Al - you're one of my favourite blokes here...

Jim/Steve/Dave/Ake [yes even Ake]/ and all the other usual characters..

I like and respect different aspects about all of them as well..

Just much as I can find things to criticize, or even dislike about some of 'em....

Keith is different.. I find him very boring and far too disruptive, and a liability.

So if I appear to be having a go at him, it's basically out of self interest..

He seems to be the one who most derails the threads I enjoy,
usually starting the rot that brings them to a premature end.

Now I don't even dislike Keith.. He's probably too bland to upset me that much,

But I just wish he'd think more carefully about how he gives the impression to other people
that he is right wing.

He clearly doesn't like being evaluated as a right winger.

So surely it would help him and us if he tried to became a little bit more self aware and considerate
of how he presents his persona to all the rest of us.
Plus the mainly negative impact he has on what start out as and interesting and entertaining discussions ....???

I come here to waste a few minutes leaning from and being cheered up
by seriously good quality wise and creative minds...

What is frustrating about Keith, is he is clearly an intelligent bloke, who can make solid astute points in a debate
whenever he's not droning on with petty dragged out pedantic squabbles.....

Now I'm no amateur psychologist..
but for Keith's and our own mutual benefit - maybe we could view this as a positive friendly community effort
at 'intervention'...?????
