Thanks Anthony. This is the kind of thing that helps get us back on an even keel after a few nasty episodes.

I commented on the post, and I'm glad to see that rather than escalate this little spat has resolved itself.

You're quite right too about it being wrong to assume that just because you know someone's views on some things you know them on others. You can get far right Tories in England who are opposed to blood sports and capital punishment, or who believe in legalising dope. You get people on the far left who are opposed to abortion. Life's just a lot more complicated than people who want to put us in neat categories would like it to be.
