PeteMorris Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 That would be fine if they advaced their arguments, but they don't, they they just keep repeating the same thing. I don't mind a debate with anyone who is intelligent, but most of us outgrow just repeating the same thing long before puberty. Just repeating (for instance) "Driving fast is dangerous" twenty times doesn't make it any more correct than than it was the first time. Yes I agree with you that repetition is very boring. Does that mean this thread will die now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Fred - I find myself having to repeat over and over again - 'do you have any evidence to back that up?' I also have to repeat certain points because a fair few posters don't check a few pages back to see if their point has already been discussed. I feel these are acceptable instances of repetition.

I try to answer each point raised by someone else. You'll no doubt notice that most of the following posts from the thread start contain a quote!

PeteMorris Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Absolutely nothing. In fact, I would go so far as to say the most irritating threads are the ones where the original poster says nothing, and that's the last you hear from them! That happens quite a lot!
