Don: Re your post addressed to me at 11.00 AM, what 'preconceptions' do you purport to find in any of my posts on this thread, which have been purely speculative [apart fom the repeated assertion that IMO Keith has not been receiving a fair hearing ~ hardly a "preconception"}? You & the others I have named, however, have clearly, to my observation, parroted accusations of 'racism' at any remark which might appear to name any specific demographic in any but favourable terms, whatever the facts of the matter. If this is not resorting to argument based on doctrinaire preconceptions, then it seems to me the words can have no referent.
