That was a weird non-sequitur in the middle there, it was part of a lengthier paragraph that I deleted. Ignore it.

Arent these spell checkers irritating.
I had to laugh at the simmozzle it made of your last post.

I found a setting that I thought should have turned the darn thing off
but it continues to rearrange my words even when I know I have spelt them right.

Funny how we can put a man on the moon but spell checker settings remain
illusive.

The altered spelling was for Killarney's benefit, as she seems to confuse her i's and y's. I don't have sex daily.... sorry, dyslexia. Although I did mis-spell something: 'lyghlti' should of course have been 'lyghtli'.

Well it's been an energetic discussion

We're lucky to live in a country that allows us free expression. Every single one of us has the right to disagree with what someone else says.
And it's back to work for most of us.
Cheers to all

You don't seem to distinguish between constructive and destructive advice. CM's 'advice' was destructive advice - it was deliberately condescending, personally abusive and obnoxious, designed to intimidate, not to help (as he repeatedly insists).

Telling people they are angry and bitter for giving an opinion is destructive advice. Telling people that they are thin-skinned when they (repeatedly) ask not to be attacked personally is destructive advice. Telling people that their teenagers are more mature than they are is destructive advice. Telling people to change their commenting style and content in order to prevent being subject to further personal attacks is destructive advice.

Phanto, on the other hand, was constructively advising CM on the destructiveness of the 'advice' he was giving.
