Of course you didn't - I did!

I was answering the points within your post, indicated by bolding - not an uncommon technique on forums.

Yes, but confusing though.

Well thank you, Scotswimmen, for deleting most of your posts. Randomly deleting posts is a well-known trait of the WASPI campaign, so I am not surprised to see you do that. Fortunately, for those who are big enough to stand for what they posted, not everything people post gets deleted when a WASPI throws a strop.

Only for those who are deliberately choosing to be confused.

Perhaps MSE was not one of the best places to do this.


Most threads end up in an argument of some description!

Seems I'm not allowed to include links here because new user (to avoid spam) so those who were disputing Parliament suggested this site, can look up Parliament website then Commons Select Committee then Debate: Transitional State Pension Arrangements for 1950s women:Get involved/Online discussion
"On Thursday 7 January, MPs debated the effect of the equalisation of the state pension age on women. There was a lot of public interest in this debate and many members of the public discussed their experiences and views on this subject online, on social media and forums.

The Petitions Committee has agreed to do all it can to maximise the potential for petitioners and other members of the public to be involved with debates on petitions. Ahead of the debate on 1 February, there were online discussions on the following forums:

Money Saving Expert
Mumsnet
Gransnet
Participants in the discussions were invited to respond to the following questions:

What were the most important points in the debate on 7 January for you?
What do you think should have been covered that was not?
What points do you think a second debate should focus on?
What questions would you ask the Minister following their response to the debate?
A summary of the discussions will be published online and made available to MPs taking part in the debate."

My MP has just replied to my email-I am letting him know how I have been treated here (how dare anyone say I am not responsible!) & will not be engaging further with this website.

At 10 o'clock at night? I very much doubt it.

Colsten, I have not deleted any posts-another distortion of the truth!

That is unfair and unnecessary.


Unless you have experience of this website it can be confusing and you are being ungracious in accepting that.

Just out of interest what posts have they deleted?

You seem to be confused about who I was replying to.

I agree-Missbiggles has been ungracious &, in my opinion, vindictive towards me (I will qualify this further)- because I do not share her views; in response to my first ever post on MSE. Anyone reading her Comment on the Internet (not familiar with Forums, like me)would think I wrote, what she added to 'my' post, after she had copied it into hers. She then mocked me for ' deliberately choosing to be confused' (when clearly from my profile I am a newcomer)-thank you Poppyoscar for your support. I have reported it to MSE, as more than one person here suggested. I am appalled that Parliament had suggested we were to express our views here,(or mumsnet/gransnet) prior to the Debate in Parliament 1st Feb (I am aware that date has just passed-that was part of what I was commenting on-I hadn't been notified although linked into Parliament pensions notices);due to the antagonism of some posters here .
