    I have reported your post melly1980.



    If you can't formulate an articulate reply without resorting to name calling, then perhaps your time would be better spent widening your vocabulary. Are you always so rude to those that disagree with you?

    By the way plundered means "To seize wrongfully or by force". Just so you know.

    fine

    counter reported for attibuting comments to me that I didnt make. Have it your way.

    I also note with interest that it is you who made the first personal comment to me. Practice what you preach and dont get a lip wobble on when you get it back.

    Melly, you really are a charmer!

    but it was ok for the first personal comment to be lashed at me?

    And for what, because the person accused me of say "all minimum wage workers are ...."

    I never qualified the comment with "all"..it wasnt said. It was a lie and based on that lie i was called narrow minded. The person is completewly out of order hence reported.

  • melly, I didn't quote you as saying all minimum wage.. I asked
    Would that be all people on minimum wage or just those that disagree with your narrow minded viewpoint?

    If you can't tell the difference between a quote and a question, well that is not my fault.

    you implied that I was narrow minded based on a view that I hadnt even expressed. Remove it or I'll get it removed.

    I have no issue with you critisisng my posts, I take issue when it isnt allowed back.

    I dont think calling someone narrow minded and calling someone a soft-@rse are quite in the same league, and you know that!

    makes no odds, it was an unjustified personal attack and one based on something I hadnt even said. If people dont like it dont dish it out. Im more than happy for someone to challenge my post and call me narrow minded provided they dont run off crying to the mods when they get it back.

    the thing is that it will overall be a vote winner because it appeals to the unwashed masses who through their own lack of ambition, drive and an inability to see past their next packet of fags and trip to Benidorm will never see such a salary.


    And you wonder why you get reported with comments like that? I sincerely hope you don't find yourself with a disability in the future where you can't work.

    I don't work due to a work's accident. That doesn't make me part of the great unwashed, nor have I ever been to Benidorm. I can however see past my next pack of cigs. And would never begrudge someone who earns more than me the luxury of CB, and harbour no feelings of jealousy towards those who earn more than me. And as for it being a vote winner.... Not a hope in hell. Anyone who is having to rely on benefits, and I mean those who NEED them, not the social scroungers, are being hit hard by all the changes that are being made, do you really think people are so naive to vote for a government who are taking CB from the higher earners while their own money is being cut left right and centre?


    And as for your peasant comment... This is the 21st century. I may be as poor as a church mouse, but in manners I would like to say I'm richer than you.

    I think if you look back through the thread and the context etc you will deduce that I have wrote this because I might as well do since it would be attributed to me anyway by someone who then goes on to try and take the moral high ground.

    correct, it was and deliberately so because this seems to be the way to do it. This was demonstrated the second that I was branded in the way that I was.
