#566: -  'I don't understand why someone who hasn't been is telling me about India as though they know better' is the comment I was responding to. They gave no information about their experiences in India but simply stated everything was 'fine'. It manifestly isn't with the ongoing, long term and widespread bloodshed between Hindus and Muslims. I didn't 'go on about my decisions being made on experience' but responded directly to the original point made, by referencing someone who was born and lived there for many years. There is masses of easily available information available about the widespread inter ethnic/cultural strife in India. I haven't stopped anyone from commenting that is yet another meaningless fabrication, but  I have repeatedly responded to comments made directly with reasoned argument.

#568: - Re:

You didn't state any more in depth experience your colleague shared with you. Someone has stated they lived there for a long time in amongst shared community with little tension (I believe this is implicated in fine) and that tensions in Stalybridge entirely one sided is much worse. You then claimed that they had insuated that unless someone had lived in India they weren't allowed to comment, which they never alluded to. So no it isn't entirely fabricated, that's you reacting wildly at someone's conflicting point of view
