Wow!

[naomi24]

AH, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so thank you for that. How nice :o)

[andy-hughes]

naomi - // AH, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... //

And sacrasm is the lowest form of wit.

[naomi24]

That's not sarcastic - it's appreciative. Thank you again.

[andy-hughes]

naomi - // That's not sarcastic - it's appreciative. Thank you again. //

That clicking sound you can hear is you being reeled in - again!!

[naomi24]

Keep fishing.

[andy-hughes]

naomi - // Keep fishing. //

Fishing is when you are trying to catch something - I'm reeling, that 'catch' part is done!!

[naomi24]

Oh, are you? Righto ....

[Peter Pedant]

// AH, why do you need to be aware of the OP’s opinion before posting your own? Would his opinion influence yours? Your argument makes no sense.//

er yeah - that is why it is called a discussion.

otherwise the more gormless Abers cd answer - yes I agree - or 'no'. oops there are a lot of them already.

as for freedom of speech - who thinks america has freedom of speech - they have libel laws for chrissakes - are we back to THAT again. - and as for the freedom to praise racist comments as has happened on Answerbank recently- no I dont we should have this freedom.

and yes this comment is dependent on what has gone before

( note if it is clear to an eight year old then you are aiming to high)

excuse Naomi - arent you an arch deleter on answerbank, of opinions you may not agree with on the day?

[Peter Pedant]

Andie - it doesnt matter what she says today
it will be the opposite tomorrw

[naomi24]

PP, me a deleter? Don't be silly.

[andy-hughes]

// excuse Naomi - arent you an arch deleter on answerbank, of opinions you may not agree with on the day? //

To be a 'deleter', 'arch' or otherwise, naomi would need to be a moderator, and to the best of my knowledge she is not.

That said, Moderators are not permitted to delete posts simply because they personally do not agree with them, so even if Naomi were a Moderator, I am sure she would not abuse the privilege.

[Peter Pedant]

excuse me Naomi
werent YOU the one who was screaming harassment over some of my posts about um your "opinions" and having them deleted?

so much for freedom of speech - - today !

[andy-hughes]

PP - // Andie - it doesnt matter what she says today
it will be the opposite tomorrw //

I would have to disagree there - naomi and I may disagree on a daily basis, but i would never accuse her of being inconsistent in her views and opinions.

[Peter Pedant]

I recall a very amusing spat AH when you were being called on
to self-delete !

[andy-hughes]

PP - // ... and having them deleted? //

How many times??????

No-one can 'have opinions deleted' - it's not allowed.

[andy-hughes]

PP - // I recall a very amusing spat AH when you were being called on
to self-delete ! //

Do you?

Good for you.

I don't ...

[naomi24]

PP, //werent YOU the one who was screaming harassment over some of my posts about um your "opinions" and having them deleted?//

Nothing to do with my opinions. I reported you for harassment.

[Peter Pedant]

oh god I would -

I recall the great measles vaccine are dangerous but I have had my own children vaccinated debate - - which opened up the freedom of speech debate

[naomi24]

Go and have a lie down, PP.
