I heard you first time, Bill.

He does not invoke my ire. He's a joke who is no threat to any ideals I may subscribe to. Actually, considering that you're not interested in my opinions, it's somewhat amazing that you home in on me more than on anyone else bar Jim. I'm sure that someone who "can be arsed to look it up" could analyse that statistically. I suppose it emanates from your underlying insecurity, so often laid bare on this forum. Let's keep on having fun, Monsieur Woodcock.

I would imagine that most thinking Catholics, Joe included (who, sensibly, probably isn't reading this) would distance themselves from this chap's intolerant and bigoted outbursts. You don't have to be in favour of abortion to accept that it's the right of any woman to make those decisions for herself, even if you accept restrictions. You don't have to like the idea of gay marriage to accept that ordinary, decent human beings want to embrace that for themselves and that, when they do, it won't do you or anyone else one iota of harm.
