    Not sure why everyone gets so upset about a fellow poster using the report button ?

    Surely it's their prerogative, otherwise why have it in the first place.

    For the record I've not used the report option myself...but I would if I thought it necessary.

    Yes it's bloody annoying when some of your posts get deleted, but it's just moderators doing the role they've signed up for and exercising their judgement.

    Too many snowfalkes about and they don't even realise what they've become.

    mind you she hasn't been back since, could be licking his/her wounds, or effed off as it was getting too hot in the kitchen.. most woke buggers love dishing it but don't have the insults to dish back that experience brings, I've been **** on by the best her majesty has in this country and proud of the fact that I'm now that thick skinned nothing insult wise gets to me.

    Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is "A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong".

    Another type of ad hominem arguments generally only encountered in specialized philosophical usage refer to the dialectical strategy of using the target's own beliefs and arguments against them, while not agreeing with the validity of those beliefs and arguments. Ad hominem arguments were first studied in ancient Greece; John Locke revived the examination of ad hominem arguments in the 17th century.

    Valid ad hominem arguments occur in informal logic, where the person making the argument relies on arguments from authority such as testimony, expertise or on a selective presentation of information supporting the position they are advocating. In this case, counter-arguments may be made that the target is dishonest, lacks the claimed expertise or has a conflict of interest.

    You like to dish it out Roger and do so in copious amounts when the mood suits you.

    Yet you get your panties in a twist when someone uses the report button.

    I'd say they've found your weak spot and maybe you need to work on that <laugh>

    TBF, I think the Supermods noticed the report before the Leeds mods did, otherwise we would have dealt with it.

    you don't half talk bollocks some times ,on a thread like this the report button is for fairy's, again it clearly says NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED. I can be as reasonable as the next guy but if i get insulted it will come back in spades, people who start insults should not be allowed a report button its for wimps

    I'm equally adept at talking complete bollocks as well, as I'm sure you're well aware by now.

    None of which changes the fact that any posters choosing to use the report option are merely using the tools available and provided by this forum. Neither you, I or anyone else have any right to remove that option from them and we don't get to decide if it's considered grassing up, ratting on, or wimpish behaviour.

    As I said previously, some may consider it's the best way to get someones back up...which seems to have worked.

    If anything goes on this thread...then anything goes, including winding someone up by reporting them.

    exactly the only way a far left activist can react, is to shut a conservative voice down by any method fair means or foul
