Why Are The Bbc's Staff The Only People In The World Who Call Is 'so-Called Is'?
I think it's broadcasts cost thousands of pounds a minute. Why then do they waste licence payers money and patronising them at the same time in this way?
We know that IS is what they choose to call themselves. Only people that by default think we are morons would continue to waste money by insisting the words 'so-called' be used every time they mention IS.

What gets me about this whole 'what should we call them' debate is the suspicion that if I was an ISIS bod I'd be lapping up the implied and uncalled for attention given my organisation , as reflected in the general fretting over a name. I couldn't personally give a damn what we call them - and they will be yesterday's news before long

What offends me is the feeling they have to keep saying 'so-called' because they don't trust us to be able to come to the same conclusion as them.
But that's me, aspergers makes me sensitive to things that other people don't even notice. All my life it's been the same.
Thanks for your interest in my post. The problem is me and not the BBC I just needed to be sure. Low latent inhibition is no fun.

Colm...I have neither heckled nor jeered you. I have countered your post in the normal way, as have most people in this thread.
If I had realised that you had a mental health problem, I may have ignored you daft post. Can I suggest that you warn people in the future, before making any more such posts, so that we can react accordingly.

That seems reasonable. How would you suggest I go about explaining my position on the Aspergers spectrum?
I don't think being like me is a form of mental illness as you suggest. It just makes me notice things others don't seem to. Misophonia is my main problem, especially now we have DAB. I find moist poppy ploppy 'Ps' and 'Ks' particularly excruciating.
Should I start my posts with a 'so-called' not quite right in the head warning?

Get a stop watch and keep saying so-called over and over for a minute. That number of repetitions will not come close to the number of times the BBC insist their people repeat the epithet. However that minute you spent saying the same two words over and over again will have cost iro £20k to broadcast.
