Use of 'non-sequitur' caused a flame war here about a decade ago - at a time when all was sweetness and light in this group according to those now looking backwards through high-strength rose-tinted glasses. ;-) AIUI things were better when we had very knowledgeable, highly respected people Philip Eden and Will Hand posting (correct me if I am wrong). The feeling I am getting from what people have posted on this group is that things like trolling, personal attacks and petty bickering have all but destroyed the group, hence I find it hard to understand an "anything goes" philosophy when certain behaviour is deemed to be detrimental to the group as a whole. Why not speak out at behaviour that is destructive? I guess it comes down to whether you think the rights of the individual trump the rights of the community as a whole, or vice versa. The truth is Philip Eden left a very long time ago and Will far more recently and Will left because of Dawlish pure and simple. Some hint Philip left because of me but I wouldn't flatter myself so to believe that a great knowledgeable forecaster like Philip would go because of of some dunce like me. Come on I never had much to do with Philip, only when he emailed me a couple of time. |

I only asked if he still hung out here, since he seems to have moved to alt.gw where he, like a seagull, flaps his arms, squauks a lot, and ****s all over the place. If you want to look for a perpetrator just open up one of GArveys posts and see the way he talks to people. No one forces you to read his posts. He can talk to people how he likes, unless he resorts to libellous comments which are unlawful. If you don't like how he talks to you, you have two choices. Either you argue your point of view as best as you can, or you keep quiet. What you do not do, is trawl around other newsgroups for volunteers to back up your cause against him. Like it or not - that is how your bullying starts. "your bullying". My god you have to be a sock puppet there is no other rationale He spelt the name wrong, it should be yttawt. |

I agree Larry. You would. He has the same far right-wing and horribly xenophobic views as you do and you find a soul-mate in him. Some are more equal than others in our country. The minorities, are given preferential treatment, women in favour of men, non whites in favour of whites, gays in favour of straights. The term “Person of colour”, offends me, does this mean that Caucasians don’t have a colour to their skin and so are invisible? Did he really say this?? The tripe that has been written by this core of discriminatory, far-right-wingers on this thread is quite incredible. It's when people like this are challenged that they detest the challenger and will do and say, *anything* to try to discredit the challenger and pull others round to their cause. It starts with their views on climate change, but scratch the surface and you find this kind of foulness. However, have a single one of them ever noticed that it simply doesn't work (I'm still here. still happily posting and still enjoying posting) and you would be far better off just defending your views (if you can - and therein lies a real difficulty for them and the core of their problems) or ignoring the people you don't like? People leave groups for all sorts of reasons, as was said on a very sensible thread a while ago and newsgroups are slowly dying. Good for the people leaving; I hope they enjoy their weather elsewhere in moderated groups, or talking on their own blogs, but have you noticed that more have stayed? Good for them if they come back too; anyone is welcome, even stalkers and yes; I do attract them. More fool the idiots (and yes, there are a few) for trying to use them for their purposes. Fancy this lot trying to say that they are "bullied" by one person. shakes head and laughs |

Larry, the general public is being pressured from two sides. Yes, there is the communist with their PC rubbish. Also, there are the greedy lawyers, with their litigation frenzy which as taken a stranglehold of our society. I think the "storm" tonight will probably just be a rather bad autumn storm with 60mph gusts along the south coast, elsewhere over England 40mph winds.

The police themselves now rarely fight crime anymore and the only thing they are good for is attacking and penalising the honest citizen for silly misdemeanours like being late with the tax disc, or not wearing a seat belt, drifting in a bus lane. Several weeks ago on a Friday afternoon my next door neighbour call at my door to tell me the neighbour opposite burglar alarm had been ringing on and off all afternoon.

After the latest posting of contributor's address (I don't care if the address was genuine or not) this group is now totally scraping the barrel. I'm out to join the many others who have been forced out by the idiots. This is a problem that used to be faced only by the letters editors of newspapers and magazines. Every day they would weed out the nutters, the pathological,and the green ink brigade, and tidy up those letters with bad punctuation and spelling, leaving us with a sanitised view of reality. They needed the carapace of a tortoise. Now we are all in the same boat. I for one, a bloke of fairly moderate views-although I am an unreformed Thatcherite!- was pretty shocked initially at the bile and spleen hurled at me for my thoughts on, e.g., nuclear power, Arthur Scargill, etc, but now realise that the way to deal with it is to realise that inoffensive folk- as 90% of us are on this site and many others-hold the moral high ground, and that offensive stuff is recognisable almost immediately. Don't read further than the first sentence, and never, ever, dignify them with a reply. N |
