Lizzie, why are you incapable of simply carrying out a reasoned discussion? As I said earlier, there was nothing personal in my arguments. I despise the politics of the Daily Mail and all it stands for - reactionary paranoia. The first post that you opened this thread with embodies, IMHO, many of those values. You defended the paper recently on another thread. You make numerous posts which are provocative, and then get arsey when people are provoked.

You bring things down to a highly personal level, then screech when things get personal. If you're incapable of having a discussion with people who disagree with your viewpoint, perhaps it would be better not to post anything which people might find contentous. Because I have been politically active all my life, and as long as you continue to post things which I find politically questionable, I will continue to say so. If you choose to interpret this as a personal attack, it would appear to be your issue.
