Dave knows very little about the PMK1981 when he chooses to call him a stroppy toddler and his insult could well stifle this guy's contribution in the future - i.e. ending his legitimate right to free speech on this forum.

Come on, adam#1, ignoring threaths of violence etc -- and that's not what we are talking about here -- it's silly to suggest that someone's right to free speech can be curtailed by a comment on a Internet message board. If PMK1981 decides to sulk instead of replying to what he perceives as an insults, that's his choice. To turn this into a debate about freedom of speech is just ridiculous. You could just as well argue that Woodhall's right to free speech has been impaired because some posters think that he, as fanzine editor, should be nice to everyone. That doesn't make sense, either.

Am I in the H&V clique? I've always wanted to be in a gang.

I am the one talking about insults. You are the one who brought the General into it by trawling through my posts from another thread that you brought over onto this thread to raise in your defence by criticising me - perhaps you'd care to take the time to go back through this thread to clarify that - I'm sure it won't take you as long as it did to trawl through my previous posts to seek out one with which to criticise me.

I stand by my view that you aer seeking deflection of the debate by raising another point.

I haven't sought to deflect anything. Protests were mentioned and I said at this point such things are akin to behaving like a stroppy kid, which is something I think applies to a lot of the hysteria of the past few weeks. That's my opinion. This free speech malarkey works both ways.

That's because much of what he tried to say was being wilfully misinterpreted by others

It was, which was I was surprised when he carried on in exactly the same way after his brief hiatus.

You wouldn't want to be in it, they're very much like Gary's Gang of 70's disco hit 'Keep on Dancing' fame.

I think it's because they don't want to all die in some bizarre asteroid incident.

If you had been DBTW in Sheffield the Police would have arrested you when returning the stolen goods to the victim. I am afraid that is the way your cookie crumbles.
