Britain leaving the EU

[Tiberius]

"some people". Imagine someone entering a room with a few obece people in it and screaming "Some people are ugly fat basterds" to then defend himself by stating: No I didn`t mean you personaly.

Again, it was a general comment about perceived attitudes in the thread.

With this "some people" and your redicilous summery of "some peoples" opinion (which also happened to represent mine) in which you reworded it to be represented in as negative a light as possible, I felt that I had to respond, because it was simply disingenius.

I disagree with your claim of disingenuity and of re-wording, since I never actually quoted you, ergo I cannot possibly have reworded what you said. I was outlining what I saw as the attitudes in the thread; I backed them up in later back and forths.

In any case, did you not read my comment about bringing this up here? Don't. If you want to discuss what I said there, you can always PM me.

I will quote in future.

That wasn't the issue. Whether you quote or not is up to you, but don't just assume someone is talking to you when they make a response to one of your threads, especially if they haven't quoted you.

I did not say we wouldn't have anybody to trade with us but I'm not willing to engage in another one of your 'lets twist what he said debates'

You said we would be "nothing but a small floating island with no friends". Both the words "nothing but" and "no friends" imply an absence of trade, especially when you use it in the context of being an independent nation.

I'm not twisting what you said; I haven't done that before either (the matter I presume you speak of was one of the incorrect use of a word). I'm commenting on what your words seemed to convey. If that's not what you meant, perhaps you could explain what you did mean.

very interesting that you set up a website to debate with people yet you brand anyone who opposes your opinions as ridiculous.

I don't brand anyone who opposes my opinions as ridiculous. I only brand ideas as ridiculous when people espouse them. Note that I did not call you ridiculous (so you are twisting my words, how's that for irony), but rather branded your idea ridiculous.

P.S I have no issue with your belief we should leave the EU, it is a matter of personal view, mine is that we are better off in it.

Glad that you don't have an issue with my belief. I have an issue with yours in as much as I disagree with it and find your argument for it ridiculous.
