" I'm not going to waste my time on it."
'Course your not after the last fiasco
"Throughout your rant you constantly contradict yourself"
Where exactly - more unqualifies pronouncements - smoke and mirrors.
Contradiction didn't you write this "Again that is your rather weird take on things, but in a way it is true"?
"You have no right whatsoever to say what anybody else would do, say or think"
Where have I ever done that - I've just stopped Keith from doing it - perhaps you're confusing us (hope not!)
"But please answer the question a Free State - V IRA civil war"
Beyind me how you dae to demand answers when you constantly sprint away when you are asked a question, but it doesnmt matter anyway, I'm mre than happy to answer.
One was the result of a treaty forced through at gunpoint and by blackmail, conniving and other dirty tricks by Britain, the other would have been brought about by Britain's appeasing Unionism as they were doing - Hobson's Choice beyond the control of the Irish people anyway.
Had Britain made the same demands on the Unionists and insisted that the Catholic/Protestant had the same voting, property and employment rights as part of the Treaty, there need have been no war, just as, if Britain had stuck to the signed agreement that partition would be temporary, instead of altering it in mid-steam, there would have been no Civil war.
Britain not only succumbed to the threats of the mutineers but was happy to see six counties in 'a safe pair of hands'      
What's on earth's your point?
To date, I have responded to all your questions - you have responded to none of mine.
