    Probably won't hear anything from that poster now. Obviously not really interested in the topic being debated, just out for mischief.

    Such posters come and go. It happens on all forums. Sad really.

    Unfortunately that poster has aliases such as jreacher1 (and daft enough to think other posters won't recognise their "style"!). They are supposed to be on good behaviour having been warned by the forum team fairly recently for their aggressive and inappropriate posts. Hopefully that last comment will be one of their last.

    I thought there was something like that going on. I do like a good debate, especially in defence of teachers, lol, but posters like that make the whole thing seem futile as you are not dealing with rational people at all.

    I would like to think that their last comment was their final, we shall have to wait and see. Of course, there is nothing, presumably, to stop them from re-registering somehow. After all, they have to get their kicks somehow. As I said before, sad, really.

    You are a nasty, offensive poster. If you consider that post a joke then shame on you (and on your alter ego jreacher1) . I sincerely hope your vile comment finally gets you PPR'd permanently.

    In fairness you and me got on alright but then I posted something which disagreed with you and since then you've pursued me with an anger which is unjustified. You want to let it go!

    Do you suggest we all let your recent child molesting comment go?

    Well yes I am surprised a throwaway comment about people aged between 16-18 has led to such anger but I don't really know what I can say. It's best just not to say anything!

    From memory no ages were actually mentioned or suggested.

    At what age would you join in?


    ..or are looks enough for you whatever the girls age??

    Remind me what you said?

    I asked a serious question.

    I ask you yet again how would you deal with it?

    Hopefully by now you will now have realised it's not a simple matter of standing in front of a class for 5-8 hours a day

    That is absolute nonsense. I have made a point of avoiding most threads you comment on as most of the time you set out to be deliberately inflammatory and confrontational and it becomes extremely tiresome.

    On the odd occasions you decide to drop that act you can post some pretty good stuff but then you ruin it by being offensive (evidenced by your recent yellow card).

    You flatter yourself that I would waste my valuable time and energy "pursuing you" as you put it!

    Has it not occurred to you yet that I am not the only poster to find that recent comment repugnant? Even you cannot be that thick skinned, surely?

    All job has difficult aspects. Teaching just has the advantage that after you've dealt with them you can leave at 3:20 :-)

    It's probably best if I leave this thread now as it's getting a bit personal and we've moved into abuse! So I won't comment again.

    You'll all be disappointed ;)

    As per usual, light the blue touch paper and retire feigning innocence!
