I agree with George H completely.

This thread has been AMBUSHED.
An interesting debate has been derailed with tangential VENOM.
When George is either disinterested or uncomfortable with a thread he will avoid it allowing others to partake of their interest unhindered.
If George has something to say we will contribute IN CONTEXT.
If George has something special to say he will start a NEW THREAD.

He is an honorable, generous and fair-minded person. When he speaks out strongly it is only in the face of considerable affront.

This thread and it's original subject, Gaughan on the nature of 'Tradition' is now defunct due to intolerance and selfishness. So what do we do? Do we try to ignore ignorance and continue without regard? Do we "take the bait" and degenerate each legitimate debate into an incoherent "slagging match"?

I do not condone censorship but in the most extreme situations. I find however that most fools, ignoramus' and bigots eventually tire in the face of stubborn intelligence.

Illigitimae non carborundum.
Don't let the bastards grind you down.
