No facetiousness intended, simply a result of noticing a keeness to "attack" someone after ascribing entirely mis-placed 'labels' to them. This has been invariably after (perhaps deliberately) mis-reading posts made by them and then running away with themsleves on a tirade of bad language and general abuse, nothing to do with ANY level of debate.

It often manifests with posters apparently thinking"well if you think A, then you must think B" to themslves. It happened quite alot on the "bombings" thread over the weekend, to me specifically on a different thread, and have just seen it again elsewhere.

This IS a 'written word' forum, so I don't think it unreasonable to expect reading and comprehension skills to be absent.

Please read posts for what they say. NOT what you wish them to say.

I thank ewe.

Well, I've read your post and I have f-all comprehension about what you're trying to say.

But one problem with a "written forum" is that writing is easy to misunderstand without the tone of voice etc that goes with the spoken word.

it's NOT lack of intelligence...teaser..it's a desire to get all pointy-fingered, I think,..something like that anyway.
