Some of you should be

ashamed of yourselves, the abuse being handed out on the in laws thread is shameful.

argue your points with respect and avoid personal attacks and abuse. it isnt needed and you are all better than that, you must be.

Telling someone to fook off when they call me a witch, a nazi and a snake isn't a personal attack

telling someone their reasoning is circular isn't a personal attack 

 

This, writ large:

Teclis fook off. It's a discussion board. No one has to participate and no one has to stop because teclis the thread policeman says so. 
stop trying to make things about you. 

It all depends how you read what is written. Tecco clearly was spoiling for a fight on a lively thread but didn't get any takers.

The main event was either a robust disagreement or abusive hectoring depending on your point of view. Read in the abstract it was just a bit dull because Kenny was arguing his personal situation which I find reasonable, whereas LP and Linda were arguing that as a principle it is stupid which is also reasonable.

As per the actual thread (and not sure why this merited a new one rather than being posted on the one it relates to), it was an interesting thread, particularly re: FiLs, until it got de-railed.
