I understand and regret the depth of that feeling. But surely in a practical sense only - the issue being discussed matters less than the limitations by our forum - where the different ideas on this issue are currently being discussed?

I read this paragraph several times and as with a lot of your posts Roger I find it obscure.
Are you saying that what Bobert is discussing is less important than what you're discussing?
Are you saying that the 'Left v Right' political doctrines in the USA are less important than your personal crusade?
Or
Are you saying that people are not discussing your complaints about "the limitations on our forum".

As you have done with the Mudcat quotations thread you have tried to push this thread onto your own agenda, when it has nothing to do with your personal paranoia.
When you say "where the different ideas on this issue are currently being discussed?" surely you mean where we try to discuss them and where you ignore all questions on the subject but just keep repeating the same crap ad nauseam?

Lastly Roger we are as entitled to an opinion as you, and are equally as free to express it, whether you agree with them or not is of no matter to the majority of the world, Mudcatters or otherwise.

Giok
