So despite the risk of further extremist rhetoric, I'll just state bluntly that not a single line of your post is supported by reaasoned evidence (and no, I don't want you to even try!). The whole tone of your post bears the stamp of high decibel sloganeering, which is the surest way to stop the ears of your listeners. I'm sure you do not need reminding that the LUG is not a platform set up for the purpose of political debate, but while you have every right to express your political views where these bear some relevence to a LUG topic, you do NOT have the right to usurp its primary purpose. Those of us who find your tone abrasive, ill-informed, extremist bigotry and ultimately irrelevant to the concerns of the LUG will continue to use the delete button. What a waste of your efforts! I think we all look forward to the return of your old smiling self;-) Nick >*****WARNING***** >The following contains politically explosive comments which may be >offensive to some.
