i have tried to ignore our friend but everytime i read his latest drivel the response comes automatically, the subject is too emotive and it is clear to me that we are all very passionate about our own views. most of us are clear headed, reasonable people who love debating, whatever topic is in front of us, we need to start ignoring our friend before we start to disagree and fall out amongst ourselves, which is exactly what the bnp and our friend wants.
divide and conquer.   
well friend it won't happen as we are too intelligent to let you win.
