Twaddle!
It's ok for people to have views that align with your own but if they are contrary they are drowning out discussion. I post once on my view regarding children's vaccinations and you consider that's not meaningful discussion. People have posted their reasons for not having their children vaccinated, that's fine but they must be prepared to have them challenged on a forum.

I have absolutely no issue with being challenged and when you express views on a public forum it should be expected. I do have issues with certain posters suggesting that a decision I and others have made is the reason that 'grandma will die'. Ultimately though that says more about them as a person and it's not an argument that is suddenly going to change my mind. Other things in the future might well change my mind on the decision so we'll see what happens in the coming months.

I have reread your posts. Post 25,699, to name one, is arrogant. If you don’t like that assessment, tough.

Hardly a great example! That description could apply to so many posts/posters, including, no doubt, mine and yours. In fact, it seems to me your post above shows more arrogance than SR's one you point to.

But let's get back to discussing the topic/posts rather than abusing the posters!

It’s the perfect example, he replied in that post:

“Some on here (exactly who?) don't appear to be doing that based on probabilities and medical advice. Of course they don't need me to tell them, it would be much better if they listened carefully to the medical experts (who has said they haven’t?) as I have previously suggested (who’s he to suggest and why should they take any notice?). As I have also mentioned and you seem to want to ignore, it's ultimately their decision.”(and nothing to do with him or anyone else)

For crying out load! are you trying hard to be difficult. I made it clear numerous times it's the parents decision on whether they have it or not. Why do you continue to ignore that.

I also suggested they need to weigh up the risks on both sides, those of the vaccine and those of Covid. You are asking who am I to suggest that, I'll tell you who I am to suggest it: A member of this Forum just like you who is discussing the subject matter, who are you to suggest I shouldn't do that.

I put it to you as well as some others that your objections are purely personal due to us having previous disagreements and as such are rather pathetic.

You are not listening and it is not personal, but no surprise to see you playing thst card!

Your first paragraph is were you should of stopped.

You don’t need to suggest anything, these are all intelligent people who are looking after their children!!

Suggesting it and continuing to question them is treating them like idiots and that they aren’t correct in their decision.

So you saying it’s the parents decision isn’t how your posts read.

I've explained very clearly what I said and what the intention was. I am finished with the matter now and won't reply again on it. You need to do the same as we've both made our points and it's now going nowhere.
Let's move on.

But still not willing to answer the questions in bold in post #25726, especially the people you’re pointing fingers at, “Some on here don't appear to be doing that based on probabilities and medical advice.”

Who are the “Some on here” as that accusation is insulting to them as parents.
