Trouble is, bruce, I can't help harbouring this image of you, a funny little goatee-sporting goblin in a pointy hat with bells on, leaping up and down hysterically shouting about how Hamas has murdered just about everyone who has ever been murderable. What's noticeable about both you and bobad is that the chaps here who one might have thought would be your allies never, ever speak up in support of you. I reckon you probably make even Keith shift uncomfortably from buttock to buttock at times.

Go on, tell me you're really a six foot eight Adonis with a PhD in philosophy...
