Careful Belton bb doesn't like people piling in it's tribal or cavalry or something or other
I find it strange that the few that cannot get their heads collectively or individually around having a reasonable conversation on the forum appear to be yourself bb and a couple of others, the rest of us seem to get along quite ok. I don't expect everyone to agree on all things and wouldn't expect nor want it.

I don't expect everyone to agree on all things and wouldn't expect nor want it. That just isn’t true (speaking only for myself, of course). I made an absolutely genuine statement on here apologising for any part I may have played in this forum becoming what it has. I was and still am determined not to continue that.I honestly feel that recently (and again, I am only speaking for myself) that things on that score have really improved - to an extent.It’s interesting that you mention me and BB by name and anyone else as ‘others’.Would you mind naming the ‘couple of others’ who can’t get their heads round reasonable conversation? Just so I can try to understand what you mean?

Just so I can try to understand what you mean?No, as I don't think it will help, but some do appear to want to argue or chip away rather than debate, everyone goes over the top occasionally and I'm no different on that score. Robust debate shouldn't be stifled, provided it's a debate with a purpose and hopefully an end. I'd rather have a debate or discussion with you than a meaningless argument so if it helps I will withdraw my comment about you and apologise.I find the political debates here interesting and instructive and remind me of how differently we all see things, but they do involve passion, even so shouldn't involve ad hominem attacks.

I agree with your comments about discussion Sydney.It’s interesting though that you think it okay to name BB and I, but not the other ‘couple’ because it ‘won’t help’. I can only assume why that is.
Belton.I am not interested in discussing with you, because you habitually and obsessively misrepresent what people write. There is absolutely nothing whatsoever to be gained from discussing anything with someone who does that, and refuses to accept they do that, or retracts it when it is unequivocally pointed out to them. It's a black hole, where words are distorted to mean what you choose them to mean. I have stupidly allowed myself to get dragged in too many times, but the last one the other day was the final straw. If you are unable to accept that you are doing this, I do seriously worry about you and I will not be part of it.
And I never mentioned you being ‘at fault’
Christ! I've just noticed the "bended knee" comment. All makes sense now!
Got my vaccination today, watch this space....
Nice one Ldr. Watch out for Bill Gates using wi-fi to make you piss your bed.
