Are you saying that although we differ in our opinions there is even so a moral equivalence here which absolves me of holding to erroneous views?
Quote:2. RaceDriver (only saw the double meaning in that when I typed it just now! Shocked ) seems to be the only staunch defender of herberts stance here
.
I am not at all one to be relied upon by those who might at first think me to be their ally and in sympathy with their rightwing views. In my experience it does not take long before our viewpoints depart their separate ways and I am no longer their ally.
Quote:and I'll add to my list of the "sensible" snood - very measured responses, given the tirade of nonsense.
His threatening me with physical violence when not speaking of me in terms of 'shyte' and 'crap' nevertheless in your judgment qualify him as being 'sensible' and given to 'very measured responses'... ?
You've disappointed me, kitchenpete. The respect that I once held for you has entirely dissipated upon reading this patent nonsense.
Quote:Other than those, I've rather wasted my time. Good idea for a thread, McTag - pity that it's become a "rage against the dying of the light".
Yes indeed, good idea for a thread, McTag. I'm going to withdraw from this debate and sit back and see where it goes without me. kitchenpete says this thread subject is a good idea - and apparently it's only me who is responsible for its being a failure.
So I'm going to step back, say nothing - and be a spectator to kitchenpete helping to make this 'good idea' of a thread be a success and a winner.
Over to you, kitchenpete.
