R 4 Is a sensible and responsible example being set when our volunteer police force also indulge in making abusive posts themselves and start calling other posters names?

A 4. No. But then, I haven't seen this happen. I'd like some specifics and some context.

Amos - You say no and I supplied the evidence that you ask for - So you have now finally accepted Joe did call another poster names and should not have...That alone is enough to destroy the 'snow job' you have up to now been trying to maintain.

But having finally accepted and agreed that I am right to question if a sensible and resonable example is being set and on the evidence supplied - finally agreed with me and accepted that it is NOT being set - you then go on to give an opinion and qualify whether the name was apt or serious - what has that got to do with the question? From that I am not too sure if many folk would have thought you and had reached agreement on anything.

As you know the issue is not the name but who is taking part and setting the example of name-calling and encouraging others that this behavior is OK. So now we are finally in agreement on something how do WE address this and what do you intend to do about it?

It would look as if you just intend to carry on with your 'snow job' and to claim that I am the agumentitive one. When a claim is made you tend to claim it is wide and speculative - when the firm evidence is provided to support that claim and you eventually accept it as a fact - you then go on to excuse and qualify it.........As I predicted you would.

I would like to have a sensible debate - based on the evidence - I have no intention of challenging your entitlement to opinions even though they may be attempting to cover-up the facts that you have finally agreed.
