Neither David Martin nor anyone else you accuse of attempted
mind-reading is doing any such thing.

Hansenspeak is much more closely related to the subject of Matthew 7.18-23.

Non sequitor. Mind reading has nothing to do with the text you wrote.

Let me clarify that. My mind reading ability has nothing to do with my
ability to read the text which you wrote in response to JohnB's claim that
it was up to him how he made use of the results of a CRB check he had
requested.
You claimed he was wrong. You were wrong, or if you wer enot would you like
to point out why you are right.

It was, but not enough people had it.

Nice try. However, the text I have left in above is a perfect
example of someone who appears to think they are good at mind
reading.

The discussion is there for people to read. As with most discussions
there are few simple "yes or no" answers.

It was read. At no time did you post any arguement as to why JohnB's
statement might have been wrong, except a proof by assertion.[1]

People will read the discussion and come to the conclusion that you were
either wrong, or not prepared to submit an arguement as to why you were
right.

...d

[1] which is no proof at all.

Excellent. Nice try.

Yes, the discussion is there. You have never answered.
Here's you chance again.
Why do you think a person/organisation who requests a CRB check cannot
determine how they make use of the information it contains.

And my answer remains the same as it was before. "As I have said
several times, such a system fails to strike the right balance
between the competing interests." This answer relates to several
other answers, in which I outlined the problems with the current
mess and how a better system would work. All available for anyone
interested to read.

Huff and puff as much as you like, dance on linguistic pinheads, but
that remains my answer.

Incorrrect. It is also slightly amusing, in what it tells us about
you.

Don't give up the day job though and take up mind reading. You will
find you are very bad at it.

You gave a response. It was not an answer to the point made.

That is indeed what you said. And as has been pointed out, the imbalances in
the system are irrelevant to the question put. Let me emphasise the key word
you appear to have misunderstood.

cannot

You appear to have mistaken this for

shouldnot

so are answering a different question.

And it remains orthogonally related to the question.

I'm afraid not even a "Nice Try" tho'.

I am aware you believe the CRB has failings. I do too.
i am also aware you wish to waffle on about them.
But you are still not answering the question.
It really was quite simple.

Your critical faculties are failing you, even after the large clue I
gave. What David Martin, I and others are using is the time-honoured
application of "by their fruits you shall know them". No music hall
tricks required. No implication that anyone knows or is even interested
in what might be festering away between your ears.

just the way it's supposed to be, like falling into a Swiss
