Something needs to be done

Baiting works both ways don't you think.
it's just some of us get a bit fed up with the constant insults towards those not on the forum to defend themselves.

If you think someone is baiting you Kendor then ignore they will only reply to those who react
 
I only partly agree with that, Freddie.
In the end that will mean that ignoring posters or post like that feel they are agreed on?
It's a 'grey-area' of course, like everything thing else in life :D

Putting petrol on the fire to dowse the flames eh Woody?
 
nope
Just trying to clarify something I feel strongly about, but perhaps not getting the message across
(second language, you know :D )
 
The Netherlands will always give shelter to real refugees who are in need of protection. These new plans have nothing to do with intolerance, but with the wish to have failed asylum seekers return to their country of origin if possible, so that they do not end up on the streets as illegal immigrants. A just and equitable asylum policy depends on an effective strategy for the departure of failed asylum seekers.
Yes, you?

I think he has you by the short and curlies there Woody
sorry, Freddie, but I don't understand your phrase or what you mean by that.

Meaning you can only give one answer and that was the one you gave otherwise you would have been on the completely opposite side to Joe
 
Sorry Freddie, but my 'only' possible answer would have been the same to anybody else asking me that question, nothing to do with joe I'm afraid.
 
I think many of us can be guilty of posting in haste and not fully considering how others will read and then interprete what we write..verbally all the tongue in cheek comments etc may be obvious, and slogger may be better at communicating his points verbally, the problem is that the written language can be a mine field if we are not careful.

I know that I do get a bit hot under the collar sometimes, and I shouldn't, but sometimes if you've had a bad day and certain people attack you for trying to be reasonable in your responce to others, and they insult you, it is human nature to respond...

As many here have summised, I speak my mind, I defend myself and my position, perhaps too emotionally on occasion, but I will never tolerate a mindless rant from someone whose brain left this world decades ago.

Kendor and I have fallen out, Freddie and I have fallen out, and others have, but on the whole I don't think we think that much differently, we just see things from angles that perhaps the other does not readily see, and this can and has been a source of disagreement, however this is usually resolved when each party coherently explains their point and normally the middle ground is taken, usually these discussions do not iterate into personal attacks.

Yes, you?

Yes. But I also think that delaying tactics like appeals have to be reduced. I also think it essential to be able to identify asylum seekers with dna or fingerprint evidence to prevent them goint out the front door and coming straight through the back door and claiming 'asylum'. Do you agree?

If not - why not?
