Assuming what you are suggesting is true.

It's not as though I'm taking advantage of someone with learning difficulties or anything, is it ?

Or so I assume, at least.

While if someone is psychologically incapable of ever admitting that they are wrong about anything, then that is hardly my fault is it ?

And is hardly a good basis, for discussions of any kind, about anything at all

Which I so I'm led to believe at least, is the supposed purpose of Usenet discussion's.

I think it is extraordinarily naive of you (and another poster) to suppose
that Roland is using the group as a source of legal advice; he tends to use (more or less edited) personal cases as material for discussion, as a public service to the group. His main fault, in fact, is to become irrationally enraged if anyone disputes his own amateur legal analysis. That is really
*not* asking for advice.

I think it is extraordinarily naive of you (and another poster) to suppose that Roland is using the group as a source of legal advice;

If you actually care to check, I think you'll find that I have
consistently supported Mr Perry against accusations levelled against him
by Mr Wells; both concerning his supposed undue interest in the
widow in the IHT case, and regarding the questioning of his honesty
by Mr Wells, in the gas meter thread.

At one stage I did however make the rather salient point, that by choosing
to discuss matters directly involving contributors, rather than in the abstract, there was always that much greater possibility of
people taking offence

Or as you say yourself in another post becoming "irrationally enraged"

I do hope that makes matters clearer for you.

It's not as if ulm was set up for people to ask for advice, is it?

Recently I've been involved in probate matters, which like London buses
seem to have arrived three at a time. And am much more up to speed as a result. One was concluded as recently as this week, with the DWP finally "NFA-ing" an enquiry into the benefit claims of that deceased.

I try very hard not to *give* advice, when the subject matter falls
outside my own professional experience of the law. Which is skewed
towards the law*making* end of the spectrum. My late wife was more
involved in courtroom aspects, particularly with victims of domestic
violence.

That is really *not* asking for advice.

The harassment of other ulm participants is definitely not permitted,
although it does seem to be escalating.

The harassment of other ulm participants is definitely not permitted,
although it does seem to be escalating.

That's a rather serious charge.

Who exactly are you suggesting is being harassed, and by whom ?

Or do you choose to regard all unwelcome but perfectly legitimate >>questions, as a form of harassment ?

It's the way the questions are phrased.

As this is apparently* an issue concerning moderation policy I
think it only reasonable for you to give same actual examples
of what would normally be considered, to be inapproprite phrasing
of questions

As in the absence of any such imformation posters might otherwise
feel themselves subject to the arbitrary whim of an unknown
moderator, making unacountable decisions to which they themslves
will never be privy.

* That's only an assumption on my part of course.
