Subject: RE: BS: Black Belt Obstreperous Prick Club
Bloody hell . . . I'm working as well as following these threads and my machine got jammed as my 3D software pinched all my available RAM and the whole shebang came to a stuttering halt, hence the fussy posts. Apologies for the clutter.

What I was trying to say with my not-to-subtle link (and would have typed under had the gremlins not got in) is that sometimes decent, perfectly intelligent people can be wrong; very, very badly wrong.

We have a duty to oppose extremism and bigotry in all it's forms, and whilst some of the tactics here are rather direct, the tactics of some of those provoking these reactions are far more insidious, using misrepresentation and deception in support of their arguments, all the time sneering at the work of honest, decent people.

Just because someone uses nice language and appears meek in the face of outcry does't mean they're not worse than those whose outrage is articulated in a way that offends some people, often selectively.
