Maybe stop shoving your opinions repeatedly and not requiring having the last word will ease said stalkers responses.

I don’t think so.
I’m entitled to it. He doesn’t have to read it.
I’ve already suggested he block me- weeks ago!
He still wants to stalk me.
I’ve responded +vly to other stuff he posts.

Frankly I don’t care..,..he rarely contributes unless I post and then he goes screaming to Mods

“Dear me, he’s at it again, calling people names, presumably in the hope it distracts from the fallacy of his arguments and allegations. Calling all MODs, calling all MODs, please sort this out because I really can’t be bothered to put the alternative view any more. MaskMas, you have the patience of a saint.”

I reckon Marknas and I get each other. We may not agree but we have a mutual respect,

If MarkMas says I was out of line I’m happy to apologize to him.

Rwc on the other hand can **** off

Ok, in order.
1.Very honourable.
Mugs game nowadays....(nobody works for less than what they’re worth and I hope you’re not offended)..
2.Secondly, only a feckwit would take anything at face value nowadays.

Quite why you find this a little offensive I’ve no idea.
It’s my perception of ones “value” re point 1 and secondly you reinforce ( in a good way) my disbelief in things you just suck up, without question, stuff that I think is harmful and corrosive that I think is more harmful and dangerous to society.

Roll on 10000 eh, hopefully we can discuss all this nonsense over a wine or two one day.

That is a little disturbing, so let me try to explain.

I understand you like to express your opinions vigorously and vividly, @Wattie , and I'm mostly ok with that, but if you say that what someone does is a 'mugs game', they are likely to feel you are calling them a 'mug'. If you say that what someone does is something only a 'feckwit' would do, they are likely to feel you are calling them a 'feckwit'. That is why I find this a 'little offensive'. It doesn't fix it to say 'oh I didn't mean you' or 'I also said something nice' or 'we get each other'.

I feel that name-calling is rather rude, and a poor substitute for reasoned argument.

I’ve got one of then I bought in Ikea for the kids - well the male ones - two decades ago. Might post it out to Aus but it will need quarantining.
