It’s nothing of the sort, and that is exactly the type of response I meant by ‘Bucksiron’. You’ll be grouping anyone who doesn’t agree with you as ‘usual suspects’ next. Posters are submitting their opinions to greater or lesser degree. There may be some convergence of opinion, there may be differences. And that is that. Your desire to ridicule and undermine opinions is cheap. ‘Ideological’? Oh the irony. That’s hilarious.
You’re fooling yourself, Deerey. Anyone posting at a tangent to yourself, Heath, 64 etc isn’t always likely to be engaged reasonably in a detailed and robust manner but is potentially setting themselves up for the type of outraged ‘stop, stop, stop ‘ nonsense that I called out …. and then the accusations start. I have never told anyone in my years of intermittent posting to stop presenting their case and I have enjoyed … sometimes with you … some fairly deep and searching exchanges. But recently … and especially on certain topics… it’s just not like that. I’m not that bothered …. although we all like to be listened to and respected … but I do think that I’m a reasonable bloke and express myself clearly but politely. So now, as I ‘do one’,there will be a reduction in the potential for debate and respectful difference. The pitifully small number of interested posters drops again and you have the consolation that the level of agreement is strengthened. I think it’s sad. You don’t think it’s true.
