Yes, it isn’t a good idea to challenge other members by calling on them by name, I think it devalues the whole debate.
If I were JP there is no way I’d engage with this thread either.
Agree with Regulo there, if people want to talk on general topics, here is the area to do so. Maybe a happier way to make a point is to post on the boating threads and enhance that area.
In some cases, never!! Lol it's a fair warning to other users, I am thinking of a dear late friend whose driving was just terrible. I banned my children from ever going in her car.
I honestly think that some people must spend their time looking for ways to bother the rest of us over the more obscure areas of this stuff.
Yes looking back, we accepted behaviour/language that with hindsight needed sorting, and to which we could be amazingly blind; but some of the new taboos are beyond me, for example 'Cultural Misappropriation' in my book used to be 'Sharing Insights'
I read Guardian online, and BBC Web sources mostly with a trawl across USA & French outlets. We do buy the i fairly often and I pick up Metro if travelling. Sadly I am an obsessive Beyond 100 Days, Politics Live, and Andrew Marr Show viewer, if anyone has a cure, I'd be grateful.......
The Virtual Pub is open tonight at 8.30, there will be a nice warm log fire.
