Nov 6^th, 2015 at 10:35pm When the greatest political issue of our time is shifted to an obscure board, this site ceases to have relevance. May as well just read the Telegraph.

You may be right.

But you're still posting.

Are you just 'wasting your time' or are you reminiscing?

Oh, I forgot! On your way out, any clever suggestions for a board that is 'relevant'?

Very deeply and intensely... on a par with Einstein's theory of Inter-Human Co-operation, little old dictatorial leftie he was....

Very clever. Who appointed you as the arbiter of ignorance as opposed to acuity? And you tread dangerous ground when you differentiate between age groups and intelligence.

Then again, you profess to be 'smarter' than the average bear, so one assumes that you have an agenda in mind. If not, apologies are offered in lieu of castigation.

Do you have anything to offer except a juvenile reaction to something you'd rather not hear? No discussion, no debate?

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Defend your OP, scheisse!

What debate? I chucked out an opinion and a comment.

You wish to respond?

Not sure how you plan to win this debate by not engaging in discussion.

There are some here who, like tony Abbott, rely on quick responses with little or no meaning.

Now I'm not going to lump MOTR in that group without proof, but there is a group here now exactly like that.

I call it the 'Corporal Syndrome' - the ego-need to have any response to any situation so as to appear to be in control and appear to know what you are doing, even when that response is totally ridiculous and you have no idea.

It's a very immature approach to any situation, and can get people killed.

Whether or not it applies to MOTR I will await..... on the results.
