"Start by Asking Yourself What is a Supporter and Work on from There”

[Vertigo Swirl]

I don't wish to be seen as goading or being argumentative, but I don't think I made any such suggestion.

What were you suggesting here then?


"As it stands an unspecified number of members stand accused of posting an unspecified number of 'malign opinions', but only in your opinion. Perhaps you would like to be more specific so that your opinion can be tested?"

[Vertigo Swirl]

You got a straight answer.

Can we compile a list of malign opinions about the McCanns expressed on this forum with user names?

I suggest you create a new thread.

I suggest you create a new thread.

Will it be approved?

Perhaps. The person I was posting to has since explained that they were not necessarily accusing other members here. Therefore there was no need, it seems, to quote any posts made by members here.

Speaking for myself if I see what I consider to be a 'malign' or accusatory post I challenge it at the time. That way the poster can reply. If I recall correctly I did this on the latest 'Grime' thread.

There was nothing malign in those posts in my opinion. 
Malign -
speak about (someone) in a spitefully critical manner.  where is the spite?

accusatory.

[Vertigo Swirl]

accusatory.

We were originally discussing malign postings about the McCanns were we not?

[Robittybob1]

Interesting. According to the Portuguese SC judges the McCanns were public figures.

How convenient.

I suppose critical posts could be described as malign. In which case every critical post aimed at Grime is malign.

That is rubbish.  Malign is spiteful criticism.

In my opinion criticising a dog handler's knowledge and expertise without supporting knowledge or evidence could be seen as spiteful.
