To hope Mnetters have "Reading and Comprehension" skills????

[Pan]

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.

100x, is it fuck

lololol.

..post deleted, and ....

"PS - do you think Pan is going to come back, see how far this thread has moved away from the OP and have a break down!!!???"

Aaaaaargh!!!

Pan, I know exactly what you mean, having been completely misunderstood on a thread last week with the result that another poster became severely pissed off with me. Having spent a long car journey over the weekend in silence brooding over how I'd managed to unintentionally upset someone (on an internet forum fgs!) whilst my husband apparently wondered whether he'd annoyed me in some way, I think I need to just get a life and a bit of space between me and Mumsnet (I cannot just lurk, my fingers get itchy). Generally I find MN a laugh and it cheers me up but when life on here is adding stress to your RL you know you need a break.

goes off to Amazon to spend money instead (I feel a Dr Who boxed set calling out to me)

All too true MT. Thanks for that reminder!
