Very quiet in here

Doesn't defamation need to be a false statement said to damage someones character?

All the things I've seen posted about Justin Barrett seem to be true? I mean he's not exactly denying he's a Nazi?

Except that's not being said at all.

Is it trolling to make personal remarks about another poster, presumably it is. Let's hope mods get to grips with all these trolls

Just out of curiosity. What's the justification for keeping the "Garda killed doing his job" thread open? It would appear to be a bit disrespectful to his surviving family and friends to have anonymous posters speculating on here what might have happened. Ireland is a very small place when it comes to knowing people who have died in tragic circumstances that make headlines. He's not even being buried until Friday and the thread is still open and reliant on part time, unpaid mods to keep it free of any and all inappropriate posts that might be read by those closest to him.

Don't have to make anything up . Your posts there for all to see .

Name calling now as well . Bullying ? Ah poor you .

Why don't you take your own advice and use the thread for actual feedback?

Your last few posts are looking to engage in an argument and not the advice you are giving that poster?

The logical thing to do would be to read the threads in question. Plus if I was linking to posts that meet that criteria there'd be a flood of people making up reasons that I'm wrong anyway. It's a pointless exercise.

I person don't give a damn about people saying defamatory things about musk or trump, I'm just pointing out the logical inconsistency around the issue.

How it relates to feedback is tentative anyway, it was mentioned as an aside that perhaps boards isn't on the radar of most people or organisations or in the thought process surrounding ongoing court cases in this country.

In any normal setting that would be met with a reasonable response, instead it turned into a deluge of "you don't understand X or have a poor grasp of Y". A perfect microcosm of what's wrong with this site and why it's better to not engage with people at all for the most part so bravo folks.

god do ye remember when everyone didn’t try take strips off each other on boards?

those were good days.

I was being some hyperbolic. There was certainly plenty of more heated discussion that led to the odd outburst but unless I need to clean my rose tinted glasses, generally there was more respect afforded in discussion.

Everyone is very angry around here now. Everyone and everything is shite including boards. I don’t think the place was so bitter back then.

I've observed this stuff but I'm not digging through threads with hundreds of pages to provide evidence for people who will just tell me it's not acceptable evidence.

The logic has changed thanks to the way people conduct themselves.

If you'd asked me for a link a couple of years ago I'd have no problem providing one, but there's such a vein of vitriolic hate filled inability to accept anything presented as have any validity that the exercise is utterly pointless and just serves to derail the discussion further.

What's the point of trying to win an argument with people who have never accepted being wrong about anything in their entire lives?

If you don't believe what I'm saying that's fine, I'm not the one hopping around foaming at the mouth about it.
