Agreed, and I certainly hope that free speech is alive and well.

I would expect people to be able to express their opinion without insults.

Well it was.

Santander do the same. I find them good on security though I believe they had some problems a few years ago.

A lot of " ordinary " people don't trust labor, and not without reason I reckon.

It will probably be with government blessing anyway because they seem to have it in for diesel after trying to persuade people on to it not so long ago.

Agreed. A brilliant venue.

I expect people to post without insults because I think that's the way to do it, but it's their choice. What is worse is censorship.

No, not at all . If someone wants to use insults, they can but I see it as counter-productive because the opposers just dismiss you and you lose any chance of bringing them to your way of thinking. tinfoilhat mentions in post 170 about posts being deleted etc and that irks me too.

It is time he allowed someone else a go though.

I can't see a need for it. As for taking away their right to do it, absolutely not. I wouldn't want to and I couldn't even if I did want to. They can say what they like but it's hardly a wise thing to do as far as I see it. First off lets have a look at what you are trying to do when you debate something. I think you are trying to get your view across and bring the opposition to your way of thinking so insulting them is not a good way to do it. How much better to say,"well I think you are wrong, because", rather than " You idiot", or whatever. So do you think it's o'k to insult people ?

I blame my parents.

I want people to be able to discuss anything but they should be capable of doing it without insults,
