Re: What was I thinking

You want to try calming down, Stray. Your blood pressure must be through the roof!

It's not pedantry at all. You offered some supposed evidence with a patronising remark that it took you two seconds to find on the internet. I ignored the condescension but pointed out that what you found was a million miles away from what Merrick had said.

As far as I'm concerned Merrick said something that is clearly untrue to prove his point. I don't like that. That's worse than '6th form' level debating. It's dishonest in my book.

Anyone who lives in the real world will know that more problems happen in day to day life - in the home, with the neighbours, etc. That's where harassment notices are used in the main. I don't dispute that they are given to protesters - folk here are giving first hand evidence of that. But to suggest that this is the primary use is untrue.

But calling someone who questions what he reads 'blinkered' is a great tool!
