Election Year or Fear!

Now who’s resorting to semantics and, not for the first time…exaggeration? If you read things carefully enough you’d recognise the phrase ‘universal values’. See you’re still avoiding discussing your ‘ill-informed’ allegation. I doubt that I’m complex but I can at least accept when I’m wrong.

Yes of course it’s exaggeration, I don’t have the luxury of scrolling back to post #365 or whatever and count them I’m fitting a kitchen. It does indicate a direction of travel though

In other words, you’re busy (me too, but it’s lunch time) and you couldn't check so just made something up. Likewise GP has implied that I’m anti British and that ‘those blokes in boats’ were wasting their time 80 years ago because of views like mine…an unfounded and insulting suggestion that you went out of your way to agree with.

In addition you’ve said I’m ‘ill-informed’ solely on the basis of you appearing to completely misunderstand the issue of BFV in schools which GP had raised.

Now is the time for you both to put up or shut up. If you can’t substantiate something then don’t say it at all, and if you’re entirely wrong then withdraw the comment. As the supposed moderator of this forum I’d have expected you to understand and appreciate those basics. In your own time.

Right, you’re clearly getting upset by this and I agree with GP that accepting you’re wrong hasn’t been a trait we’ve seen around here, but I also accept that you may have the same opinion of me, SO: if you accept that your issue about British values and our subsequent spat was based on your innocent misreading of my original post as including the word ‘peculiarly’ or ‘uniquely’, neither of which were present, then I’ll accept that I should have just shrugged my shoulders at your response, rather than pushed the issue. And on that basis I’m happy to ‘shake hands’ over the ether and call it quits

Lol…be off with you. You flatter yourself if you think I’m going to get ‘upset’ over a forum ‘spat’, and neither am I likely to ‘shake hands’ over something which you want settled completely on your terms.
Tbh I’m not even sure you recognise where the problem lies and we can call it quits if you like, I’ll simply remember that GP makes unfounded and defamatory comments that he can’t defend or substantiate and that you, as moderator, back him up on that and then can’t accept when you’re at fault for completely misinterpreting a subsequent matter.
