"The reason, IMHO, that posts are down is the toxic presence here of a limited number of members of the insane political right".

The reason, IMHO, that posts are down is because of comments like the above by intolerant "intellectual socialists" who try to deny anyone else the right to an opinion.

Little Hawk has it in one.

"They are mostly vicious old men with beards, most of them live in the UK, nursing ancient grudges over their pint of ale, and you can usually find them attacking each other with vitriolic scorn on the political threads...but sometimes in the music section too".

Know anyone that fits that description Richard?
