Thread Name: BS: How to have a civil debate
Subject: RE: BS: How to have a civil debate
"I do not know whether any allegations are substantiated. None but those involved can possibly know. I did make that point earlier but as it seems to have been ignored I am repeating it here. Neither am I going to go and check court records or any such thing about things that do not involve me. I am not going to take sides on something I do not know about"

OK Dave, so you think that if I were to go round the threads saying that you had been charged and found guilty of the most heinous crimes and that it was all a matter of public record, that we should all accept that as part of civil discussion because no member knows for sure whether the accusation is right or wrong?

That does not make sense, nor do any of your other utterances on this particular subject......you are simply unwilling to admit that people who behave in this manner are not fit to take part in civil debate.

I have seen the people you support make snide references to "operation Yew Tree" investigations, or references to dementia aimed at older people who have bettered them in debate. That is a Team Musket favourite.

The only reason these tactics are used, is that they are cornered, have run out of answers, and have not the guts to admit it.
