for Adrian,
I too like debate, would I be here if I didn't?
I do not like anybody who snipes at every opportunity.
I will debate with you, but I will react when you attack me and I will call you whatever I think is justified.
You stated that I had accused you of being a racist, now that you realise I didn't, you resent my suspicion of you being racist. That suspicion stands.
I jhave always started out debate with you in a civil manner. It is you, I contend, who resorts to foul tactics like playing to the gallery and making " humorous " posts which are actually designed to denigrate me which really riles...and gets the reaction I believe is warranted.
You admit debate can get heated, but you want it on your terms.....you are free to insult but cry foul when you get a hostile response. Tough shit!
I will offer a way out of this......you stop your attacks, in the way I have described, and I will debate without resorting to name-calling.
I will even warn you if I feel you are out of order.
This is called negotiating a compromise.

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
