Conflict in the Middle East

How long until the Iranian regime collapses?

I think days......

The dismantling of its defence systems, the panic in Terhan coupled with decapitation of the senior ministry leadership alongside important government institutions makes control increasingly hard for the regime.

I think the lack of good options for Iran has made them separately wave a white flag attempting to get back to the negotiating material but maybe it's just too late?

Why is it?

I’ve had loads of pro Palestine supporters all jumping on me on threads including you.

Sometimes I’ve asked individuals to stop tagging me because I don’t like having to defend myself against several people all at the same time, but I haven’t used the bullying word. Any actual personal attacks need to be reported.

@sualipa just wants to have a break for a bit and that’s fair enough. I think we should all respect that decision and I’m sure they will return to the debates at a later point.

Why is it?
Because it was getting personal. I see Mumsnet agrees.

Again if you don't like getting tagged don't post, it is a function of the site. Many tag you because you post a lot on a lot of threads and many disagree with you.

Whatsinanamehey · 21/06/2025 11:22

It was in reference to the deleted post that were full of despicable personal attacks.

Agree with @Whatsinanamehey if people don't want to be tagged they need to stop posting on a forum that allows it. No need for those rude posts

The reason I didnt want to be tagged because sualipa on several occasions has responded to my posts by extrapolating from what Im saying, loading her own interpretations and assumptions and sometimes completing reinventing my point into something she then argues with. At length. This is not acceptable. Its perfectly legit to request not to be tagged when someone has moved the argument on beyond a poster's original point and tries to take them down their own rabbit holes (her expression). Hardly hounding is it?

You don’t think asking “how old are you?” is getting personal?

I’m happy to debate with a couple of people at a time. It’s the pile on’s I don’t like.

Yes I post a lot as do you. Plenty of people agree & disagree with both of us.

I've never took issue with people disagreeing with me.

Where did I say I didn't?

Genuinely curious, how old are you?

Why do you ask that

ComeAsYouAreAsAFriend · 21/06/2025 11:56

To add if you feel there's a pile on over something you've posted you don't need to respond just let it pass the thread moves on rapidly

So you accept that you were getting personal with someone while at the same time criticising someone else for getting personal.

I don’t need advice from you thank you.

Where did I accept and do that? That's twice now you've put words in my mouth

In fact,.that was lame for me. What I actually should have said @whatsinanamehey is that I'm old enough to know that 'progressive' toxic liberals, such as Kneecap, Sarker and Jones, in one place, sends shivers down my spine. Right, just got over covid, so I'm going for my picnic now.

Me too. Not the picnic but the shudder. Modern day terrorist supporters calling themselves the name of a widespread brutal IRA punishment. Lots of scope for jolly quips there.

@ComeAsYouAreAsAFriend

Sorry it was @Whatsinanamehey who asked “how old are you?” Clearly a personal comment meant to judge.

You accepted them saying it without comment but then said another post was deleted for “getting personal. ”

Either you think personal comments are ok or you don’t. Which is it?

Now you are completely reaching, judging me for things I don't do! Not responding to a comment is neither accepting it or disagreeing with it, it's ignoring it. It was a question to another poster not me. Shall we start playing that game for everyone? So if posters don't comment on a post it means we are in agreement with it? Got it.

Either you think personal comments are ok or you don’t. Which is it?
Or I'm free to comment on whatever posts I want as are you.

Twiglets1 · 21/06/2025 12:57

Can you just answer a straightforward question @ComeAsYouAreAsAFriend about whether you think personal questions are ok or not?

Whatsinanamehey · 21/06/2025 12:58

@Dangermoo enjoy your picnic!

@Twiglets1 yes, i did ask a personal question, it was nothing like the offensive post that was deleted. I think dangers subsequent post explaining why they made the comment clarifies their initial comment. I think they have been on here long enough to take a bit of heat and dish it out too! 😂
However, @Dangermoo if you were very offended then I do apologise.

Im off to enjoy my afternoon in the park too.

I've been clear on that already. I don't and I also take issue with assumptions being made about a person's view on something and words put in their mouth

Twiglets1 · 21/06/2025 13:08

@Whatsinanamehey nevertheless your post was of a personal nature and seemed designed to mock.

Looks like most of us are having time off MN for a bit now and that’s probably a good thing.

Hope everyone has a good day in the sunshine.
