And now he uses it in personal attacks on me too, Keith. And just refuses to be told how offensive are some of his remarks and comparisons. He persists in making remarks which are offensive to an important demographic ~~ here, not in a foreign state in the Middle East; and if he refuses to acknowledge how offensive he is being, it is certainly not for lack of telling. And when I point out he is being offensive, he falls back on mistaking my information for accusations of racism, which he knows in fact to be no part of my agenda at all ~~ or if he doesn't, then again it is because he hasn't been listening...

I am beginning to think he is one of those people who always have to know what one means better than one does oneself. Mindset of a certain sort of doctrinaire politicisation, I suspect...

I very much fear that our dear friend Jim is losing it...
