I'm getting pissed off with all this tit for tat arguing and what is coming around to personal attacks. This is supposed to be a discussion forum where we can all enjoy what is supposed to be a shared hobby. Unless we all move on from this more and more members are going to leave or simply not bother posting any further which will result in only the views of a select few holding sway. I don't want to be part of that as lifes too short.
I'm sorry you feel this was a personal "tit for tat" attack on you....but you did boast about an action which is signed to ask people to refrain from doing...because it is your belief..then tried to justify it....I pointed out others have different beliefs and your actions conflict with those views...but you seem to disregard their feelings to gratify your own....so please don't try to make out you have been singled out...you stuck your head above the parapet.
Not on me it wasn't Resonox, you're aiming at the wrong person. I was just saying what I know a lot of other people feel that we want an end to this pointless and negative arguing.

Hey Mr Sanctuary, good for you for taking the moral high ground about not arguing but could you clarify what is your position on the Silbury moral high ground?

In other words, is it OK to walk straight past the notices asking people not to climb it - and to climb it? Where do you stand on the issue?! ;)

Quite right...I should've read the author's title headings more closely, but as so many people on here state their point of view then sit back and let others carry the can for them...these things are bound to happen...but again...my apologies for a silly and ill-observed assumption.
However...............
I'm not sure how arguments are pointless or negative though.....if everyone agreed blindly with everyone else...there would be no need for any topics...the whole point of a debate is to have two sides presented and I daresay fought for...usually until an accord is reached...which rarely happens(human nature) or until a lid is put on the subject and it is left to simmer with both sides unsatisfied, but at least having got their point across.
I disagree with people blatantly disregarding signs and climbing hills where climbing is prohibited..not because I see said hill as a high observation point or a point to be observed from below...but as a simple preservation measure...am I really so wrong to argue for preservation against those who "have rights" as proclaimed by their ancestors(of which we have no proof)?
