QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jun 27 2017, 03:36 PM) That s right; I find playground ignorance tiresome. Take heart, 'If they attack you personally, it means they have not a single political argument left' as Mrs Thatcher once said. It was her supporters who pulled her down; Tories don't ever seem to learn!

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Jun 27 2017, 07:31 PM) Surely the whole point of any forum is either to argue your cause or disagree with the views of others. Once it degenerates into personal attacks, ( however justified ), the impetus is lost. Only a complete bigot would consider himself to hold views beyond question or be man enough to accept that the other party may just be right. In an ideal world that might be true, but I think a lot of forums and social networking sites are full of egotist with not much to share other than ignorance or bigotry and these people seek out like minded people to help support their views. If true the chances of a meaningful debate are small.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Jun 27 2017, 10:10 PM) That, isnt irony. get a grip. There is more than one type of irony, but it is ironic that you should appear to be so offended by a behaviour that underpins many if not most of the things you post here.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jun 28 2017, 12:17 AM) There is more than one type of irony. Irony. The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. Or, A state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result. To which 'type' were you alluding to?

To which 'type' were you alluding to? One wouldn't expect someone who complains about someone else being a certain way, is themselves a model example of that they complain of.
