[Sigh...] Just call me Radish Melba.

when I do answer the repeats, Don, I do repeatedly get accused of repetition.

This is either dishonest or stupid. You've been accused of repetition because, when you're challenged to justify or explain a statement you've made, you reply by repeating the same statement. It's a bit like this (entirely imaginary) dialogue between Mr A and Mr B:

A: "I say, B, your views are jolly well racist, that's what they are."
B: "That's false and defamatory, I love the world being multicultural."
A: "So what? Whether you love the world being multicultural has nothing to do with whether you've got racist views."
B: "But my views aren't racist - I'm just questioning immigration."
A: "The point is, you're questioning immigration on racist grounds."
B: "That's false and defamatory. I'm no racist - after all, I love the world being multicultural."

(At this point Mr A had the good sense to give up.)
