Jim,
you have claimed something which is horrendously racist

No I have not.
My only claim was that there was an over-representation, and that was and is true.

Steve, you have chosen to join Jim's smear campaign with lies of your own.

Your lie, " You ignored the glaringly-obvious fact that 99% of that community were not involved "

The truth is that I acknowledged many times in that 2011 thread that only a tiny minority were involved. Your smear is a blatant lie.

Your lie, "The whole tenor of your posts about the child abuse in Rochdale was to focus on the British Asian community. You were obsessed with it "

The truth is that I ignored the issue for days, posting about the original subject instead. My first post on the subject was to defend the victims when someone blamed them for their own abuse.

Your lie, "you called on out-of-context remarks by various witnesses and investigators to confirm your prejudice"

The truth is that I quoted in context, providing links to the original sources so the quotes could be seen in their original context.
