I'm an atheist, and a neutral about royalty. But I am not aware of any great eliciting of blood or thunder on these particular counts. Could it be that SS attracts these, not because of his views, but because of the truculent charmless aggressiveness with which he always appears to see fit to express them? Why can you never attempt a modicum of civility, SS, or a mild moderation in what you say? You have the knack of coming over as if a kick in the cods and a bloody nose are the least you would like to give anybody who chances to think differently from you. I have no doubt that, in private life, you are quite a different persona, held in love and affection by family and friends, whom you treat with equal affection and regard and consideration in return. Why can it never appear thus on this forum, I wonder?

Affable greetings
