People don't misrepresent what you say. They quote what you say. Then you claim that what you said was just "whimsy"

Well, Nigel, you are one of the problem posters here. Why? Because you have little interest in arguing the toss (as a Tory, you secretly feel that you're on a hiding to nothing there, obviously, poor thing) and every interest in bitterly pursuing your perceived adversaries rather obsessively with a view to following Keith's "you lose" philosophy. Let's see if you can follow up the above quote from your post, in both its elements, with a chapter and verse example. And I'm not saying that to try to make a point. I'm saying it in order to keep you occupied for as long as possible so that the decent people here will have at least a few hours' respite from your rather snarky, stalking, distempered nastiness.

As I said to Iains, your partner in crime/soulmate/clone, just try to put your point of view without resort to personal attack. No need to presage it every time with a big quote from someone else. We'd love to hear from you. Just you.
