A bit unfair to infer that something might be going on, and then not expanding on it….especially if people might be “turning up on our doorsteps”.
Unless I’m reading too much into what you said.

Ffs.
I gave an analogy involving a Jewish father protecting his family from a Nazi kicking his door down, intending to kill them.
I also said that I'd be prepared to kill the invader in that position.

I found some of the responses strange and said as much.
Why the need to rake over the coals?

Plus, when did I infer that 'something was going on'?

It's like you live for confrontation mate.
Ever thought of trying meditation?

Mate, with respect, you can be just as confrontational, and in fact many on here would say very much more so…ie if things don’t go your way you’ll just tell someone to “**** off”. Of course no one is innocent and I am definitely of the confrontational type, always have been, always will be.
The post that concerned me was post #74895, said that some ”really strange **** being posted on here”, while It was being debated about someone turning up on someone’s door, coming to kill them, self defence etc etc.
This of course led to yesterdays disagreement, when another poster backed you up ….. it’s all there for you to go over.
Now if it was just you having a bit of a laugh and I’ve taken it out of context then cool, in the future I’ll take your posts with a massive pinch of salt…..however if you really do have genuine concerns, then I still think it’s unfair to all that you don’t share them.

For the love of God.....

So my comments led to your ongoing spat with Ellers? Yeah right!

Genuine concerns about what?
What exactly is it you think I was inferring?

I disagreed with Steels who said the example I'd given was a lesser shade of bad.
I wasn't literally saying that an invader was likely to kick my door down. After all, my Country hasn't been invaded for over a thousand ****ing years.
I thought Bob was taking the piss by saying I'd be ok as it was highly unlikely to happen to me.
That wasn't my point and I thought he realised that.

Jesus, do you need everything explained to you?

There now, it's all been laid out again for a few more pages of disagreement, after I'd said it wasn't important.

Happy?
Anything else you need explaining?

I'll ask again...

Genuine concerns about what?
What exactly do you think I was inferring?

An answer to those two specific questions would be appreciated, rather than your usual scatter gun approach.

Fair enough Col…..but maybe next time you would please be careful about what you post and how it could be misconstrued.
Thanks mate
 
Can we please have a quiet day today ...and all take the kids to school, nursery, walk in the sun...etc. It has become a bit heavy here...

Well at least to about lunchtime and we hear the Spring briefing on the economy ...then we can all start again

Debate is healthy though Beth. And today after being vindicated in all I have said, and being able to prove that I’m not “a liar”, as some most certainly accused me of…..I’m a happy guy.
Even Cols post has been found to be little more than a random comment (which I’m mightily relieved at).
The sun is shining, my hay fever is much better after medication and I’m going on a nice longish run soon……..as Ice-T sang “It was a good day”.

It’s your turn today Col. I can’t be arsed with it anymore. Spanish Inquisition.

Suppose my comment was a tad tongue in cheek Col. Just thought the conversation was going a bit weird with all this killing people talk.
 
Sorry was taking kids to school…..see above



Fair enough Col…..but maybe next time you would please be careful about what you post and how it could be misconstrued.
Thanks mate

No, mate. You're not getting away with that. What did I say that could be misconstrued and how?
Kindly answer my questions....

What do you think I was inferring?
What do you think I had genuine concerns about?

I suspect you're not answering because it was a typical wind up..
If you're accusing me of something, let's hear it.
I've asked you three times and you won't answer.
