Why are environmentalists taking anti-science positions

Probably not, but I was narked by the other poster! So obviously were other people . I did not report that one!

I was narked.

I wasn't. Anyway, you shouldn't let narkedness take over.

I thought you said nakedness for a second or two.

Why can't I defend people I like? If I felt you were being wrongly targeted, I would leap to your defence Rose

How has this suddenly resurfaced? And with such vituperation? Odd.

Thank you, galen. It is appreciated, and so is support from others. People are wrong to assume I am never fazed. I try not to publicise what fazes me is all. And I try, with rational thinking, to overcome fazedness. I didn't see what was deleted. Perhaps that's just as well.

I reported it. I can assure you that carboncareful's remark added nothing to a discussion of any kind.

People are always saying things about me. I do hope nobody sees fit to report them. I think it would be up to me to decide - unless they were really abusive and I had complained about them previously.

Way back, things did get rather nasty and I did feel things said about me were very nearly verging on bullying. But I pre-empted any action and told Geraldine I was Ok and didn't want anything done about it. I think this probably needs discussion. I mean shouldn't they ask the person concerned if they want something removed or not?

I don't think so. It could put that person in a very awkward position, couldn't it? Whether to say 'heck, no - let people say what they want about me', or 'yes, actually I found that post very hurtful and want it deleted...'.

I can't remember what this was about but I congratulate you on your excellent memories.

As usual, I'm ...there I was, minding my own business and missing the action. Too late to catch up.
