I’m expecting a lot of finger pointing at China so I’m not surprised. Disgusting and they’ll drag others down with them. And the markets are back up and running!

I certainly attack ideas and as a consequence those holding them will tend to get in the firing line too. That though is very different to seeking to find every and any excuse to attack a poster, which is what has been happening for a very long time. That's not moaning at all. It's water of a duck's back to me. It just a statement of fact. That such things are closed down is not any kind of attempt to stifle criticism. It is to ensure that the criticism is directed at the idea and not at the poster. But surely light hearted p*** takes are hardly insults (WE 11 March)

Whilst I think conspiracy theories are generally absolutely crazy... as far as the chinese government goes, I wouldn't be surprised if it came out as being released on purpose. Trump has been very strong with China and his America first policy, which would have affected their exports. Huawei's attempts to be a Chinese state version of Google in terms of data collection were haulted. Stories coming out left right and centre about the chinese planting spys in universities and technology companies to steal ideas are rife. The leader has just made himself leader for the rest of his life Until November, they were having loads of problems with Hong Kong. Rumours over the summer were going round that china has paid gangs to attack protested, and placed fake protesters to commit atrocities where going round... it seemed to be a battle that they could lose... Then comes out an illness that puts Wuhan, and Hong Kong on lock down. Both America and China are nucular states. China has several quarrels all around the world. America's biggest weakness is probably its healthcare system. The EU was struggling and acts as a trade barrier for china.... This might work out quite nicely for china... especially given they dont really give a s*** about their own people.

So are you one? I leave that up to you to decide No, I don't think I could ever be so described. The Google definition is just a simple one liner. The OED defines it more comprehensively as:- "a person who has very strong, unreasonable beliefs or opinions about race, religion or politics and who will not listen to or accept the opinions of anyone who disagrees". I don't believe my opinions to be unreasonable and I certainly listen to other opinions, even if I strongly might disagree with them.
