Why ask a question then answer it yourself?
Even if we said we had you would argue the toss, that we hadn't.
Well I agree with Alice on this one.  For peace and tranquillity on the forum don't answer your own questions immediately.

Yet when I look at it again Alice seems to have done exactly the same.  Asked a question and then offered a type of answer.  Maybe we all make this mistake from time to time.

I didn't answer the question... Fact... So both you and Alice are wrong... I gave my opinion on what I thought  the answer would be.. Both you and Alice need to read the post again

Whatever, ask a question and don't give your opinion till later.  Let's try that.

It wasn't a rule but "For peace and tranquillity on the forum" as I said earlier.  Applies to everyone not just to you. even me!

Then if it isn't a rule it does not apply to anyone.. I think the forum is running very smoothly...

Not if what you do upsets Alice and makes her say things like this "Why ask a question then answer it yourself?
Even if we said we had you would argue the frigging toss, from a position of ignorance, that we hadn't.".

So has anyone who questions  the umms and errs in the transcripts ever seen another transcript... I feel the answer to my question will be no....

Is that an unacceptable  post

So I now must not post things which upset Alice... Even if they are within the rules... This is getting  a touch ridiculous

Even if you had Davel there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking a rhetorical question ... there is a literary term for it (hypophora) ... the question itself is used either to deny or make a point and doesn't really require an answer since that is usually obvious when thought about logically.

In my opinion your use of the English language is just fine.

I think the post by Alice was rude and goading yet you agree with it and have  reposted it

Did I say "must not"?  Sorry if I did, but is just a suggestion.

Well I thought you had even before Alice mentioned it.  OK it might be an opinion FGS think about the forum and how it works.

Will the post numbers do?  Sometimes I say "yesterday" when for you it might still be "today" depending on time zones.  I'm in Tuesday and you are still dealing with Monday.

I understand  how the forum works... My post was reasonable... And I don't see why you are making such a fuss about it
