A request

Can't argue with that HD, also agree with 'a road to Damascus' with you.

The actual road to Damascus....just saying! 

I agree with the OP. Everybody should be able to honestly put forward their opinion without the usual personal remarks or insults by ---- OOPS we are no longer allowed to use collective names so I won't. . .

 I also agree about the school playground analogy. But I don't find that surprising --- Considering !!

K, I am reporting your post. But I am going to be quite open and honest about doing it, and let you read the reason why. You are actively trying to create unpleasantness and divisions amongst what you consider to be " groups" of posters. Not only  in this instance, but quite openly on a good few other threads. The vast majority of individual posters on here may not agree all the time about everything, but on the whole, most of us rub along together, sharing the odd quip, chuckling at the odd bit of humour. But your talk of groups, cliques, them and us, hidden behind a rather transparent ( you think) mask of affability is wearing thin, and is starting to say a great deal about you, and your agenda. I want to show you respect, because I I know you have a deal of knowledge and help to share, but this relentless drive to  sow the seeds of discord are not fair, and on the whole not welcome. You are as entitled to your opinion as anyone, but you are not entitled to manipulate discussions to create unpleasantness or throw in little hooks, hoping that someone will bite. Perhaps I have taken your bait, I don't know, but I honestly and openly hope that this will give pause for thought. I apologise for doing this in this method if it upsets anyone else, that is not my intention.

I shall now press the report button, showing your post, and my thoughts on it, and hope that HQ will understand.

Agree with all of the above. Everyone has a point of view and there will never be total agreement but in a grown up debate  between mature adults should be on a polite and civil basis. Regrettably there are some who hide behind the anominity of social media.

Write your comments here...You are quite within your rights to report any posts which contravene the CC T@C's 

However it is you who have used the forbidden words in your post Your writing quote "  groups, cliques, them and us, " most definitely goes against the instructions of the forum manager.  You should therefore be obliged to report your own post. 

It will be noticed that I complied completely with the forum managers instructions and quite rightly refrained from using any collective nouns to describe anyone. . 

My post was "tongue in cheek" containing a bit of humour -  most reasonable posters will recognise this.  

Obviously humour is something some people like and others abhorr. 

I suspect there is more behind your vitriolic post than the few words of my post which are perfectly innocent and compliant with the current T&C's and if this is the case, your post  is a clear case of Trolling. 

Forums are for exchange of ideas and information, please don't make this one a place for vitriol and insults.

K, TDA's post is a good one. She has put Her case forward & shown you the respect of informing you of Her actions. Your follow up post shows She did the right thing.

Oh dear, i'm going to put my head on the block ,and saw K's post as tongue in cheek........i'll go and stand in the corner

HD, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Heads on blocks don't come into it

Thank you Rocky. I didn't post lightly, and despite not agreeing with what quoted post, I tried to remain respectful and honest. I have no wish to continue posting in this thread now I have said what I felt needed saying without any hidden agenda, deceitful smileys or twisting of words. 

.....I go get some lunch and look what happens!
