Why do you think that you alone on the forum get picked on?

Where have I said that this is the case? I have however, just demonstrated the bullying in the thread referred to where I happen to be the easy target this time. Do you agree with Joe Offer's judgement that this was bullying?

Do you think that it might have something to do with the fact that people do not agree with your single handed vendetta against Joe, a vendetta which does not seem to be supported by any other member who posts to these threads.

Vendtta is a big word. It is not my word. Joe and I have different views. Should I have to be in agreement with him or does this disagreement entitle the holder of a different view to be the subject of the group bullying and personal judgements in the thread referred to?

If you will set yourself up as an Aunt Sally you must accept that others will try to knock you down. If you do not respond to reasoned arguement and just keep on repeating the same old mantra over and over and over again then you will test the patience of others and we just don't have any saints on this forum.

All the saints are dead but again if I am not convinced by the few arguments - must I change my view or does thing mean that I should be bullied if I do not? No one is being forced to read anything I post are they?

When such general opposition to a point of view is seen it behoves the person making that point of view to go away and look closely at their own motivation. You might save yourself a lot of the grief that you seem to suffer here if you could do that.

I remain open to persuasion. But I really don't care too much about any grief I may receive - mainly from the usual suspects. I am concerned that bullying like this now is thought to be a acceptable on our forum. Should it happen to anyone on our forum and be justified?

I would think that it is highly unlikely that you will take any notice of this post, apart from maybe twist it around and try to come up with cut and pastes to show that I am wrong and you, as always, are right. However, it did me good to say it!

I have honestly answered your post - you may not like the answers but I have at least managed to do it without making any personal judgements of you or any other poster.
