Can we judge a person's character by their stance on the case?

[Vertigo Swirl]

It’s the intention that matters, not the result.

That's not what some sceptics say when appearing to defend vile comments about the McCanns on social media.

Shouldn’t we be better than that ?

No Snowflakes on here, I don't think.  So what's the point?

I think so, the question is - can we be?  Not all the while threads like this are started to deliberately antagonise.  I am fully prepared to debate your theories objectively and without recourse to any name-calling, or judgements about your personality, your age, what clothes you wear, what sort of house you live in, your nationality, your political beliefs, not even in light-hearted banter.  We tried it once before as I recall and you got cross with me after about two exchanges and flounced off.

Deliberately antagonise? You can’t antagonise individuals if they don’t want to be antagonised.

Did I get cross ? I honestly don’t remember...and I don’t tend to flounce..but it’s a memory you’ve obviously retained so I have to bow to your recall.

Shall we start again ?

[Angelo222]

in your opinion...its not really of any importance what you think of anyone here and its not of any importance what they think of you....

I strongly disagree. Some of us look upon this forum as a community, some people are known while others prefer to remain anonymous.  I for one wouldn't dream of intentionally upsetting anyone here, anonymous or not.

Exactly.

If you find a thread not to your liking, then don't participate in it.

Didn’t you just write “it’s the intention, not the result”?  What was the intention of this thread do you think?

From your behaviour on here you do seem to crave attention...positive or negative doesn’t really matter as long as it’s attention. Perhaps that’s something you need to look at ?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Exactly.

I participated in this thread because my words were dragged over from another thread and misrepresented, in an attempt to attract ridicule IMO.  I won’t stand for that.

If it doesn't bother you, why do you feel the need to respond ?

I think your question needs to be directed at the individual who started the thread.

Spare us the free psychiatric evaluations, please!
