Amos,

In an earlier post, addressed to Mick, pdq does say I don't rationalise the actions of the actions of these jack-booted thugs anymore than you do.

I don't think he is advocating or condoning brutal treatment.

As I read back through the thread, he actually seems just to be trolling. Pretty good at it, too. Oh well. Live and learn. I'll know better than to bite in the future.

It's sad, though. Such a waste of a degree in hard science and 9 hours towards a masters.
