Keith, I don't know why you start threads like this.

May I just point out AGAIN that this thread died 5 years ago (shortly after it started). Maybe Keith is a complete idiot. Maybe Martin is a complete idiot. Maybe we ALL are complete idiots. ;-)

I'm pretty bloody sure that we'd all like the world to be a better place. As far as Nationalist & Republican goes, it does seem to be a better place now. Hallelujah for that, even if some of the actors carry some unsavoury reputations. If we gain anything by raking over old coals, then rake. But do we gain anything? Or would it be better to let the thread die?
