One characteristic I often observe on the forum is that when the mods step into an exchange, the worst offender usually tries to take the higher moral position by siding with the mods, thus attempting to make the other member appear the unreasonable one.
Even I, a simple man, can see what is going on - the mods are far wiser than I to be taken in by such maneuvering, entertaining though it is. |

The point must surely be that 'We' are better than that. It is stunningly simple and more convenient to present an amicable response to absolutely anything that can be said or written. Just takes a step back to see everything as being in the best intention. Those that want a row can go to where they happen - and possibly meet their match - so good luck to them. They spoil it for everyone else and the result is a stunted growth.

We feel honoured that even the posh, wise, ones have decided to ingratiate my thread with their presence, be it only to offer a bit of support to members of the collective and to look down upon some of us. Thank you for making what must have been a painful effort to bring yourself down to our level. Just one question - do posh ones practice what they spout so eloquently? Oh, will you be staying long?

I agree but when someone will not ever countenance anyone else's opinion the whole thread ends up in being pointless to the extreme.

I’m happy with that. To round things off for me - I categorically state that I intended no offence whatsoever when I referred to Greta Thunberg. My inference was clear and aimed directly at Government for not listening to true facts but listening to agenda driven zealots. That is how we have ended up with dirty diesels on our urban streets because just as ER and Greta Thunberg insist that CO2 is a poison and the sole cause of the problem - lobbyists previous to them managed to hoodwink Government - when the reality is that CO2 is a vital constituent of Photosynthesis. We ended up with diesels via lobbying by truly ignorant people. Greta Thunbergs parents are very active within ER. They have manipulated this poor girl into some sort of cult figure in order to advance their mission. My simple point was - should Governments be swayed by a 16 year old supported by the likes of Emma Thompson- who flew in from 5000 miles away to tell us that whilst she can fly (1st Class in her case) - we plebs shouldn’t fly at all.

I did not want to fall out with you in public. The thread was about Dyson. Maninder, you had your views and I had mine, different to yours. Last year I chatted with Reebs at the National Meeting in Anglesey, when we talked face to face about the problems of people writing contentious stuff up on the boards. He will remember our conversation We both said the same things around, would you say the same to someones face, as in writing them up. Maninder, I don't see the mods as being wiser than you or you being simple. Never do yourself down The mods are ordinary guys, doing a thankless and time consuming job. I admire them for what they do.

Greta Thunberg was not mentioned in the offensive post.
It referred to "16 year old teenagers with Aspergers" not a specific person. |
