to be surprised by how many people are anti-immigration?

I was called naive today. Apparently 'if you aren't concerned by immigration, you've got your head in wonderland'.

And I thought - actually, I know hardly anybody else who isn't anti-immigration.

I'm trying to understand this attitude, it seems so common nowadays. Maybe I do have my head in wonderland.

I'm so tired of hearing 'job stealers!' type comments.

Hullo all,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention JaquelineHyde.

It's not against our rules to look up someone's chat history, and it's not necessarily against the guidelines to bring it up on a thread. Though obviously, as JaquelineHyde said - it would be if done in a way that breaks our talk guidelines.

The other thing that we have issue with is if it was done in a way that was accusatory to the OP.

To use the classic kitkat example - say I had posted saying that I'd had an allergic reaction to kitkats, and you'd given me loads of helpful advice about how to avoid kitkats in the future. If I were then to started thread saying "AIBU to eat this massive kitkat for my lunch", you'd be quite within your rights to say, "hang on KateS, seeing as you had a nasty reaction to a kitkat recently, it might be best to give it a miss". However, it wouldn't be ok to say "God, you know that's going to kill you - you're either lying about your allergy or are desperate for attention you silly cow". In the latter example, my posting history has been used to attack me, and infer that I am making stuff up (troll hunting).

Hope that makes sense!
