I'm Sorry Richard, but I rarely see you debate anything on this forum, so I doubt that you are the one to give Mr McGrath advice on "perception"

You make accusations, which you are never willing to explain, then vanish from our screens...Just saying that I "have form on hating minorities" is not good enough and amounts to a repition of Ians claim that I "hate" everything and everybody.

Actually I am a cheerful and outgoing guy in real life, I enjoy my sport, my music and frequent discussion on any subject....I love this group of people and think myself fortunate to have stumbled on Mudcat so many years ago.
I look on you all as friends, even those who disagree with me most vehemently.....tho' I am especially fond of the Americans and Canadians, who appear to be without the artifice and cynicism of we from the UK.

Larry, thank you for starting this thread, I think you may have initiated a sea change for the better in this forum.....AKE.
