Douglas and vetusti - this is a Q & A site, and this is a debate about a specific subject.

It is not a place for either of you to show off your classical skills (?) in veiled insults to any other AB'er.

Please desist or you will be reported.

I think this 'ere bus is about to blow a gasket.

Douglas and v-e, perhaps you're talking about me? I left school behind quite a while ago so you're safe. I won't be telling tales. :o)

Naomi - //Douglas and v-e, perhaps you're talking about me? I left school behind quite a while ago so you're safe. I won't be telling tales. :o) //

You know as well as I do that they are not - let's not encourage them in their schoolboy antics.

Comes a time in many threads when comedy capers kick in - best left to it in my view.

Maybe it's time as Ed drew a veil over this thread and closed it to further posts

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, letting them know that I'm not into schoolyard antics - just in case.

Oh dear - things havent really changed during my brief absence
which reassures me that I cant be the cause of any dissent, biting scratching or hair pulling

// Jim, no one is ‘demonising’ the other 75% //

yes I think they are - is this the thread that is advocating closing all the mosques ? is that demonising or a judicious anti terrorist measure ?

@Pieter

That was Khandro's thread, you're describing.

[jim360]

Does it matter which thread it precisely was where people called for the closure of all mosques -- or even the internment of all Muslims, as has been explicitly suggested on AB a few times? People absolutely *are* demonising the other 75% by considering these suggestions even remotely sensible.

Also I just wanted to help push this thread up to 500 posts.
