""I do wish we could have a ironic typeface available to us here...""

No irony McGrath! Would you say that there is no sign of an agenda, when somebody whines about the persecution of a minority which happens to be a group of which he considers himself a member, yet sees no persecution in confining another group in an open prison camp, because he doesn't consider their lives to be as important as those of his own persuasion?

I realise that the poster in question is considered one of the good guys by many here, which means that nobody will take the trouble to examine the basic attitudes displayed.

I am not inclined to put together a large number of illustrative posts which you can easily find for yourselves, but I assure you they are there.

Beating one's head against the wall is all very well, but I've had enough, so I'm out of this thread.

If you care about putting the bits together, RTFM.
