Joe Offer and I don't agree on a few things, have met half way on others and agree on certain points. But we can debate.

I am not going to alter his deeply held views and I very much doubt he will ever get me to lead with my left foot. Or the right one for that matter.

But you know what? I could entertain the idea of sitting down over a bottle or four and discussing theology with him. Because he has a view. A view that inadvertently in my opinion gives inferred respectability to zealous bigots but Joe makes his disdain of them very clear.

He is a good example of why the BS section of Mudcat.org is valid as a function.

Akenhateon on the other hand doesn't give respectability to odious views, he originates and proposes odious bigotry in the first place.

Rather than a few bottles and discuss it, I could do no more than I said a few posts back. Sup up and wipe my feet on the way out.

The late wonderful Jake Thackray once said "I can't tolerate intolerance." Quite.
