I'm sure you'll be all for it."

I then made the comment about you being an armchair expert because of your arrogance in that post and telling me whilst I'm looking things up, to suggest I have no understanding around such matters and you're in the right......

I then said you have loads of time on your hands as seeing as you work from home,,,which is public knowledge, you openly and happily admitted it on here...

You insult me and are inflammatory by saying I'd be right up for it.

I then mention that I actually have dealth with safeguarding concerns because of the relevance to your post and suggested ignorance by saying 'whilst you're looking things up'.

So I think that fairly and reasonably explains why I said what I said.

I would say, it's not a good idea to bring your qualifications (or experiences) into a discussion if you don't want to have those qualifications (or experiences) called into question, especially if you actually have nothing at all to back them up. You claimed that you have workplace experience of handling safeguarding, I questioned your level of experience for making that claim because it shouldn't be true unless 1) you actually are professionally qualified to do that (everything you've said about your work in the past makes me think you aren't) OR your experience of "dealing with safeguarding" is simply identifying where there might be a safeguarding issue, and passing that on to someone who is qualified to make a safeguarding assessment.

Like I said... again... no I didn't need to call your work or qualifications (or experiences) into question but if you're going to use them to bolster your position in a discussion, you have to expect it? Otherwise I could just say I'm the king of all knowledge, sent from on high by Odin to educate the lowly peoples of TiBB and you'd just have to accept my claim.
