So is it a free for all now to see who can find the most citeless posts going back 1 year?  Sort of a variation on an egg hunt?

If a poster makes a claim.... And there is a post made 6 months ago that contradicts that claim... Then I think it's, quite legitimate  to post it..... How old was the post relating to my son that you, recently posted ...just checked... It was 3 years old today... Happy birthday to the, 3 year old post you resurrected

Exactly, it becomes pointless. The only reason for using old posts as cites is to support or counter someone’s claim not as the basis of a new argument.

We established that you made 2 false claims about G-unit before finally finding one ( which had been settled at the time ) to complain about. A very different scenario. Anyway that has been put to bed so no more posts on it.

Davel remember it was not me that made that post all I did was try to provide cites. So apology please. Also remember I am still due at least 2 cites from your good self they are on sedation and centreparks. I am sure there was a third too.
Members are reminded that cites must be provided in accordance with the forum rules. On several occasions recently cites have been requested but never provided. Asking for a cite is not goading but compliance.

From this moment onward, posts making significant claims which are not backed up by a cite will be removed.

This forum was a very different place 5 years ago. Resurrecting old posts made under different moderation regimes can only cause disruption.

I believe you did say five years ??

You are the one... And sunny who raised it again... If you keep raising it expect a response

Davel I did NOT make a post about your son all I did was give cites. Apologise and retract. I wasn't here 3 years ago or even 3 months ago remember but I found some mentions of him by you to provide cites.

Davel I am waiting for my apology for when you claimed i made a post about your son.


I didn't claim you posted on another forum as far as I remember I said other supporters could well also post on another forum. If I named you then I can't remember.

No you did NOT Davel.  I will say no more to you for the time being while I cool down.

I joined the internet discussion via Sky  news whose news and the BBC news I read early morning.
I followed the updates about Madeleine's disappearance and noticed there was a comments option.

I clicked on that and read the comments.
I remember my first post which was in response to someone posting about Gerry's "fat ugly sister."
I couldn't believe the attack on the sister of a missing child.

And here I am.

You are making an accusation... You need to prove it.. And as most of the posts have,  probably been wiped... You won't be able to

At 5 to 8 you said you had found the post you were objecting to, please link to it to enable everyone to judge the merit of your claim.

It’s hard to tell, that why I asked you to link to what you are objecting to.
