It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by An_Inspector_Calls View PostThis is very strange. First it's all huff and puff about MacKenzie, with no mention of the police, now it's Simon for sounding complacent.
Perhaps our principal focus should be on the police (and the police federation?) as I first suggested?

Originally posted by french frank View PostPeople on the whole respond to what others have said, but they can focus on whatever aspect they wish. If someone criticises what another person has said, the response tends to focus on that point. You can't say everything in one post: the OP focused on apologies [of] the PM and MacKenzie and that's what people were discussing.

Originally posted by An_Inspector_Calls View PostOf course, you can do what you want, but I'm amazed you're wasting time and effort on such distractions. Or perhaps you don't think they're distractions? Mackenzie's error and Simon's apparent (to you) complacency really matter?
(And now I'm caught up in doing the same thing! )

Originally posted by french frank View PostWell, you could be disussing the points that you think are important instead of wasting your time arguing the toss with me.
It's one way of doing it, I suppose, but it could lead to a rather odd series of threads.

Originally posted by Simon View PostAre we supposed to just plough on regardless, then, in discussions, and ignore other peoples' comments?

As for me, I thnk there are many issues arising. On the whole I'm content to see how matters develop.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by Simon View PostExactly. But the expression of lack of surprise is not necessarily indicative of complacency. A point that AH will now, perhaps, accept.
Time to abandon reading this thread. Life is way too short..."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
