No.

And yet more proof of your bullying ...


But if people want even more proof, on the 6th Jan this year on the "we are indeed fortunate" thread, it was you who called me "Stupidcus" yet I've never resorted to calling you names


Maybe it's time people stood up and say "no more" when you belittle them and the forum can get back to a place of lively discussions, humour and fun again instead of the seething cesspit of rage that it often is now.

You're a real asset to this forum, aren't you?


(That was sarcastic, BTW)

Still trying to destroy my character rather than posting constructive comments ...


Sticks and stones ....


I never said state sponsored genocide, that's your comment and opinion ....


But if you want me to resort to your playground tactics


diable rouge is a BULLY

DR, there does seem to be quite prevalent attitude on here along the lines of "well if someone says something 'stupid' they're going to get 'called out' for it" (not your words (that I've seen), to be fair)....but is that really how we collectively want the vibe of this forum to be? SO people are hesitant to express a view? When people feel attacked for saying what they think, their inclination will be to 'dig in/double down'...whereas if they feel there is a decent two way street, then they may concede certain points and end up softening their view anyway.


And who is the arbiter of a 'stupid'? comment anyway? Perhaps trying to understand why someone has said something that you think is 'stupid' might be a more productive use of keystrokes?

That assumes that a poster is inclined to soften their view. I'm not sure that's the case with some posters.

If you look at the 'Deniers' thread I did exactly that and he double downed.

I understood what he said, and indeed kept saying.

Context is everything...

You do it as you would in html.


You will have to Google it as I can't work out a way to do it unless I do a screenshot of what I type.

I tried to do that by putting "close bracket" in the first command and "open bracket" in the second command, instead of the actual (well, the other way round) but that didn't work either!

Ah! I hadn't thought of doing it with spaces!


But I use b, not strong .

I think that was where I learned html what seems like zillions of years ago. Over a very intensive weekend.


Then I spent the next weekend learning CSS.


It was very useful at the time 😶

Looking back, this must have been about twenty years ago.


Putting together a website from scratch.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
