Roger, you say:
"If this - what many folk honestly believe is the case - were in fact the case - I wouldn't be providing all this evidence to clearly demonstrate otherwise. Or feel that I needed to."
You claim here the fact that you feel you need to provide evidence, and that you provided the exerpts earlier, as evidence in itself. "I feel the need to provide evidence, I provide evidence, so clearly that fact is evidence". Sorry, Rog, that is a perfectly circular argument, and counter to any logic. You just invalidated your argument.

You then go on to say:
"Only for this evidence to be mostly ignored and for folk to still carry on expressing opinions that simply fly in the face of the facts. And for folk to be encouraged post to call me names, tell me to shut-up and to go away."
You state yourself that this "evidence" is ignored by people, and they express opinions counter to yours. Is that not evidence that you stand alone in your claims therefore?

I will not even go into how you painted yourself into a corner with the start of your 5:38AM post. Joe offered an olive branch and you took it and attempted to hit him with it! Not nice, I thought...
