Not that you're going listen to me but that is not a personal insult. You are moving the goalposts to justify the ban. His reply to you personally was about deflecting the question. He then followed it up with a general question. You might not like the question but it wasn't aimed at you personally. People on here have called Conservatives voters ****s, does that mean everyone who voted Conservative should take it as a personal insult?

He posted it as a response to Chilco's post and wrote "you" liberals and lefties clearly including him in his assertion. The ban is justified imo.

It wasn't until Chilcs posted that he voted Lib Dem that liberals was added to Os's "defend rapists and ****s?" rant making it personal as well as being well over the top. That's my take on it, I'll leave it at that.'

At last normality to the thread. By that I don't mean left wing and liberal views, just a bit of debate without the sensationalism and frankly outright racism.

There are a few on here that I don't agree with their views (and definitely vice versa), but at least they put them across clearly, and don't sensationalise it all and end with "I was right all along, see"

Another good, long opinion piece on the bond markets this morning from the silent media, saying Reeves has nowhere to go with this.

Bond crisis leaves Rachel Reeves with nowhere to go https://www.thetimes.com/article/7f78af6c-6462-4ca5-9204-05049d4eee15?shareToken=57262211e8e400b9d788693bb62adb47

Your link was a bit messed up so I post it again:

Once personal insults start being spewed you either been trolled or lost the argument. However when the person spewing the insults has the power of the whole nation or millions of followers who do not rationalise what is being said, then the whole global eco-system for democratic discourse is in peril. I leave it for individuals to come to their own conclusions on whether that is the plan or not and who is the puppet, and who is the puppet master, and who is just tangled up in the same strings.

I'd like to discuss why I think you are wrong or even make a harmless joke with you but in the current climate someone will call for a ban. This is the stage we are at on this thread now, dobbing each other in. I'm well aware that Os himself did this yesterday about loading but I don't like it wherever it comes from.
I will only contribute by posting and will try to avoid any interaction with the other posters on here so that's one objective reached.
As for Osvaldorama's ban, it appears the end result justifies the means.
