Question for rov1200

[Gromit]

Why do you close your posted threads on this site. Often in full debate.

I notice you have closed the one below. What is the point of that. Why post on a question and Answer site if you close it before there are any answers?

Do you just like wasting everyones time?

[buildersmate]

No, Gromit, he merely likes the sound of his own voice, preferring not to debate issues with others.

In answer to the closed question below:

A temporary footbridge is a good start. A much better idea than a pontoon bridge, which someone suggested on here a few days ago.

the full story is here.

.......... and I'm happy to report that AOG is not the strategic military planning mastermind that Rov thinks he is - the Royal Engineers were up there over last weekend assessing the situation, well before the Daily Mail diverted attention from Afghanistan to matters closer to home.

Why should the poser of a question have the 'right' to shut the debate down? If you ask a question and don't like the answers... well tough. That's life isn't it?

Surely the only person who can legitimately close down a thread is the 'Web Master' (which is a ghastly phrase – is there another?)

[buildersmate]

Yes, Birdie. It's a damn silly 'innovation' from the new release of AnswerBank. It is a pointless solution to a problem that never existed in the first place.

birdie, I suppose these are web mistresses

Birdie,I prefer the term 'site administrator' to 'web-master'.

[rov1200]

Maybe Gromit some of us on here object to your rantings even when given the facts. We can all produce evidence to justify our case as there is a multitude of different answers to a probloem. Maybe you should speak from the heart instead of quoting from an encyclopedia of facts many of them irrelevent..

Maybe a site called answerbank is not right for you if you do not like answers?

[123everton]

Wouldn't it have been better to ask the question without naming names?
It would have recieved the same replies.

I know how much it must pain you when anyone dares to praise me in anyway, but get your facts right before you make ridiculous statements.

I refer of course to my suggestion of erecting a "Bailey Bridge" by the Army.

What the hell had any of this got to do with the Daily Mail? I posted my answer on Monday 23 Nov.

Please supply proof that the Daily Mail had suggested that the Army should erect a "Bailey Bridge" before this time.

[rov1200]

Gromit you may not have noticed but my posting about the Bailey bridge was not a question but a statement referring to an earlier answer given by AOG. We all know the questions rapidly disappear from the page within a couple of days and this was a way of adding substance to his answer.

You addressed it to "the Knockers on this site", then closed it without giving "the knockers" a chance to reply.

Maybe you should try and find thestatementbank if you only want to hecter at people rather than debate?
