Nobody objects to you having an opinion Jim, it is the way you put your opinion across sometimes, and seemingly have the opinion that that, is the ONLY opinion that should count for anything, and all others should be disregarded, fighting your corner is one thing, down right obstruction quite another, and that is why you are castigated and called names.
The post you say you wanted to award karma for would be available, providing it wasnt deleted, and would come up in my profile much earlier than the one for which you actually sent it, so that excuse dont wash with me either, you were phishing for reputation in my eyes.
Although I am sure I have seen something about 'phishing for reputation' here, I cannot see it in the rules, but would still say you are morally wrong to accuse others of possibly cheating, whilst 'seeming' to influence the issue of reputation for your own benefit, say what you will about it, you made it look VERY clear that you would like karma returned, that to my mind is wrong.
I dont make ANY rules, but I know when I see something as being against the rules/immoral or both.

Put your theory to the test then! Start a poll. But bear in mind that you are only likely to get something like 40 or 50 votes out of a membership of 14,000 plus, it can hardly be called representative. Unless you deem it so! But that would be arrogant in the extreme.

Wonder no more, it was I.

So if the majority of people are of the same mind then it must be fact eh?

Well once upon a time the majority of the people thought the world was flat and there are many other instances where it turned out that the majority were incorrect. Wasn’t there a recent case where a paediatrician was labelled a paedophile by the majority of his neighbours? Look what happened there. Just because the majority sing from the same hymn sheet it doesn’t automatically follow that the song is the right one.

Oh but they do object to me having an opinion that differs to theirs and because I stick to my guns with evidence to back it up and the other side does not have the nous to do the same to back up their view, they resort to name calling and questioning my mental faculties.

But in what way should I post my opinions? I choose my words very carefully and try to ensure that they cannot be misinterpreted. It is hardly my fault if someone comes along doesn’t read and understand what has been written and puts his/her own spin on it.

Show me where I have obstructed another viewpoint. I’d also be very interested to know how a person can do that.

For your information I did search through your list of posts to see if I could find the one where I wanted to award you some Karma. I was unable to recall which post it was and the searching did not jog my memory. So I can only assume that your refusal to accept my statement, means that you are calling me a liar. Now THAT is against the rules and also immoral.

I never accused anyone of cheating. What I said that it is possible to do so. But heck, why let the accuracy of my statement get in the way of trying to score a Brownie point or two?

Now if there is a anyone else wanting to give me a piece of their mind, then go ahead but you will be ‘talking’ to yourself.

I’m out of this thread because it has gone too far off topic.
