Steve Shaw. "Interesting that Teribus denigrates the killing of innocent civilians by the IRA".

As far as Teribus is concerned, he appears to believe that state terrorism (of which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are prime examples) isn't terrorism if it's practiced by the state.

I've had no dealings with Teribus until now, although I am naturally suspicious of 'catters who post below the line far more than they post above it.

However, his outbursts over what happened in 1707 etc., have convinced me that we have someone who is far more interested in scoring points and splitting hairs than he is in entering serious, constructive debate.

That, plus his distorted view of history ("what referendum? God almighty!), plus the fact that he needs to brush up on his literacy skills have convinced me that he is not worth dealing with.

Ignore him and he'll go away.
