    Missing the point

    So as not to muddy the calm and friendly waters that is TPD, I've decided to move this spat here*

    (*No, you haven't just logged onto IPSE, we're still horrid...)


    Morning!

    Who would have thought I’d have my most satisfying Permaban of 2017 on the last day?

    I knew you should have permiebanned him back in September - he lasted one more post...

      Ah, but we would have missed the most sparkling of all his posts!

      And I’ll bet that he’ll think I banned him because of his criticism of Big Group.

        What to do about CUK? I want to help people under attack from HMRC.

        The trolling I endure gets to me after a while.

        I suppose no good deed goes unpunished.

          Yep - remember my FAQs in the public sector IR35 forum. Where are those trolls now?

            The irony is that you've missed the point...

              Indeed.

              You are one of the people who make CUK bearable.

              On better news, I got the end of year email from TAA. HMRC painting themselves into a corner. I hope there will be enough evidence to blow IR35 out of the water.

              Anyway, I should probably get back to drivelling.

              Talk of drivelling, I miss Zeity.....

                  I'm not perfect - I've just spent a very long time learning my strengths, weaknesses and imperfections and ensuring I work around them...

So people pick up and argue over that minor bit and seem to implicitly accept the rest of it as fact. By banning him on the gender issue alone you implicitly accept the rest of his argument has a basis in fact and that just isn't the case.
