Firstly no-one was bearing false witness. Secondly Christians are not under the rule of the Mosaic Law and thirdly many of us are not religious so the point of such a comment was what exactly? It was a presumptiouus and manipulative thing to say. Attempted emotional blackmail. I am actually quite shocked by the intention behind such a comment - it was extremely controlling and completely inappropriate. Btw - You have that word with your Sunday school teacher, as you clearly need it. Besides I thought you were against capital punishment for murder and terrorism - indeed under any circumstances - but you weakly attempt to defend such a comment on the punishment for ‘bearing false witness’. Now what was that word I was looking for ... Last edited by Brillopad; 09-04-2018 at 04:58 AM. |

Imagine what it would be like if Kizzy and me were banned. You would have nobody to debate with and likely have very short threads where you all agreed.

What is desired though, is for thread topics to be able to be debated/discussed without: 1) repeated attempts by SOME to deflect and derail the thread once it becomes clear that THEY are losing the argument. 2) repeated attempts by SOME to render further debate/discussion FUTILE by their use of Circular Argument because THEY know that they have no answers and are losing the debate/discussion. 3) repeated attempts by SOME to make false allegations within a post of being 'baited' or 'targeted' for the purposes of intimidating their opponents into silence and also convincing readers/Mods as a precursor to using the REPORT button purely because they KNOW that they are losing the debate/discussion. 4) repeated attempts by SOME to stealthily 'raise the emotional temperature' of a debate/discussion by clever tactics to elicit 'heated responses' borne of frustration or retaliation. for the purposes of ultimately having a thread CLOSED because they KNOW that they are losing the debate/discussion. As for your statement that minus you and Kizzy the rest of us would have no one to debate with and have very short threads where we all agreed, that is pure tosh. NONE of us agrees on every subject and short honest debates where NONE of the above unfair tactics has been employed would be far, far more satisfactory than the longest thread where they are.

there is one thing not now accurate with the thread title .... it's not secret anymore. At least people are now aware and can make their own minds up if Corbyn is doing a good or bad job at eradicating antisemitism from the labour party. They can also make their own minds up at his own behaviour.

You don't post here for months at a time, there is still debate in your absence

I've had emails on here telling me certain people pm him and try and pester him to come and join in a thread to knock me back. Perhaps he's just a siht stirrer but whether its true or not, its an insidious style of bullying. And yes, I do feel bullied. Perhaps that's because as well as being sensitive towards other peoples misfortune, I'm also sensitive by nature. That doesn't make me a weak person, it just makes me someone who cares passionately about certain issues. Quote:
You keep saying 'losing' as though this is some sort of competition. Does there have to be a winner and a loser in a debate? How many people on here come up with long counter arguments? you do but you are one few, not many. If you want to make this a competition then allow for real counter argument and stop believing that the one liner brigade count in a debate. Quote:
I only come on here because I'm politically minded and enjoy a debate but the debates on here of late have become so one sided because most of the Left no longer post. I'm only here because I'm stubborn and refuse to be chased out but I can't see that lasting. I'm finding it all a bit much. I left here last night feeling so frustrated. I woke up last night thinking about some of the things some people on here are saying and I lay there feeling thoroughly deflated. This isn't a healthy environment for people like me who sit to the Left so I doubt I'll be around on here much longer. Quote:
After re-reading what I've just written, the realization that this place is, on an emotional level, a very unhealthy place for me to express any opinion. I've just sold a painting. We've just bought a new home and I've just had a promotion at work but I'm on here getting frustrated and depressed. I think its time I went off and enjoyed the fruits of my labor.

It wouldn't matter if people post daily, monthly or bi-annually as long as when they do they actually contribute.

I don't have to have an opinion on everything, you can't be pleased at the moment Kizzy, if I offer an opinion you would probably accuse me of tag teaming so just give over

Should any antisemitism, racism, or Islamophobia be evident in our political sphere eradicate it.

Well thanks for your presumption, if you have nothing to say on the topic there's nothing to discuss is there?

I can respond to any comments as I see fit as long as I am within the rules, I didn't quote you at all, until you decided to take it on yourself to respond on behalf of DR, yet you accuse others of tag teaming, incredible.

If you're not commenting on the thread topic and attacking members who are how is that within the rules? :/

That was a genuine question but I can see now how it could be misread

I think a lot of posters on this forum have political disillusion and apathy but you seem to mistake not agreeing with you to being some kind of political enemy.
