Not awfully aggressive! I thought we approved of expression?

good at least we agree on some issues
talking to others that type of comment would stop people posting in fear of that comment being raised

I am not objecting to Toms comment - it was born out of a frustration I think he has a right to express. It was the discouragement to participation I was commenting on.

I think the rain is getting to all of us with the misunderstandings (if that is the right word) that are happening this morning.

Aggressive one minute, frustrated the next and possibly 'often' so.
As far as discouraging greater and wider comment goes. My reading of threads here indicates to me that ignoring the posts/points of view of others, more even that going off-topic, is the greatest offence.
However, I am such that will not be discouraged in that way.
Post #3 says that my contribution was unnecessary and wholly wrong, but says nothing else. I at least couch my staccato remarks within (what I trust to be) a greater and further contribution. What point was there/is there to #3 than to drop-in to tell me to drop-out? Motes and beams, does not begin to cover it.
Yet it is the word 'often' that rankles. I find it underhand and cowardly.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

JAN;
I'v always tried to encourage people to post,
that doesnt mean though i have to cave in andf accept othes view to be correct.
the weather wouldnt affect my posting.
we have to accept the many differing views and we may not agree with them,

Keith, have you lost your sense of humour this morning or just got the grumps.

Bloody hell, here we go again.
Tom, your posts are always a pleasure to read, and #28 does kind of sum it up a bit for me. I would add Perplexed to the list of Things We Sometimes Feel here.....!

Alan Johnson is a Unison sponsored MP who then got the post as Secretary of State for Health , strangley enough he did nothing to repeal the changes bought in by the Blair and Brown government , which included broadening the requirement to find savings and increasing the ammount of services going out to tender , and a more target driven service , which resulted in some parts of the NHS being transfered into private health care . He is somewhat reticent to debate this now .

Dave decided to make everyone suffer except the rich - see latest Sky News article on 1,000 richest characters in Britain with private assets of £430 billion.
When I realised this, and gathered that being a member of a political party was like having a piece of sellotape stuck over your mouth, on the grounds that you have nothing to say, it occurred to me that the masses will abandon politics, both national and local, as we will always be arm-twisted and bullied into whatever the Establishment has decided.
Until the Change comes.
If you know a Divinity that keeps you going, keep to Him/Her. The Divinity I know shows a road leading to Christ's Church, and so what Dave does or doesn't do now is San Ferian.
In Politics UK there is no Democracy, be it national or local, they will do whatever they want, and even public consultation they will kick to pieces!
So when you see that politics kills off Democracy, you are not in the wrong in deciding to bury politics in the back garden.
