Will that now be a subtle signal to my fellow GC sisters? I do hope so, I can't wait to see lots of dinosaurs being sported by women out and about - anyone complaining about a woman with a dinosaur is simply going to look batshit crazy Grin. (Although just to be clear I do talk about this a lot in rl but not so much at work but generally think that the more women who don't yet speak out about this can see how many others are GC the better and I suspect that the "GC Dinosaur" may just be our Bat Signal")

Indeed I have just been reading up on that
You learn so much trying to avoid making a fool of yourself on here 😀

Ostriches ? Refusing to see?
Like ostriches in a 'birds closely related to dinosaurs' way?

I getting my ‘facts’ from the same place as the other people stating their ‘facts’.

But where are you getting your velociraptor lapel pins? That is the question at hand.

@RainbowCrossing

Focus on dinosaurs. Not squirrels. Or sealions. Or any other mammal.

Prehistory is where we are at on this here thread Grin

Apologies, patience wearing thin with people who refuse to see what's blatantly obvious to the rest of us.
RedDogsBeg · 10/10/2021 18:57

For the last time, toocold54 are you completely unable to comprehend that stating 'X' has definitely done something whilst that something is subject to a Court Case to determine the facts and whether or not 'X' is guilty of doing that something is prejudicial, not allowed under the sub judice rules and could well be likely to be determined libellous?

I really don't know what you are struggling with, your own words were clear, explicit and damning.

toocold54 · 10/10/2021 18:33

Yes they are, and yes you can. What you cannot do is assert as fact something that is subject to be determined in a Court of Law.

I’m not sure why I’m the only one you seem to have an issue with when my posts were in reference to someone doing exactly what you are accusing me of doing.

It seems there are some double standards going on here Hmm

@toocold54

Your post was deleted @toocold54 because you persisted in making specific allegations about an active case, and you still are, albeit more obliquely.

It wasn’t me that brought up the case!
It was someone else and others were agreeing. Which is why I had an issue with them spreading false information about an active case - it’s funny how no one had an issue with others bringing the case up but as soon as someone said other relevant things about it which didn’t fit your narrative then posts started to get deleted and posters have an issue with the content.

The reasons I am talking about the case obliquely is to explain myself without doing anything ‘wrong’. You are also speaking about it.

These threads are funny. Surely these are meant to be forums that you can discuss and hold your own opinions. It seems some are you either hold the same opinion as everyone else or you don’t get a voice. I haven’t done anything that other posters haven’t.

If you can't see the difference between mentioning a case using information that is in the public domain and you asserting that we know 'X' did this (hence asserting the guilt of 'X' prior to the case) then I can't help you.

The only one here spreading false and prejudicial information is you.

Surely these are meant to be forums that you can discuss and hold your own opinions.

Yes they are, and yes you can. What you cannot do is assert as fact something that is subject to be determined in a Court of Law.

Rubbish. As has been explained repeatedly to you, you cannot assert as fact, (not opinion), something that is subject to a hearing in a Court of Law to determine said fact.

I haven’t done anything that other posters haven’t.

Yes you have hence your posts being deleted and not only is he did it too a very childish defence it is wholly inaccurate in your case.

I see they’ve already been mentioned, but Sugarhill Brighton do have a cracking range of women’s dinosaur-themed clothes right now.

I own a few dresses from them, they’re good quality and bonus that they are an ethical brand.

Has anyone seen the pics on google of Labour HQ?

Ooh, that reminds me. Saw this earlier and thought of @PurgatoryOfPotholes, after the whole dinosaur/frog dna debate yesterday! Please note, I am not calling Purgatory a good girl, because that would be weird!

Can we go back to dinosaurs?

They were fun. This isn't fun. And 'the pig enjoys it'.

RedDogsBeg · 10/10/2021 16:35

Your posts are being deleted toocold54 because you are asserting things about a live court case which is sub judice. You are asserting as fact something you cannot know to be a fact and something which is prejudicial to the case, seriously educate yourself on the basics of the justice system. Plus your statements could very well be deemed to be libellous as you do not know what you so assuredly claim to.

Some facts surrounding the case are in the public domain and have been referenced in the media those can be mentioned.

Again, you don't know this:

that this particular person had only done one thing wrong and they got arrested for that one thing. As that’s speculation and completely false information.

My advice to you is to stop talking about this case or mentioning it as you clearly don't understand what sub judice means and nor can you seem to grasp that most basic of concepts which is innocent until proven guilty.

Cwenthryth · 10/10/2021 16:26

Your post was deleted @toocold54 because you persisted in making specific allegations about an active case, and you still are, albeit more obliquely. Also re-read the thread searching for the word “only” in relation to this matter - no one has actually posted what you are arguing against and racking up strikes for anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

toocold54 · 10/10/2021 16:21

Sense would tell you toocold54 not to assert something is absolutely known and therefore true when there is a pending court case to establish the facts and truth which will be based on evidence not on what a random member of the public declares as known based on 54th hand stories on social media.

As I said before my post got deleted (not sure why) I completely agree which is why I had an issue with someone posting that this particular person had only done one thing wrong and they got arrested for that one thing. As that’s speculation and completely false information.

Waitwhat23 · 10/10/2021 16:19

So people don't think I've been deleted for something awful, I just wanted to point out that I quoted a deleted post so was deleted myself. The gist of my post was that MNHQ will delete posts which talk about active court cases, particularly if they make unsubstantiated allegations.
