So you wouldn´t join the bash the buffs brigade?  SORRY! I know this was childish! 

Hahahahahahaha,no--------YOU weren't.

Because it's not supposed to be an 'argument' it's supposed to be a debate.

I agree, it's supposed to be a debate.

[Caroline]

And you all claim to wonder how arguments start

I have often contemplated the case from a guilty standpoint, but people tend not to notice it - I have noticed.

yes I did one whole thread where I asked all posters to look at things from both sides - there were a few who found it impossible 

but it was interesting for those who did.

[Caroline]

I agree, it's supposed to be a debate.

SOME seem not to understand that.

[Jane]

If you want debate and not arguments, you could start by limiting your use of this: 
You use it an awful lot.

Are you suggesting its' use limits Caroline's ability to debate intelligently?

I think it comes across as rude and condescending.

Yes, I'm doing it on purpose and I'll stop using it when you stop trying to stir the pot. Works both ways. You have some kind of a chip on your shoulder - think it's time to let it go, don't you?

There was nothing specific, different things over a long time but I'm happy where I am at the moment, it's not a huge question in my life.

Maggie think it was my influence hahahaha kidding I have never tried to influence you in any direction more you me .

[Caroline]

Likewise!

  No, I am capable of reasoning and thinking, although some don't seem to think so. Obviously the more you learn the more info you have to use when making decisions, problem is on many questions there are at least two different answers depending which way you look at it.

Isn't that more YOUR problem, than Caroline's?  Don't you feel that you're asking too much by expecting SO many (strangers!!!) to conform their behaviours to what suits you?

[Stephanie]

I believe the term is called 'passive aggressive?'

[Caroline]

She's asking the wrong one! I don't go in for conformity, especially when it comes from someone holding a grudge!
