That is as blatant a misrepresentation of my views as it's possible to make. There is nothing "unethical" about seeking to separate attacks on those trying to investigate and prosecute criminals from the criminal activity itself.

My arguments aren't holed either. They are frequently misunderstood or misrepresented, but that's different.

My opinions on Judges and the way our justice system works is partly as a consequence of personal experience and not from the kind of political bias often to be seen in the counter arguments.

I have no idea how old you are. What I do know is that age often brings with it a perspective that some regard as wisdom. That others, less wise themselves perhaps, see that as delusion, is rather revealing of their own character.

That's the only amusing sentence I can remember you writing since you turned up.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

As people with a warped sense of reality tend to have a warped sense of humour, at least this comment makes some sense.

To whom it may concern.

HOL is a forum for football fans and by it's very nature is likely to be a vehicle for robust discussion. It is not Mumsnet and those areas like politics are likely to attract some fairly aggressive posts.

There is a saying about people unable to take the heat should stay out of the kitchen and that applies to this section of HOL and if people don't like the robustness of this area then please don't post in it.

Every time someone reports a post a notification goes to all of the moderators who then should all read what it's about and possibly discuss it amongst themselves which is a huge waste of our time.

As a matter of interests in the last six weeks there have been nine reported posts of which five have been reported by the same person who seems to be unhappy with responses to his own posts.

You may all recall a high profile poster had his posting privileges removed some time ago, not for his political views (as his mates claimed) but because he was a nuisance with his constant whining and reporting of posts wasting everyone's time.

I wouldn't like to see that happen again so please either accept that some responses will be a bit "sharp" or else confine yourself to other areas of HOL

So you agree then that you should condemn Nelson Mandela as a terrorist regardless of his contribution to ending Apartheid or whatever else you consider favuorable by using the same absolutism as you do with Robinson?

We need to be clear about this.

Deliberate policy? Let's see some evidence of that! We have no real idea what was going on under the radar to deal with this. With the benefit of hindsight it seems mistakes were made but that doesn't mean we can question the integrity of those involved without evidence. My earlier posts suggested we did not know whether the media had responded to requests not to publicise. Now we know that, at least for some time, there were reporting restrictions in place.
