  • So those caught touching children are ok with you unless they lie about it in court?

    As you are one of the most pedantic posters on here, I must ask you.
    What is wrong with touching children? I touch mine every single time I pick them up or kiss them goodnight.

    Now, if you had said "So those caught touching children inappropriately or in any other illegal manner" then I would totally agree with you.

    Yes, just as everyone knew exactly what Exemplar meant by the following comment:

    She should be sacked and not allowed to work in any form of Govt.

    yet this didn't stop AndyMc posting a pedantic reply:
    Until labour get elected she’s not working for the government.

    Doctors?

    Nursery assistants?

    Etc etc......

    Or if you want to actually read what I put it's obvious to anyone not trying to score points in their own mind that I gave an example not a definitive list. I would suggest terrorists and murderers are also not really suitable for government!

    Answering with a pedantic reply yourself isn't really going to change another poster's behaviour much...

    But you fail to realise no water in your washer bottle is a criminal offence so you need to be careful with your sweeping statements.

    Maybe, maybe not but if AndyMc realises that he is far from perfect and makes mistakes just like everyone else, then he might not be quite so pedantic in the future.
