I was giving the article shit… Did you take that personally, I mean have you been imagining an argument between us this whole time…?

It doesn’t really matter to me whether you’re criticising me personally or the article. What matters is the quality of that argument. And it has, so far, been atrocious.

The headline is that kids can’t swim anymore

When the data suggests 4 in 5 can’t swim to an appropriate standard, that headline seems appropriate to me. It’s an overwhelming statistic, and as another user pointed out, humanising that by putting a face to it goes a long way to making the news digestible to readers. Your anger at this, and the fight that you have decided to pick with me for suggesting your anger is misplaced, is absurd.

You really need to take this down a notch, I am happy to continue this conversation and discuss our opinions,

Oh yes, the guy who responds to being called out for bad behaviour by stalking the person they’ve decided to pick a fight with and downvoting them in entirely unrelated threads, trying to play the “let’s all be civil” card. Give me a break.
