Re: Its Good to Talk
If you'd quoted it and asked in the original thread somebody would probably have complained that you were going off topic!
I remember somebody saying it recently too but it wasn't me although I have said it in the past.
There is a certain amount of freedom of speech in this country, certainly more so than in some other countries, but even so there are boundaries which we have to consider such as not risking slander or libel.
My personal opinion is that everyone is entitled to their personal opinion and as long as it is discussed in a level headed and civilised manner I will defend anyone's right to have their own opinion even if I disagree with that opinion.
That doesn't mean that I condone people making erroneous statements and claiming them to be fact, or debates which descend via argument into petty namecalling and childish petulence.
