Shouldn't This Peaceful Silent March Be Allowed To Take Place Without Violent Opposition?

> once more a potentially interesting thread utterly ruined by two people

Not for me, I have enjoyed the debate and it hasn't been ruined.

[ummmm]

More than two people! A handful of people are like dogs with a bone and hang on every single word Andy types.

It makes uncomfortable reading.

It all started when Andy was outed as a mod. He didn't offer the info up...he was hounded about it until he had to answer. Then his position was 'do I lie, don't I lie'

If my children behaved in the manner as some 'grown' ups on this thread they'd get a severe dressing down.

Some of yous should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves!!!

But Ummmm, AOG was picked up for his perceived lack of 'balance'. The two statements at attempt of closure were factually correct.

Why don't any of this lot ever get suspended? just asking....

"We understand that debates get heated, but personal attacks and abusive language will not be tolerated. "

Another reason why 'in house' moderation never works

[ummmm]

It's not just this thread, ag, it's most of the threads that Andy is involved in.

Who are you referring to retrochic? Very rude you know.

///Why don't any of this lot ever get suspended?///

Yes, it rather gives the lie to the accusation that andy is a trigger-happy mod and usually removes his detractors, doesn't it?

[MargoTester]

As far as I can see the march passed off peacefully which is more than can be said about this thread. I am surprised that is has not been closed by now.

[jackthehat]

He said that you 'inferred' something that didn't appear to be true.

Have you looked up what it means, yet?

[EcclesCake]

I really am beginning to wonder if the 'news' section should be renamed 'playground'.

The number of threads that get over inflated with petty spats and nitpicking is getting very tedious.

I rarely contribute but do observe the debates, the frequency of them being derailed is increasing and becoming beyond tiresome.

[agchristie]

All completely unnecessary this. How many times does a poster thank everyone on here?

AOG does so and gets taken to task for something that he never even said.

/// Do you know what 'to infer' actually means, AOG? ///

Yes I do as a matter of fact, but to be perfectly correct i have replaced the infer reference from his statement and replaced it with the exact dictionary definition, hence:

/// but disingenuous to "deduce or conclude from evidence and reasoning" that everyone agreed with your original position. ///

Still sounds like a lie to me.

[jackthehat]

AOG - Close....but no cigar.
It doesn't make what Andy said a lie....nor him a liar.

You actually mean Andy-Hughes, as usual.

Thinking that the thread had reached its end, my 11:17 Fri 12th Feb 2016 post was a polite thank you to everyone who had taken part.

But that wasn't good enough for him, he had to make an untruthful accusation against me that I could not let stand.

[jackthehat]

Stop saying that andy is a liar.
He's not.....you misunderstood. I suggest that you apologise and stop making a chump of yourself.

[ummmm]

I doubt AOG misunderstood. It's just an excuse to twist things...
