And, if I've achieved nothing else here, I have 'quite amused' someone who finds real life so interesting that she has made 18,354 posts on this forum alone. :eek:

People like James and Atush have already helped far more people by giving up their time to come on here and deal with people's pension problems than you ever will. By throwing abuse at them all you do is remove any lingering doubt in people's minds as to what kind of person you are. Goodbye.

Slightly miffed - given your mud slinging and accusations can you detail what you have down to help anyone, whether they be 196@s women or anyone else?

Using your artistic skills or empathy perhaps?

Good for them - must give them a much-needed sense of purpose. I truly don't care what a handful of women (or men) think about me personally. As I have said, you don't know me - you only see what I 'choose' to post.

'Throwing abuse' well, when my very first post on this thread was met with the usual MSE sheep-mode 'WASPI attacks', I think I feel justified in making a case for the defence m'lud. :rotfl:

Cheerio.

Please take the time to read my reply to Pollycat's almost identical question on an earlier post. (yawn).

Mud-slinging? Oh nooooo! and I thought I was beginning to fit in nicely here...you could say my 'empathy' was to try and become more like some of 'you' here. Don't tell me I'm also 'a failure' at that!

Have a great weekend.

Can't locate that in your slightly strange stream of consciousness postings.

You have received logical, rational and calm responses to your hysterical ranting silver many pages.

You've also promised to leave the sad people on here several times, but it looks as though you just want the last word, so will await your next response.

Can I just say that I always knew about these changes, even though they don't affect me, as I was one of the last to get my pension at 60. There has been plenty of publicity, and whilst it is not a crime to be ignorant/not interested in pensions, then being uninformed is a consequence of that.

It's like those older women who paid the married womens' stamp and are now grizzling that they are not now getting a pension. That was a choice they made and not getting the pension is the consequence. Some say they didn't know the consequences, but after forty years in the workplace they must have come across it at some point and you could change at any time, like I did after a year, when I relalised that not to pay the full stamp was a no-brainer.

Be uninformed if you must, but be prepared for the consequences.

Why have you never, as Saver suggested, tried to help women less financially astute rather than pull up the ladder, laughing?

What makes you and Saver think that someone who doesn't support WASPI has never tried to help women?

You appear to know an awful lot about people who you, in reality, know just about next to nothing about. I ignore your ludicrous assertions that some on here must be xyz on Twitter, and I urge you to stop further speculation over whether any of the posters has ever helped any women, or any men or children, for that matter.

Hmmm, I wonder if there is an ignore option for a thread? Maybe I should simply stop reading this one as it clearly has no common ground between the protagonists and is not really adding any insight to the problem under discussion.

The purpose of many of these posts could have been to help others? After all, that's the main purpose of the MSE forum, to be a place where people can get and/or exchange meaningful and trustworthy information. Bottom line though, it's none of your (or my) business how many or how few posts anyone makes on MSE.

The feeling is mutual, at least with me - I really couldn't care what you think of me, and I doubt any of the posters has changed their mind on WASPI on the basis of your input. If anything, your contributions have re-inforced the opinion I previously held on the campaign.

Some people just don't believe what many of us know to be true, that we didn't receive letters warning about this.

This whole "I didn't get a letter" argument really embarrasses those who make it, and deeply so. Surely anyone who has been planning (as we are so often told) to get their state pension on date X would also have wanted to know how much exactly they would get each week? How did they work out that number? The only way to figure this out for certain would be a state pension forecast, which would include the state pension information.
