Subject: RE: BS: Unarmed soldier killed, Woolwich (London)
I assume that you are not going to provide evidence for your insulting claim then? Ah well!!!

No need, Jim. Firstly it is not insulting, just factual. You have made over 120 posts in this thread - 12% from one person! Some going eh? You have used the term 'lie' or 'liar' in around 10% of those posts. Quite significant I think.

In fairness, I should point out that Keith has had 219 posts (nearly 22%) and used the term lie or liar around 15 times.

So, yes, I will apologise for saying you use the term extensively when it is only 10%. I reduce extensive to significant. But as just two members have added around a quarter of all the posts to just bitch about each other you will understand that other members will get bleary eyed.

As to the excuse for using 'boy'. I had no idea whatsoever who Aunt Molly Jackson was and I suspect that is true of 99.99% of the population. Even if I did know I would not have know the words for all of her songs. So your 'well know song' is only well known to folk music fans with an interest in pre-1960 American folk and a leaning to the left with particular reference to Union activism. Just one out of four on that score, I'm afraid. I do however accept that you felt that, for some reason, I should know and I am happy that no insult was intended. Thank you for that.

Just reading back again, I believe you have answered my other question, at least in part, too. You have stated quite clearly that you believe the perpetrators were insane. What you have not said is whether you believe ANY of their claims - IE, they were doing this an behalf of Islam and because of the actions of the British abroad. You seem to be saying that you believe that they were acting politically but not religiously. Please correct me if that is incorrect as carefully picking phrases from the mouth of a madman is not really a basis for sound argument is it?

Cheers
