Apparently it's acceptable to be 'rude' to someone, if you've met them.

Anyone who's ever been to an Accy Web meet, better take cover, before you're similarly attacked.

I wonder if that same rule, insult negated, declared void, if done after a social introduction, when the accusation's 'they're all pickin' on me, and twistin' my words, and using them against me, in an unfair manner'?

Apologies.

There I go again, quoting exactly what you've said.

How very rude of me.

Not everyone.

There are plenty of people on here who can see the truth perfectly well the first time round.

By the way, you might be better checking with the etiquette expert, to see if the name you called me is 'incredibly rude', or not...seeing as we've never met.

I'll bow to etiquette from now on Garinda

I wrote an opinion in a post regarding how I felt you had been rude. Do you realise how pathetic you look constantly referring back to it?

Almost, but not quite as pathetic as you considering the above worthy of filling space on a server.

The Tories haven't figured out how to start canvassing, let alone what to do when they get to the door.

Not as pathetic as someone unwilling, or unable, to provide any quoted evidence, to back up their claim.



Anyway, someone whose opinion I value more highly than your's, as read the thread, a close relative, and confirms that along with my own belief, I haven't been 'incredibly rude' to Ms. Buckley.

Although they did laugh, especially at the comment about not being able to have punctuation, and the ability to make a napkin into a swan.

I guess, like lots of other things, a sense of humour must be generic.

[garinda]

Without further evidence, perhaps I should report the member who accused me of such a terrible crime, for breaking the rule about not being malicious to other members of the forum.

But hey, I guess I'm just too magnaminous, so might just let others decide, especially when there's been no evidence supplied.

You've a lot to learn about politics Ken, like canvasing and leafleting 8 to 10 weeks before an election is a waste of time and energy, as is calling on anybody on a Sunday Afternoon, especially when the Man United v Liverpool match is on the T. V., as is going mob handed which for some reason is a trait of Labour, 5 people stood round a door is likely to alienate voters not win them over

I'll have my bucket of urine ready for the first canvasser to knock on my door.

I'll not disagree with you on the Sunday afternoon canvass or the group of people going to each door, which is why I've never done it. I wouldn't be swung over by a leaflet alone either but that black and white photocopy has not gone down terribly well with people in Rishton, in fact I know four people who have stated they won't vote for him as a result of it.

Canvassing on the doorstep has swung me a lot of votes though and has given me the opportunity to put myself forward as a person rather simply a man who has chosen the Labour badge. Again, I'm not being complacent about my chances of winning but why should I expect people to vote for me if they've never met me?

I haven't met Cllr Britcliffe yet but since my opponent didn't make any attempt to stand up and make his views known at our area council meeting, how is he going to stand up to the leader of HBC? If I lose, I would like it to be against someone who turns up for town meetings because he's interested and not simply because he's paid to be interested.

I do have a lot to learn, and the next few months will be a steep curve for me but I'm adopting the stance of positive activities within the village as opposed to community inactivity and trying to stir up ill feelings down the pub.
