I refer you to my earlier statement.


Review the thread, I asked a question, BigDon posted without answering, I asked again, again he posted without answering. BigDon said he wouldn't answer so I stopped asking.


I do realise, but my point remains that the culture is one of bullying the weak, including the physically weak. If men have no recourse to officers who care, why would women?


You are coming at this from the wrong end, when she went missing would the media not be informed? Was there no search for her? Where did her family think she was, or the Belgian Embassy in Mombasa? Or was no-one looking for her? Once she is on the plane why would anyone fear for her safety?


And you will make that decision based on third hand hearsay evidence? Does the right to a trial and being innocent until proved guilty not apply in all cases? Or can you tell who deserves due process?


I read his posts and his attitude to violence and bullying, that is what I have based my posts on. I have read more posts of his than you have of mine. I could ask the same question.


You think I am bullying BigDon but what he describes is not bullying? A man on a ship whose officer has washed his hands of his responsibility can be bullied, a man on a forum which has an "ignore" function cannot be bullied.

BigDon, this is your thread and as you do not wish to discuss this we won't.

Neverfly, you cite wiki as a source? You also claim the ration is 3:1 civil to military, did you factor in the different sized workforces in each class?

Moose, pacifist or not you are simply piling on and adding nothing.

Geonuc, at the risk of it happening again, I knew you did not support me or approve, and were simply trying to be helpful.

To the others who posted, rather than make this longer, if the above does not cover your points, please post them again.
