""One doesn't need to be factually mad or infected with rabies to make comments which precisely fit the description I employed Al, but then you already know that.

Which part of this essentially simple sentence is beyond your powers of comprehension Al?

An examination of Mr Bridge's name calling of Tory MPs, the Conservative (not his intemperate, malicious and offensive alternative appellation) Party, and those who, like myself, outvoted Labour supporters at the general election, would I think amply support my description of his more hysterical utterances.

As to my being abusive and aggressive, I vigorously dispute that.

I have made just one aggressive post that I can recall (and I'm not proud of having done so), in response to a direct and unwarranted personal attack by BTNG.

I have been at pains to explain the reasoning behind my stance, and this has been ignored by most posters on this thread, in favour of simply making unfounded accusations of delusion and lack of empathy.

If that is the level to which this discussion is descending, I wasted my time requesting that it be re-opened.
