Well done Hounded Out, you are the best-est at the Internet. Is that what you want to hear?
It's quite sad really. People spend their time offering advice to help others, advice which is often spot on and has helped people in terrible situations and you've nothing better to do with your time than make up fake stories to try and prove some point that only really exists in your imagination. All you really achieve is risking losing good people who don't want to waste their time with idiotic posts.
I suggest you look at yourself before trying to catch others out, be better and lead by example, not through castigation.0 -
Well said Ozzuk0

I asked a simple question and very few members came even close to giving a concise answer. Yes, the reality is that I did largely know the answer to my own question before I asked it. I was just interested to see what the MSE "experts" had to say about the matter. Why you may even have been able to offer some far reaching and superior knowledge.
The reality is that I thought I'd suss out the MSE forum for "research purposes" by asking for simple guidance and compare and contrast your credibility with that of the ACAS Helpline.
You do not know all the facts, and to be fair neither did ACAS when I have spoken to them re the same matter.
ACAS simply asked for a brief summary of the situation and were then able to offer guidance in regard to the question that had been raised.
I also gave MSE a brief summary and also asked a fairly simple question.
For the majority of times your responses were balderdash. Some did answer my simple query, but the majority of responders should with respect simply reign it in and may be better to do something else in life rather than making unfounded and uninspiring comments or offering judgement. You appear to have overly sensitive or inflated egos and on occasions comes across as being rather defensive. Some members also clearly seek to bolster themselves via mutual “back patting”.
I am not being personal. I am merely passing on comments that may assist other new members to gain a more balanced perspective on the limitations of a forum that sets itself out to offer input on key matters such as workplace disputes.
The reality is that a member of the public would be far far better guided to contact the ACAS Helpline. They are professional and though they do not, and can not offer legal advice, their guidance does for the main part appear to be consistent and accurate.
Apologies for taking up your valuable time and for being rather sneaky. My criticism is, however, I believe justified. I gave you some facts and asked a simple question. Your answers for the main part were either off the mark or irrelevant. Well done ACAS. As for this forum, please, please get your act together. You may be doing more harm than good.

For your education you so called experts are referred to the following case which in part answers the legitimate query raised in the thread:

In case another member did refer to said case then I am impressed.0 -

Didn't read this thread initially but read your OP and this, which was very passive aggressive for someone seeking help.
Then skipped to p3 where you are being called out for lying masquerading and fantasising.
This is a forum, not an advice or guidance line.
All you get here are opinions, and you seem intelligent enough to realise that.0 -

Believe it or not, no-one here is trying to impress you - you're not that important0 -

That really is the crux, the OP appears to enjoy belittling other users like he/she is a headmaster telling off primary school children.
But no one cares what the OP thinks given his/her inability to sting a consistent story together.
Speaks volumes about the OP.Originally Posted by shortcrust
