It would seem you already have, most debatable.

Perhaps before you criticise others, you first get a little more practice yourself at entering questions.

After all only 120 questions entered in over 8 years of membership, but credit where it is due you have posted 22,318 attacks on others threads and posts in your 8 years of sitting on the fence.

AOG - are you having a bad day?

This lashing out at other AB'ers for no good reason is going to end in tears.

[jackthehat]

LoL......
I think it's time to duck as there now seems to be a whole fleet/squadron/hug of teddy-bears being flung about....:o)

[-Talbot-]

AB is a strange plce of late!

AOG
But to answer your question, this is a news report entered on the news section for debate, isn't that what AB is all about.

[-Talbot-]

@alls... I never pressed submit on that earlier post

Anyway I'm not sure what can be debated here 'A man is accused of rape'

????

You never said in your OP that he was guilty AOG

Also I'm not sure how jno and andy seem to think you said he was guilty in the OP.

[-Talbot-]

Cripes...but I'm sure you get the drift!

No it is not me who is having a bad day.

/// This lashing out at other AB'ers for no good reason is going to end in tears.

I am not in the habit of lashing out at people for no good reason, I have been on here long enough to know those who purposely set out to try and capsize my threads, then the other usual suspects then tend to follow in their tracks.

Perhaps then you could offer your reason for your hostility to jno, followed by your hostility to myself, and then your hostility to jack - none of which are remotely merited in my opinion.

jno asked a pertinent question, as did I, and jack has been reviled for 'attacks' and 'sitting on the fence' - entirely uncalled for when offered against one of the AB's most balanced and good-humoured posters who has used that good humour to put up with some of your pointed remarks against her in the past.

All three of us cannot be that wrong, surely.

Whoever he is, whatever his family background - if he is found to be a rapist, I hope he is dealt with properly and severely.

[-Talbot-]

You and Jno are in this instance, andy.

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - //You and Jno are in this instance, andy.

Jno and I are what please?

[-Talbot-]

Wrong!

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - would you care to elaborate on that rather brief statement please?

[-Talbot-]

OP
Nelson Mandela's Grandson Charged With Child Rape.


AOG...Who is jumping to any rash conclusions, and no body has said that he is guilty of anything?

jno...perhaps you could explain exactly why you did post your OP, then?

andy-hughes...I would like to add to jno's request for clarification please.

And what do you see as wrong there please?

[-Talbot-]

AOG's statement is correct.

'Who is jumping to any rash conclusions, and no body has said that he is guilty of anything?'

Isn't it?

[naomi24]

I would have thought that people post news items in 'News' because it's news. It's not that difficult to understand.

This place is becoming more deliberately argumentative by the day! Ridiculous!

[-Talbot-]

Gromit posts

But before we jump to any rash conclusions, we should remember that this is just an accusation at the moment. He has not been found guilty of anything.


If he had posted that after jno's reply, Gromit could have been talking about AOG and not Mandela's grandson.

In 'YOUR' opinion Andy

/// All three of us cannot be that wrong, surely. ///

In 'MY' opinion, yes you all are.

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - //AOG's statement is correct.

'Who is jumping to any rash conclusions, and no body has said that he is guilty of anything?'

Isn't it? //

It is indeed correct.

But it was directed at Gromit - so how do jno and jack and I become involved in being 'wrong' about something none of us commented on?
