    Isn't that was everyone is doing ?

    Or is it a matter of if certain users want to ask questions or express their opinions then that's fine but if others want too or disagree (especially if it's someone I get on with) then they are 'burning witches at the stake'

    The statement was made some have agreed and others haven't yet you seem to be implying that those who haven't agreed have done so in a way that has harmed the user making the statement.

    Maybe it is best for folks who disagree with anything to also do so by PM as saying you disagree in this particular public forum seems to get you made out to be a bad person.

    I'll bow out of this now before I get accused of anything else.

    I have always said if you ask questions you should be prepared to hear what you want to hear but also what you don't want to hear. Not everyone is going to agree with you. Personally I like to hear the other side of the "argument" because this is how we learn and can see things from other peoples side.

    I just think Moneybot has taken a bit of a whipping from this one, I am sure she will be in no way harmed by this thread and will be sitting laughing at the cafuffle she has made :)

    No one is bad for having a different opinion to you, they just have to know how to express their own opinion constructively and politely.

    Good evening peeps, my newt and I are back from a hard day at the office to see how all you lovely compers are doing.

    Mansey - don't worry about me and a bit of whipping; I would say I usually charge extra for that but I'm not sure if this is the right forum for that discussion ;).

    I never expect everybody to agree with me unless it's on the right thing to feed my newt as it is my newt after all. Being in favour of all people being equal I am more than happy other views being posted as long as those posting are happy for "no really???" posts back.:shocked:

    Lovely to see the original thread I was having bumping issues with is still on page one and has turned nasty. Come on guys what is wrong with using CCC for chat and the main competition board for the answers? And maybe the answer just once.

    Mind you I now know who somebody has reincarnated themselves as; I know we aren't allowed to discuss other forum users so I will say welcome back and your secret is safe with me ;)

    I shall give her whatever size portions I see fit.

    MY NEWT
    :mad:


    Actually for those of you with long memories, it isn't my newt, I stole her from another poster.

    (If your going to be a witch and burned at the stake should your newt not be a toad?) :D
