He wasn't cowering on the video I saw.

Why do you expect him to turn up for someone who had attacked him and called him vile moments before the invitation?

As much as I'd like to reply to all responses I'm sure you can understand that to do so will prob result in a slap, so keep replying I'm enjoying all your responses.

I'm glad that you are enjoying all of the responses... though I  hope that posters will post regardless of your own personal enjoyment (or not ) of their posts.

Soooo, you hope posters will still post but you  hope I won't enjoy reading them????? is that what you are trying to say, lol Have I got that right or woould you rather post again and clarify exactly what you meant

I meant inconsequent, I made it up as an adjective but it fit so well

well i wouldn't criticise that, i invent terms and words. a bit of license is OK with me.

No, you have not got that right.   

There is no way that can fairly be interpreted as she hopes you won't enjoy reading the replies.

I'm sorry, did you mistakenly think I directed my response to you? or have you taken to answering her questions? it's very confusing that's all, because I was expecting a response from the person I responded to.

Why?

It's a public forum.

That's right it is and the OP isn't the only one who may be uninclined to post for fear of slaps.I can't do the pro Liberal vitrioic political posts.The invite was unneccessary really as is the need for posters to please other posters.

but because it was issued and  with the mention of slaps after a thanks to a mod ...things got unnerving to say the least.

 .Knowing that my posts don't really please some  simply as I do not support the things our Current Government says and does......I felt like a fly close to a spider ,

The song 'Things that make you go hmmmm' came to mind 

I do understand the fly on the fly paper feeling as well. If you scroll through this thread you'll see only one other poster on here who was not of the left out of the 79 responses.

So you can imagine all the provocative replies and baits was unnerving to me and that's why I think  the mods came in.

If a person can't post their opinions and views without getting an extended holiday or even a full retirement then it's a sad day for the political fora on here.

If you don't like an opinion isn't it better to put up an some debatable argument rather than snipes, goads, baiting questions ( a favourite of some)  and making it personal that could see a person taking a long trip or full retirement.

This is not gladiator, its political debate and bound to heat up if you don't agree but that's no excuse to shut that poster down by multiple reports or get the thread locked by deliberately antagonising, derailing and disregard for cs guidelines that sees the thread removed.
