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 😶

Putting together a website from scratch.

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
