Well Bill I did say that I wasn't accorded the right to know who I'm talking to, andso be it. Check that out in my post. If I don't like the rule I can say nothing, say so and stay, or just clear off. You don't always get what you want, in the words of St Jagger.

So you don't like the slap-down method of confronting eejits and bigots. You spell out your own worthy philosophy on how to deal with them. Well, that might work with some. But I watched you for month after month failing to get absolutely anywhere at all with pete. In fact, he was taking the piss and you didn't appear to be seeing it. Dragging you round and round in circles of his making. Maybe my method doesn't get me anywhere with the petes of this world either. But at least I won't let him make a chump out of me. Your dialogue with him merely worked to perpetuate his idiotic ambitions and give him his oxygen under the guise of "reasonable dialogue with the respectable guy". You were his succour. I meant that spelling but a freudian slip would have been just as accurate.

And do try to cut the cultural-racist crap. We have loads of nice people here, just like you have there.
