Zacs has posted many more posts than Naomi on this thread but said nothing about the incident. Why pick on Naomi?
Question Author
You didn't answer my Q, Zacs

How on earth am I pretending I am Reuters?

Please put some of your bestest logic forward.
I see it happened on Yonge Street I know that street very well - it's the main shopping street in Toronto. What's the world coming to? (as they say)
237SJ, You’re posting some very odd comments tonight.

SP, //all you’ve done is made comments about what others have said.//

You must have missed it when I said “Whoever is responsible, with nine dead and sixteen injured it's newsworthy”

Ladybirder, //Why pick on Naomi? //

Anyone's guess really, but probably because I disagreed with him earlier and he's still smarting.
L ladybirder

Because naomi24 directed a comment to me (at 22:40) saying that “other people may have something to say about the attack” and at that point, all she had done was direct comments at other posters.

That’s what I meant with my original comment. We’ve now got to a point where we are talking not about the attacks themselves, but the reaction to the attacks...
Naomi. "Odd" is subjective. Maybe I just don't like being patronised. On that note I will bid you goodnight
ladybirder

Before you get the wrong idea, note that naomi24 first initiated a remark towards me in this thread, not the other way around. Just don’t want you to get the wrong impression. ;-)
237SJ , who patronised you and when?

SP, //at that point, all she had done was direct comments at other posters.//

Read the posts and try again.

School's out on here tonight and I left school quite some time ago so I'm off to bed. Night all.
Yes me too, goodnight all.

He's a very lucky (or maybe he thinks he is unlucky) man

I don't see a problem with someone posting news items like this. Quite often I hear news such as celebrity deaths on here and news of these car/lorry crash killings is usually brought to us within minutes.
The problem is that aa lot of posters start making comments (eg why are the BBC not giving us a description, nudge nudge wink wink ) and speculating before the facts are known. I'm not sure what Zac's issue is here though- unless he thinks this is just another way to renew discussions on race, Muslims, immigration, 'mental health' etc.
Other news agencies are posting the name of the alleged attacker. So far, terrorism hasn't been ruled in or out.
Yes, the name was mentioned earlier by a couple of posters.No we don't know the reasons yet - the only statement was about it not being thought to relate to national security.
I am not sure what the issue is some have with Talbot posting the news last night.It was factual and didn't neccessarily lead the discussion down the usual route as happened with what I saw as provocative title last time

As I explained last night, it wasn’t Talbot posting news in the news section but his rather rude assumption that people reading it were seeing it for the first time, which I found odd.
Question Author
Still talking out of your rear then, Zacs.

Unless of course you can answer my question posted above... Oh and also direct me to where I made the assumption that posters were reading about the incident for the first time.
// so I'm off to bed. Night all. //
so off you all go ..... still squabbling in the bedroom I think

are we any further forward in the nutcase/ terrorist debate at 0800 the next day ?
// but his rather rude assumption that people reading it were seeing it for the first time,//

yup he was right - I am seeing it for the first time....
Zacs, I can’t see where Talbot assumed that people here were reading this news for the first time or where he was rude. I don’t watch television or listen to radio 24/7 so Talbot’s post was the first I’d heard of this incident. Likewise news of the Stephen Lawrence memorial day, the birth of the Cambridge’s baby, and the death of the marathon runner reached me through these pages. Last night I was of the opinion that you were grinding an axe.

PeterPedant, My … you’re off to an early start today and still getting it wrong. I haven’t mentioned terrorists or nutcases.
//Are we any further forward in the nutcase/ terrorist debate//

Yes, I've decided - on the preponderance of the evidence - that you're not guilty of the latter charge, Peter.
