A quickie:
Feb. 9th, 2007 01:36 pmReasons I'm not weighing into the debate over changes to car / fuel / road tax etc:
1. It's all over the place; I don't want to pick out one or two people to argue with, and I'm not replying to everyone.
2. If you can't be bothered to (a) spell check (isolated typos are not the same as repeated mis-spellings) and (b) grammar check (and I include avoiding the use of multiple punctuation marks), I will not believe you've bothered to check your facts.
3. Any side of any political debate can be sensationalised and spun to paint the Government / media / companies in a baby-eating, puppy-drowning light. If you don't accept and remark on the facts that there is another side to the argument, and that you don't know everything about the subject, I will read your post through a mental filter of "sensationalist hype" and ignore it.
