I will be accused of prolonging this thread but having read it right through i must completely refute as utterly false Divis Sweeney's last post.
It is just a tactical lie to win sympathy.
There is NOT ONE place where I do not respect his or Den's or the Guests right to hold their views. I challenge them but in a subdued and polite manner.
Contrast that to the venom with which I was shouted down.

I did not even accuse Sweeney of Guest posting.
All I did was to point out some circumstantial evidence, at a time when I was the brunt of some unpleasant abuse from guests.
Elsewhere on Mudcat that is a normal debating tactic, but not for me.
I withdrew it and apologised.
I am still waiting for him to apologise for accusing me (in February)of making a guest post that proveably was made by him.
