@twinkerzzz But your own post there is off-topic & without worth. The more so since your anger is misplaced; somebody else started the inflammatory stuff.

@raphjd Criticising one law and the newspaper which has championed it is not "bashing conservatives". It was literally a criticism of the law in the title of the thread! You have made a grossly incorrect assumption about me and my politics based on this single comment. This particular law happens to have been passed by a rightwing government, had it been passed by a leftwing government and promoted by virtue signallers at The Guardian newspaper I would have been equally critical of it. A bad law is a bad law regardless of who passed it. There is no need to take such criticism so personally as an attack on your personal beliefs.
The whole world is not a toxic left v right, us v them contest like you seem to see it. Like I said, I come from a different political culture and this pointless trench warfare is something which adds literally nothing to political discourse.
BTW What you did is the epitome of a strawman argument. You brought up negative things done by someone else to draw attention away from the issue at hand. As a forum admin I thought you would at least be able to grasp that basic concept.

The person who admitted to bringing politics into the thread is the person who derailed it, with said politics.
This is not the politics section.

@raphjd It's a political topic. Move it to the politics section. You're an admin

I will not play your games.
You brought in your politics. You even admit that.
There was no strawman by me, since I was simply correcting your political falsehoods.

Like I said, I come from a different political culture and this pointless trench warfare is something which adds literally nothing to political discourse.That sounds like a bunch of BS considering you didn't need to bring politics into this discussion, but you chose to.
BTW What you did is the epitome of a strawman argument. You brought up negative things done by someone else to draw attention away from the issue at hand. As a forum admin I thought you would at least be able to grasp that basic concept.You clearly don't even know what the term "strawman" means.
Me correcting your politically motivated lie, to bash conservatives, is not anywhere close to the definition.
This part of the law seems to be an attempt to pander to the moral outrage brigade who are in a perpetual state of Daily Mail induced panic or rage. Its only impact will be to annoy adults who are trying to do something perfectly legal.That is what YOU said.
You fully intended to do the us vs them, you dishonestly claimed to be against, otherwise you would not have done it.
DO NOT try to gaslight us that, that was not your intent.
Hell, you even admitted you made it political, so you knew what you were doing. Now you are butt hurt because I'm not letting you get away with it.

You made it political, when there was no reason for it.
I should give you a vacation, for that stunt.

As the forum mod it's the mod's responsbility to 'treat the off topic contributions as spam' which one presumes means removing it so as to keep the conversation on point; not increasing off topic materal to an inflammatry level.
I note Powpcorn's comments about providing an apology when you've flammed a post.
-
Sorry but Pawcorn is not here any more. Nor was he in charge of the forums.
Also, do not tell me how to the the job I've done for 17 years.

@raphjd You're like a parody at this stage. You're so blinded with rage you can't understand what I'm saying and continue to rant at me because you think I'm a leftist
Thanks for the laughs. I'm taking a self imposed holiday. I suggest you take a few breaths and look at the wider world and perhaps release some of the rage at another target.
"Forum administrator" hahaha

R raphjd locked this topic on

If anyone else wants to join him on his vacation, just let me know.
