with added transphobia" could be the sum total of the pilot he's written

Something that bugs me about Glinner and anyone who uses their toxic-un-hirability as a cloak. He could make a short film tomorrow. Several films (and respectable, Film Festival released films) shot on Iphone, with a couple of inexpensive add ons and apps, they look good in their own sickly way.

He may not get the work commissioned or screened, but he could totally make his pilot tomorrow if he wanted.

he can't though because he can barely run a youtube stream from his laptop camera

He already has two locations to film his sitcom: a racecar and a bed.

Oh 100%, students and amateurs make far more with far less every day.

I guarantee he knows enough people within the industry that would be willing to work with him on something small that he could crew easily. If he doesn't then he could take the scummy route of getting amateurs and students to do it for "exposure" and being able to work with a well known and successful former comedy writer. But he needs the recognition of those with the money and pull to feed his ego so he'll never do it.

Right you lot. Shut it.

About seven threads this waffle has been going on for now and it's time to address a few issues.

1) A bit about me. I'm someone who's has had friendships, sexual relations with "trans people" and has no problem with "trans people" - which I doubt half of you lot have and have formed all your opinions via sodding social media. I have self-produced pornography to prove it. PM for details. I actually genuinely take individuals on as people, and couldn't a fuck a give what manufactured group they claim to belong, either earnestly or flippantly, which seems to be quite an unusual stance in the age of total bloody nonsense we now live in. Which is why I'm against Black Lives Matter as much as White Pride, and so on, The Left, The Right, etc. etc. And I could on a further jeremiad from here but I won't..

2) I have absolutely no problem with Linehan's opinions either - as they are his opinions. Granted his obsession on the issue is a bit peculiar. But fair play but we all have our obsessions, and the more peculiar the better I say. Clearly his issue is nothing to do with specific individuals but the machinations of gang mentality and wanting others to think like you. And there's certainly a lot of bullshit going in The Trans Community at the moment. As there is every other COMMUNITY, ever. The human race needs exterminating - just to be on the safe side - but that's another issue.

3) I'm half-arsed disgusted with this forum turning into a mass and haughty gang up on Linehan. It's pathetic. Just for having impassioned and obsessive opinion on an issue. Try getting one yourself instead. Rather than doing your heads in over someone's elses.

So What's the fucking problem?! Why are you obsessed with him being obsessed the trans issues? Probably more than he is himself? Have you answered yourself that? Why has this been going on for so long now? It's the giddiness of it all that has gotten on my tits. There's a lot of talk of Linehan being mentally ill - before applauding his demise in a fit of masturbation. Schadenfreude is the word. "I'm sure his wife will divorce him soon, hehe! He won't every work again.. lol!" And all the rest of it. Get to fuck. Yet I'm sure your excuse is Linehan is a bully. Well take a fucking look in the mirror instead.

Hi Graham.

I'm knew that'd be the response. That I Agree with Linehan, or better AM HIM.. which I don't. And I'm not. By the by.

-Graham Linehan

POSTSCRIPT. below, if there's anything I've learned about about humanity so far in my life, frankly too much I can be bothered with.. When people speak the likes of the following , criticising anyone else, they're really - inadvertently - exposing, talking about themself.. we're into a murky area of self-laceration.

Instances on these Linehan threads have been rampant. Myself of course included. If I refer to you as a cunt, in passing, I am in fact referring to myself, as a cunt, and so on, in passing.

Hi Graham, if you're reading this - your unresolved trauma from childhood bullying has led you down this dark path in which you have yourself become a bully. You know this, deep down. Seek a psychiatrist to deal with this stuff, stop externalising it. It's not good for you or anyone else.

tourism

some folks call me 'the wise contrarion' and I turn up at communities I've been away from for a long time and humblebrag about my homemade porn

Well it's not hard to be a contrarian on The Lineham Issue on this bloody forum.

What have we had? Mass nodding in agreement and putting the boot in for about 4000 pages now?

Won't we think of the poor, thin-skinned bullying bigot?

This does not seem quite right?  So when Copernicus argued against the existing, (and incorrect), theory of the Earth being at the centre of the Universe and put forth his theory of the Earth orbiting the Sun, publishing his revolutionary book, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, he was really inadvertently heaping criticism on himself?

I could give numerous other examples, but there is no need I hope, is there?  It is clearly logical that you CAN argue against another position without it being some kind of projecting criticism of oneself.

Trust you never end up doing a stint of jury duty..

The problem with Glinner's position is that, like the bigoted 70's comedians who relentlessly regarded, for instance, women and gay people, or black people, as inconsequential members of society to be mocked and kept down, he has chosen to frame transgender people as sub human deviants and to deny their legitimacy.

By doing so he has allowed himself the luxury of targeting them with an unending stream of hatred and invective which is totally out of order.  Even if his half baked ideas on gender and biology were correct, his behaviour would be woefully unacceptable.  Under the circumstances, the way he goes on is absolutely appalling and therefore it is no surprise that there has been a strong reaction against his hate.

Whilst Glinner paints himself as the victim, there are obvious parallels between the way he treats vulnerable people and how other vulnerable groups have been treated through history.  He is most certainly playing the oppressor and also enjoying it.

If you want some reading with obvious parallels, I would suggest, Primo Levi's "If this is a man", and  his, "The Periodic Table".  If you can't be doing with reading, BBC iplayer has probably still got "The Periodic Table" as a dramatisation.

Right you lot. Shut it.

Others: "this violation of human rights is bad, actually"
You, an intellectual: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you absolute moron"

I'm guessing you were important here at some point? Admittedly the Glinnerwatch is a bit mean at times, but I'm genuinely hopeful the guy will actually get back to writing now that he's not attacking children on Twitter all day every day.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

QuoteJust for having impassioned and obsessive opinion on an issue.

It isn't just that though is it.

It's using his elevated influence and status to demonise vulnerable people, going further still by singling people out who aren't involved and who he has never met to directly bully and provoke others to bully. Which on any topic and any walk of life is despicable behaviour, and, coming from a comedy writer with such a background, is absolutely astounding.

I explained this on the other thread which you ignored.

It is really funny that you say you take people as individuals but seem pathologically incapable of referring to individuals on here, only instead attacking a 'group'. Might want to take a look at that, or perhaps just stop flagrantly wasting everyone's time with your rubbish tantrum.

There's an ocean of difference between 'both sidesing' the trans debate and thinking Graham Linehan is defensible.

Although fuck the whole 'both sidesing' anyway. I've got a guy on Facebook who is a 'radical centrist' and a deep believer in horseshoe theory, who spams my inbox with nonsense arguments. Being 'against Black Lives Matter as much as White Pride' doesn't make you some intellectual nihilist, it strongly suggests that you are a racist. Normal people don't compare BLM with white pride and normal people don't compare trans women fighting for their humanity with Graham Linehan.

I mean, imagine being EXACTLY AS OPPOSED to the BLM movement as you are to fuckin' White Pride. Absolutely abhorrent thing to say imho.

It's beyond the point of it being a case of 'perhaps they just need trans people / BLM explained to them'. I'm sure looking at 'both sides' with the same contempt and cynicism is a fundamental part of your philosophy, which is taken to such an extreme that you find yourself defending someone even less nuanced, more bigoted and a bigger bully than Tommy Robinson, or being just as opposed to a movement against racism as you are to white supremacists.

Olaf, the only defence I can think of is that you are unaware of exactly what Graham Linehan was like. Otherwise, it's like you're standing by all the terrible things he did to vulnerable people on social media and saying "this is okay." It's not just a mere difference of opinion here - for instance, Robert Webb and John Cleese both seem to side with the GC lot on this issue, and they don't have hundreds of pages about them - it's the way he conducts himself.

....

kinda reminds me of when I started watching Game of Thrones and I kept criticising it and mocking it. Until one day, I thought, 'this isn't charming or intellectual, this is tedious cynicism.' Judging by your post here, I would believe your issue is pathological - being just as opposed to BLM as White Pride confirms it for me.

It's not even South Park Libertarianism. I sincerely doubt that Matt and Trey would think BLM was in anyway comparable to White Pride or worth opposing as much.

I notice this thread (apart from this page before it gets cleared up) is moving much more slowly than the Glinner mods one on GB. There was a lot of feeling the old thread had run out of steam as Linehan's cuntishness had been revealed and the story wasn't moving forward at all, but then the twitter ban and the sad scrambling around the hinterland of social media happened. Now that has passed the thread has quietened down a great deal again and will slowly start fading.

I, personally, want him to snap out of it. He co-wrote a couple of my favourite sitcoms and to see him like this is sad.

And homemade porn, you mustn't forget the homemade porn. First thing you need to lay out to establish your credentials when demolishing the groupthink opinions of sheeple who dont understand your amazing truths such as that one thing is just as bad as the other and humans are a disease and other such face melting revelations.

When did this thing of making incredibly pedestrian establishment mouthpiece statements and acting like they are brave acts of free thinking rather than just a load of Tory boy pish begin? Comparatively recently right? I'm sick of it in any case. Look at the people who're defending you, Glinner. Honestly in his position I'd be even more ashamed of myself than I already am. Radical centrists - putting the moron in oxymoron.
