    Quite.
    But the way you always seem to find yourself in the midst of controversy on threads does make me wonder what your real objectives are.
    Now can we please get back to helping Gwen?

    What was that you said on the other thread about carrying business over from one thread to another?
    Oh yes. It was another !!!!!!!! statement made by RacyRed.

    The problem with it is that although what you say about it is true, [in this particular case] when the police take on board information at this level, it also becomes a very cheap way for someone who is not like gwen to put a perfectly innocent man in serious trouble because she dislikes him. It is tittle tattle until and unless the teller of the tale is prepared to stand up in court if necessary.

    Its called intelligence. They collect it. It is not for court but it is acted on if & when subsequent events occur. Loads of innocent people have intelligence noted against their names & they will never know about it. Millions in fact.

    Edit: And the person with the grudge would be pressing for charges because that is the only way they could achieve their goal.

    Keep knocking mate. That database is one of the better inventions of the 21st Century. Who gets access to it is another matter entirely.

    Gwen, I'm so sorry about what is happening here.

    As fast as one gets dealt with another rolls up. It appears to be the nature of the beast. Whatever the root of this particular forum problem is, it has nothng to do with you or your experience.

    Thinking of you and wishing you well.
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    Get over your own self-importance. DVardysShadow & I were discussing the benefits of giving the police information on sexual crimes. Which by the way is completely on the topic, current & applicable.If you apologise or make vindictive remarks again then I will come back & reply.

    Sorry for feeling the need for correcting a dodgy legal claim & pretty much questionable advice for victims of what I would call serious crime. Nah, I am not sorry. Enough of your attention seeking.

    I don't like your tone. In the quoted post and others. I have taken my side of the debate out. I am getting the impression that I am being used for something I am unaware of.


    I noticed you took your comments out. There where a few times I didnt like your tone, or RacyReds tone (nothing new).

    Personally I side with Uncertain & do not believe in deleting posts.

    Its a public forum & everything I have said is on the topic, factual, current to the thread & actually good advice (unlike some of the rubbish & misinformation).

    Whether you like my tone or not is neither here nor there. Unfortunately for you some of your posts remain on my posts. I would hope you have a little read at what you wrote & maybe think twice about them.

    I will scale them down a bit to make it easier reading.

  • I

    Pfft. If the edit stamp appears in your posts, you will be making my comments unattributable. Your call. As for thinking twice about them, I would happily leave them up if I did not feel I was being used to further some other issue you seem to have. However, for the sake of gwen's thread, I think they should come down. I would happily make the points again if I was debating with someone about whom i did not feel so suspicious.


    Really.

    Come on now, you were well and truly trounced by zzzLazyDaisy on the legal point.

    You've said your say one way or another. There is nothing to be gained by you in making the same points again - whatever your views on them. There is certainly nothing to be gained by Gwen from you doing so.

    I know its tempting to continue again and again to try to have the last word - but it doesnt show a person up as a "winner" to do so - therefore gold star for them. What it DOES do is show that the person has an ego - and that is not a compliment to them.

    Now - please - leave it out.
