I was flicking through the threads this morning and noted the number of reported posts, looks like the silly season is here again - probably down to the hot weather :-D |

It always puzzles me that people can be bothered and have so much time on their hands. :-S |

When a post gets reported the poster often doesn't know why. So I think it's better to say something if you feel offended by somebody's post. |

When it gets hot, people hit the cold falling down water which then makes the fingers twitch. |

Graham, in the past some posts which have been reported it has been blatently obvious why it was reporeted. |

All I would say is that there are certain threads that are very emotional - probably for one or two posters on Genes. |

When this petty, childish, immature, tit for tat occurs, it tends to discourage me from posting anything, hopefully some resemblance of tranquility will return - sooner rather than later. |

When I was a teenager, my dad told that I should not get into discussions with people about 2 things, religion and politics as they are so personal to us and because of this can cause far too many arguments. Oh how right he was. |

Well I hope it will be remembered next time a media report that is posted that its only a media report and may not be the view of the poster,unless they have stated theirs as they are as entitled to a view as anyone else. |

The elimination process cannot possibly work John. Look at how many people look in......hundreds sometimes.......unless you actually see someone pressing a button you nor anyone can possibly know who is RRing......I have a saying......If a person doesn't like a person.....then they will obviously be number one suspect.... |

I can think of a lot of times we can get hold of an emotive news headline and put it on here with our views. |

There you go again John!....You cannot possibly know a persons motives for posting!.....There is no Proof!.......You and maybe others may see it that way, but I saw it as a post office blurb......I also agree with their sentiments......You may think that The Poster made a faux pas, which you are entitled to......others may not agree with you.......But you cannot possibly know the intention of a post.....unless it is blatantly obvious by its wording.....IE...I am posting this to annoy you etc |

It’s entertaining for the rest of us on the sidelines to have threads with conflicting arguments / opinions. It reminds me of our school debates. |

Hmmmm not sure I hold with that argument entirely Dermot......On the one hand you could be right....on the other....They may have gone out for the day |

I am often surprised how some people fall into the media trap because, newspapers, other media sources, and politicians, of all political persuasions, have a track record of twisting the facts, especially about those issues relating to - immigration, welfare & benefits, corruption in public bodies, and Europe. The result is that they provide fodder for inflammatory headlines, targeted at those who share their views. |
