I see. In which case I'll be kicked off toot sweet. I like nothing better than a DISCUSSION about difficult issues, but discussions must be governed by the rules of rhetoric, otherwise only the noisiest and most bullying voices are heard.
I look forward to getting kicked off. I shall make a point of never using bad language or scurrility, not 'baiting' anyone just for the heck of it and always address the issue at hand. I'll be proud to be kicked off because, in my polite and reasonable way, I make DV uncomfortable.
One issue at hand, as I see it, is something to do with Catholicism and Tony Blair. If Tony Blair wants to become a Catholic, who objects, and why? Is it because he has blood on his hands?
The other issue is Digital Vampire's inability to further such a discussion without repelling smart, informed people with something to say.
