And before the rest of you start castigating me, I will repeat my earlier comments. If you come in to this village throwing around terms like "thug", etc. in a way which shows disregard for other peoples position, you have made yourself a target for response in kind. If this man had come in making reasonable arguements aimed at finding common ground to move forward with the will of the people of the North, Catholic and Protestant, Nationalist and Unionist, I would then engage him in a respectful debate. He did not. He started using terms and taking positions designed to inflame. The people of the North have spoken convincingly that they want the way of law, and negotiation. People who say idiotic, bigotted things deserve to be called idiots and bigots.
