I suppose having a name for a star studded rock God career sniffing marching powder and being less than respectable to groupies didn't quite happen. Although the ex bass player of a well known indie band in the '90s who is himself a director of an NHS trust gets his past parodied by the local press when there is a health scare story in the offering.

Although I use a name for other than professional and private in music, hence bringing it to Mudcat, most people know both. Hence the move to Musket when a view here on Mudcat was explored (positively as it happens) at work.

That aside, allow me to address you directly. A while ago, a kind soul pm'd me lots of quotes from your past posts. (They must really have it on for you, it was a very long post...). As well as your more odious rants, mainly against gay people, it included a few gems showing a side of you that doesn't equate.

How can you post saying you see no difference in skin colour / race and that we are all fellow people yet say the exact opposite regarding gay people?

THAT is the bigotry I and others refer to. Pointing to the media fascination with the pink agenda and using that to describe all gay people. For someone normally disdainful of newspapers and government, you are quick to repeat their mantra when it resonates with your preconceptions.

You say you have lost your anger. Fine. Use the same logic to lose your fear and mistrust of fellow members of society.
