Election Year or Fear!

[MadAmster]

What I am fed up with is the pedantic semantics used at times. Someone posts a view at one end of the spectrum. Someone else says that's totally false because of whatever. The first person then says OK but..... going along with the slight tweak to what was first written. Person #2 keeps hammering "falsehood". If the truth in the original claim hugely outweighs any shortcomings therein, I find it petty, at best, to keep hammering it. especially when the original poster has admitted his first comment wasn't 100% accurate and goes on to point out holes in #2's argument.

Whatever happened to reasoned discussion where #2 is equally as humble in accepting the basic truth of the opening statement as #1 is in accepting #2's "amendment" but points out that that only applies to a very small amount of people wanting to come to the UK?

Please, everybody, not just #1 and #2, stop being right fighters. There's a point in every exchange where enough is enough. This particular "right fight" has, IMHO gone way too far so, for sanity of the rest of us, put a bloody sock in it!!!
