Jim ~~ I am not behind any shadows, You know perfectly well who I am. And I have no record of persecuting or denouncing or anything-elsing homosexuals, with many of whom I am on terms of intimate friendship & cordiality. And I haven't any record of posts on this forum, so far as I am aware, which you can take into account, as you are persisting in doing with Keith, as a no-brain smokescreen for discounting what I say ~~

Which is that I am astounded at your obdurate refusal to face evident facts, which have been moderatley rubricated in this thread, because their recognition will not fit in with your predetermined political agenda ~ which is the only explanation I can find for your absolutely atypical and uncharacteristic fatuities here.

For example: Do you not see that, with an anti-racist record like hers which led the Telegraph to denounce her as you quote, Alibhai-Brown's exposition of her views on this specific issue, which Keith has not summarised but QUOTED VERBATIM, become even more forceful?

I am sorry, I have no wish to quarrel with you. I have as you know great respect for you: and Backwoodsman went out of his way to praise the civilised urbanity of our contrary discourse on this thread earlier and said it was 'a pleasure to read'. But I cannot stand by and observe the frivolous, fatuous arguments you are deploying against Keith's careful expositions in silence. I am frankly astonished at & disappointed in you.

Though not in the least at/in that stinking Foulmouth-Lox, with his typically inane shrieks of "nonce". Welcome, Keith, to the club of those irrationally abused by that walking disgrace to this forum

~ off which I will, in all recovered coolness, remark that I think he should have been permanently chucked neck & crop for his disgusting remarks to me a few days ago. If people are not to be banned from here for completely unfounded accusations against other members of being unable to control their [non-existent] colostomies, being bondage-kinky, being helpless dribbling cripples, then what do they have to do to bring any moderator's wrath down on their heads, I should like to know.
