Why wasn't it deemed unlawful under the Religious discrimination act?

Well it would have been if they had banned Islam.

One should be able to see what is allowed before making a judgement on what isn't.

I am not bickering, as you put it.

I think picking up people on typos is bad manners and nit-picking, which is why normally I don't do it.

But on this occasion, a little light-hearted banter with my venerable colleague was, as usual, misconstrued as a personal attack, due to his exceptionally thin skin when receiving. rather than dishing out, some criticism.

But as said, I am not willing to participate in de-railing a potentially interesting thread, so this is my last word on this particular aspect of it.

[naomi24]

You have participated - but if that's your last word on that - Hurrah!

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - //You have participated - but if that's your last word on that - Hurrah! //

Obviously you are equally keen to de-rail the thread by adding a comment that is not pertinent to it.

[naomi24]

Tut. And there's me believing you.

[andy-hughes]

And there's you proving my point.

What a life, never getting the joke. Is it on purpose or an affectation?

[Old_Geezer]

Seems a daft decision to me.
Maybe it was the provisional chapter of the CU that was causing trouble.

Don't lecture me regarding sniping, wasn't it you who took the thread off track by interfering in a remark I made to Islay. By doing such things do you expect me to accept your insatiable need to pick fights and argue?

If you have forgot what you put, please let me remind you.

/// Islay won't argue with you about your stunningly patronising attitude, and she won't pick you up on spelling your supporter's name wrongly - ///

Perhaps it is you who has lessons to be learned and not I?

Tut, Tut, name calling, since it is against rules perhaps as main moderator general you should remove that post imminently?

[andy-hughes]

And the de-railment rolls on .....

[anotheoldgit]

Yes look what you started as always.

[Islay]

//Yes look what you started as always//
AOG I think its about time you started acting you age and not your shoe size!

[naomi24]

^I think that applies to both. Thread after thread. This really is tedious.

[andy-hughes]

He started it!!!!!

That's the excuse of a primary school kid, andy.

[Berniecuddles2]

[andy-hughes]
