Look, Wolfgang, it's a question of what the contribution is.

For a man that claims to have been in Ireland as much as you have, you could not have failed to notice a few things about the balance of society in the North.

Now, I don't necessarily wish you to go into your observations too much, unless you are prepared to admit that either you are deliberately taking the piss on occasion, when you present your observations about the situation here, or are just trying to wind up the situation, while you sit back with your usual detachment.

Either that, or you have a blockage somewhere, Wolfgang.

You know as well as I do that that Der Spiegel link was riddled with inaccuracies, and all you saw fit to call it was 'Interesting'.
You have discerned more from less in other opinions you have proffered, and you have been more than vocal when the mood has taken you.

I really don't like time-wasters, Wolfgang, and either you are one, your powers of observation are not what you would have them to be, or you are intrinsically anti-Irish.

Because for a man who supposedly understands the wheels of the World, you cast your incisiveness aside, and become just like the rest of the crowd in the Colosseum, as soon as the subject turns to the North of Ireland.

I have not seen a post by you, where you have provided a link favourable to the Nationalists, and if indeed the pattern of one's typed words on a screen can be used to determine the presence of mind of the poster, I would say there is always a certain degree of 'smugness' attached to your lyrics.

If you're anti-Irish, I'll slam you at every turn, Wolfgang.
Of that you may be quite sure, and we'll argue the fine print of link content til the cows come home.
You will always lose the argument, because as Amos said in 'Perception' the further away from direct observation your data comes from, the less likely you are to have the facts.

Don't let yourself believe that your take on any given situation is the correct one, Wolfgang; we're not going 'Man and Superman' on this, so get that notion out of your head without further ado.
You are as fallible as those you think you correct my man, and I think you are getting more bitter with the years.

Perhaps you should buy a television
