No it wasn't. It was the exact opposite.

In the vast majority of threads, you mirror the position held by Dive. That approach has not served you well in this thread.

I'm going to speculate that you have run out of steam in this thread and want to whine instead about the whole fingerprint thing. Let's zap instead to the conclusion. No lie, no apology. Symbiotic relationship. Reasonable assumption.

I’m talking about your hypocrisy on this matter, as you well know.

This is neither an effective argument nor an effective ad hominem.

No, I wouldn't assume a family member knew about or condoned the crimes of a sibling. It is far more likely they didn't and you have no grounds to believe Philip did. Your questions are inherently unpleasant.

And yet you quite readily assumed I was involved in your spat with FMF over the radio program and had no compunction in broadcasting your mistaken suspicions about me in your private club.

You’re a hypocrite.

You’re a hypocrite.

To clarify, it is not cool for me to prejudge you but it is okay for you to prejudge Philip Schofield? (You have already conceded your comments about him are speculation).

How is that not hypocritical?

I’m not prejudging him, I’m not lying about either of them. Philip has already perpetrated and so has his brother. I’ve not accused either of them of anything simply highlighting both of their abuses.

I did nothing wrong, and yet here you are virtue signalling about your distaste for my (as you call it - not me) prejudice, when you prejudged and lied about me.

You’re a hypocrite holding a weak position.

Yes I’m speculating, that’s what this thread is … apart from my obvious tongue-in-cheek gloating about being correct first time around.

It’s speculation. But let’s see…

Exactly. When we don't have definitive information, we speculate and voice an opinion.

Grow a pair and deal with it.

Well if you’re happy with speculating as you did about me, then why are you complaining about me doing it in this thread?

Your speculations are much darker.

Edit: Good to see you now regard it as speculation.

Oh so there’s a “darkness” scale to your principles now is there!

Okay I’ll play along … how so?

There are 8 accepted levels of speculation. Number 8 is speculating about an individual being a predator. (Number 1 speculating about a radio show).

- 1 being speculating that a name change on said radio program was a personal attack.

Good to see you’ve finally accepted the triviality of your own histrionics.

90% of what we post here is opinion or speculation. I think you will be happier in yourself as a door-to-door salesman, once you accept that.

(Disclaimer: The above contained a speculation).
