Hurtle, even the anti vaxxers have moved on from those old lines.

Kev, I heard Sir David Attenborough has been sniffing around lse for his next series.
Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".[5] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki.[6]
Description
The troll feigns ignorance and politeness, so that if the target is provoked into making an angry response, the troll can then act as the aggrieved party.[7][8] Sealioning can be performed by a single troll or by multiple ones acting in concert.[9] The technique of sealioning has been compared to the Gish gallop and metaphorically described as a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[10]
An essay in the collection Perspectives on Harmful Speech Online, published by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard, noted:
Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequences.

Stu, from the Rns: "As of today, Synairgen has not received any data from the ACTIV-2 trial."
No, but they don't clean the toilets or make the tea either
That's correct, 2 does come after 1.
There's nothing wrong with having a sensible exit price, and any talk of £20 without any idea how the company are going to reach that is just noise, my problem is when people try and kill any kind of discussion about where we could be.
It would surprise me if polygon weren't on this forum planting the seeds for low expectations right now, every time anyone starts talking about future earning potential, I see contributors piping up with the old "let's get to £2 first"
They've got £40 million in here.
Lol, nice try
"The powers that be don't want it"
I think head of the FDA Janet Wood**** might disagree with you there.

Things have gone on longer than we'd hoped, if they find themselves in a position where they need another raise, they'll have to do another raise. Hopefully we'll see some results first and get better value.
Apology accepted
Dibs, I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit annoyed with how you've misrepresented me there, I'm pro Isa, I'm pro tax and pro social mobility.
You've made up a narrative in you're own head and used my post as a vehicle to tell us your opinion.
Maybe people skim read posts on here, maybe they don't read posts in chronological order, or maybe they don't read them properly at all, it happens all the time on here.
Dibs, I wasnt suggesting it was a good idea, it's a terrible idea, my point of it being a banking issue Is, if every one pulls money or stops putting savings in their ISAs, the banks are going to have a big balance sheet problem.
Maybe my point was a bit lost because it was over two posts.
Term, but then the government might have a bit of a banking problem on thier hands
Getting rid of the tax benefits of ISAs would generate more tax in the short
