Given that so much of this thread has been taken up with those vehemently opposed to Trump complaining heavily about 'Russian' meddling I'm curious what they make about the recent revelations against Google election meddling for the upcoming 2020 elections against Trump.

You seem to have some creepy fascination with me. Following every step by the sounds of it with me when it comes to HOL activities

obsessed are you ?
Mrs Wisbech must love you!

Is she your first wife?

If you'd prefer I won't respond to your let say, insightful posts, anymore
It's simple...

I understand your protection and apologetic views on Muslim grooming gangs, which intern, makes your comments about "kids not being angels" more understanding and your love of Asia

You need a medal for moderating this site and wading through this absolute nonsense on a daily basis.

I hope its not unpaid!

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

I apologise to others but I cannot let that stand without rebuttal.

I can assure you I am not "following" you! I "follow" no-one here although I read some with more interest than others simply because they generally have something intelligent to say. You are not included in that group.

I didn't even notice who posted the comment I responded to. If I had I might have refrained from responding knowing the kind of nonsense which often follows. I just responded to the post. Not the poster.

I won't bother to respond to all your attempted further personal insults. I might disagree with some here over the way that we ought to handle things like "grooming gangs" but you won't find anyone more supportive of the need to ensure that any criminal be identified, prosecuted and punished under the law, without fear or favour and following due process. As someone who has reported suspected pedofile activity to the Police here in the past I do though take particular offence at your snide last comment. Now go away.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I anticipated that! You are though wrong. I will explain why.

Whenever I respond to you, or any other poster, I try to address the argument and not just attack the poster in personal terms. The decision on whether to read or respond resides only with each member. Being human I might fail sometimes but if that is pointed out I will apologise.

In the case in question the posts have been entirely personal so having corrected some of the insults it is hardly cheeky to request the offender to go away.

Should they respond to an argument I have made with reasoned counter arguments, and not personal insults more suited to a playground, then that's another matter.

I learned on Catholic web forums many years ago to condemn the sin but not the sinner. I try to remember that and apply a similar principle.
