Ofcom have cleared Piers Morgan for saying on GMTV he doesn't believe a word MM says

Rushing and posted too soon.

The above post by you Lucca typifies the double standards employed by some in this forum. ‘Having something better to do’ is usually seen as an admission of defeat in a debate by the more combative, have the last word type of poster. I can only speak for myself but doubtless many are the same - I genuinely do have better things to do

Lucca *If you are referring to my comment I stand by it. In no way was I bullying Tickingbird I was pointing out something that I find
very unkind, intentional or not, to people who may well not “have something better to do “ It happens a lot as a put down on GN*

I’ve only just seen this because I’ve been otherwise engaged - in enjoyable company, in the sunshine and watching the US Open tennis.

Very good of you to call out the bullies because that’s what they are but I hadn’t seen their comments until now and certainly wouldn’t have been the slightest bit bothered by them if I had.

Alegrias You made a point on another thread of saying that posters use “having other things to do” as an excuse when they have lost the debate. Now you’re saying it’s insulting you. I’m not responsible for how you perceive my comments. I do have much better things to do in this glorious weather and I’m about to do them. If I get time I’ll pop back tomorrow. In the meantime maybe ponder on your own words Or if they don't understand how rude they are being, learn from the experience.

Summerlove Opinions are facts No they really aren’t. They’re just opinions. Helpful if you can discern facts from opinions.

theworriedwell

No that's not what I'm talking about. Have a look a see a number of posters picking on one person because she has the cheek to say she has a life, translation she has other things to do.

Did she comment on your life or her own? Did she comment on your intelligence?

^Yet here you are, finding time in your busy schedule to try to insult me.smile^

There’s been no attempt to insult you. Merely stating facts and believe it or not it’s another scorcher here and I’m off out again.

Summerlove I don’t appreciate being called ignorant by you and scouring google for so called facts isn’t my idea of being enlightened or informed.

That’s ok. All opinions are ok. Opinions are facts.

We are all allowed opinions.

That’s the party line isn’t it?

I can't be held responsible for the postings of other people. Maybe they all agreed with me and disagreed with other people. Several people giving the same point of view isn't piling on, just because it disagrees with one post. I pointed out that people with sufficient intelligence can tell truth from lies and disinformation, even on the internet.

The moral of the story - posters shouldn't try to be intentionally disparaging of people unless they're willing to stand up for themselves. Or if they don't understand how rude they are being, learn from the experience.

It wasn't just about you, several of you piled in and actually you weren't very nice with your comment about intelligence. Just to clarify I wasn't the person who was ganged up on, she didn't cry bully. As an outsider that was definitely how it looked to me.

No, I didn't think so.

Oh well, in for a penny.

Somebody made fun of me for googling things. Somebody was sarcastic about whether facts were worth posting, because you can't trust the internet. Somebody told me that they had a life so didn't bother googling things.

Suggesting that the things I do are not worth much because another person doesn't do them because they have a life isn't insulting?

Well we live on different planets. You don't get to be snide and insulting about a person and then cry bully when they stand up for themselves. Sauce for the goose, and all that.

No that's not what I'm talking about. Have a look a see a number of posters picking on one person because she has the cheek to say she has a life, translation she has other things to do.

Did she comment on your life or her own? Did she comment on your intelligence?

I wonder what it is that you are talking about theworriedwell?

Someone telling me that they don't behave like me because they have a life, maybe?

Talking about bullying....................

How often do we see the slightly nasty remarks along the lines of “ I have better things to do”. Implication being that others don’t , and what if they don’t ? What if they have a rather lonely or empty life ? Spare a thought,

What a bloody brilliant post.
This should be plastered all over GN.
And as for the ‘get a life / get out more’ brigade; grrr

^Facts are factual when you have the intelligence to sort out the facts from the speculation^

Oh I have the intelligence but not the inclination because I do have a life.

So, you’d rather be ignorant?

What an interesting choice

I don't know Pierse but what a twerp !

She definitely wasn't alone:

Ofcom is launching a probe into Good Morning Britain after more than 40,000 people complained over Piers Morgan’s comments that he ‘didn’t believe’ Meghan Markle was suicidal.

It isn't about PM being able to say what he likes and Harry, Meghan or both of them not being able to say what they like. It's the fact that having done so, Meghan made a formal complaint to ITV regarding PM's comments.

No one that I'm aware of has made a formal complaint with regard to any of the unsubstantiated claims and false claims given by H & M.

Shouldn’t that then tell you something?

I’m sure Meghan wasn’t the only one making complaints after his tantrum.

I’m sure she wasn’t.

No response whatsoever!??

Good for you Whatdayisit, did they respond?

Yes and what it tells me Summerlove is that in H's & M's world there's one rule for them and another rule for everyone else.

Smileless I complained to Ofcom about the Oprah interview about the lies involving the Archbishop of Canterbury!
