Its the tone of responses like those above that discredits the integrity of the debate. If dissenters are closed down and insulted, the impression given out is that its not worth even bothering to contribute. And it speaks volumes about the credibility of the contributers.

On the contrary Bob, I have no desire to close down or cover up or otherwise censor your views on Ewan MacColl. Nor have I any wish to insult you.

I just want you to express your opinions on a more relevant thread.
