Keith, with respect, if anyone is an obsessive it is surely you. Reading your previous posts was not a pleasant chore, let me assure you. However, I felt it only fair to look at your ouevre in its entirety so as not to fall into the tendency for demonisation which we have all seen on messageboards.

Far from being an ad hominem attack on you, looking over your back catalogue has been a salutary experience. You manufacture theories on the flimsiest of fact and you come across as much more driven by opinion - usually at the expense of fact. You are opinionated in the extreme. That is no crime in itself, however the overwhelming majority of highly opinionated people have taken the time to look meaningfully at existing data and information and then present their own coherent and logical synthesis. You do not do that. You merely Google newspaper reports and regurgitate them verbatim, or selectively filleted to endorse your own view.

This is also interesting in that you have actually owned up, on this thread, to having no opinion of your own and that you are merely restating what other, more qualified people are claimed by you to have said. It is clear from your input that the context in which others have spoken or contributed newspaper etc articles means nothing to you. And yet, you have the temerity to accuse me of having a "twisted agenda". You have yet to explain precisely what is my agenda and how you have deduced it.

You have also persistently fought shy of answering direct questions, most recently two days ago when I invited you on a number of occasions to address the points I had raised. You refused to do so because it "would take days" and then you asked me to resubmit my issues one at a time as it would be easier for you that way. Reading your back catalogue has made it very clear that this is your stock in trade. It is easy to dissemble, to prevaricate and to indulge in sophistry. You have done it with abaandon on virtually every thread with which you have been involved. In fact, I would go as far as to say yours is the classical behaviour of a messageboard troll.

I will not allow you to claim an ad hominem attack. The archive speaks for itself and your claim that you were playing a game in responding to your own posts is patently ridiculous. Your latest diversionary tactic has been to ascribe WORDS IN BLOCK CAPITALS which you would have us believe are all Lox and others have said to you. But, yet again, this is merely a smokescreen to cover up the fact that your arguments are intellectually bereft and you have once again resorted to the victimhood role you have so often adopted in the past when you run out of logical argument.

No sir, reading your previous posts was neither obsessive nor done in anger. It was, nevertheless, a salutary experience showing as it did that you are an incredibly one-dimensional individual, your posts demonstrating that you are consistently lacking in intellectual vigour or, indeed, honesty. The good news is that, having done it once, I can now consign the memory to the dustbin.

I would suggest to you that the mark of a real obsessive is the creation of aliases and imaginary friends. If messageboards have that effect on you, I would suggest that you get out before you slide further into lunacy.
