I agree.You are entitled to disagree. Good for debate.
Fair point well put.:o I stand corrected on forum etiquette and have edited the post.You are entitled to disagree. Good for debate.
But you aren't entitled to use a quote from someone, alter it and present it in your post as an authentic quote when it isn't!
The point I was making stands.0 -
Are you liable, is the child liable, is it the parents etc i'm not sure.
But I dont see why you cant come to an agreement to compensate the neighbour - it's not his fault the girl scratched his car and so through no fault of his own he now has a scratched car which he didn't have before.
Why do you think the poor guy has to end up with his shiny car scratched through no fault of his own?
I love my car to bits, and if I ever catch someone damaging it they WILL be paying to fix it.
(my car has been hit with a football at least twice and is covered is small dents and scratches. None of which are even my fault...!)Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.0 -
If the granddaughter had been playing football and booted the ball through a plate glass window, would the owner of the window be entitled to compensation?
Of course he would.
Pay up.0 -
I'm now a retired teacher... hooray ...:j
Those who can do, those who can't, come to me for lessons:cool:0 -
Regarding the etiquette, I conceded and corrected the forum quoting error that you highlighted.So I don't really see the point in you posting regarding correcting the matter and etiquette!
If your point was relating to duplication because I edited, then posted I had done so, I think that is acceptable in the same way as your later post and edit only serves to reiterate a point..
Back to the thread and regarding the matter, the underlying point of my post #31 was that your post:It was just the consequence of the accident.
implies there is no course of redress by including the word "just". IMO the word "just" in that sentence is misplaced and only serves to mitigate or eliminate any course of redress.0 -
Why prolong the issue?
I took exception to you posting a quote from me complete with your own alteration. (So it isn't actually how I quoted at all).
You then replied that you agreed with me regarding the issue of interfering with my post, and made a show of putting matters right when you did no such thing.
What was all this about - if not to cause more trouble:

I'm wasn't prolonging anything - rather ironic that you say that with a post like this.Why prolong the issue?
I took exception to you posting a quote from me complete with your own alteration. (So it isn't actually how I quoted at all).
You had (have) the issue with me mis-quoting, I acknowledged that issue, corrected the post and advised accordingly. SORTED - 12 minutes after you brought it to my attention.
To add some context, one word of your quote was struck through with reasons posted directly below. Other posters are capable of reading what is posted, edited and mis-quoted.
I'm sure you have a reason for feeling you are entitled to edit my posts here and then mis-quote me with all the context removed.
What next plagiarism police?
More trouble?You then replied that you agreed with me regarding the issue of interfering with my post, and made a show of putting matters right when you did no such thing.

I don't see where there was any to start with. I'm sure there are worse things in life than one misplaced word, especially when it is corrected.
To answer your question, when you edit posts there is an optional box where you can enter the reason for editing. In the case above I elected to do so with the reason as posted.
Perhaps when you were editing posts after my correction you missed this option.#32

ANYWAYS, now I've hopefully answered your points I'll reiterate the point relevant to the thread:
IMO the word "just" in that sentence is misplaced and only serves to mitigate or eliminate any course of redress.0 -
No idea what the legal standpoint would be on this, but the por guy's just had his car scratched through no fault of his own so it's only fair that he's compensated to have it fixed.

The child didn't just fall off the bike though, she caused damage in doing so.
And?
Under what act and section could the "child" be made to pay up?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0
