I don’t support any form of racism, Deerey…that’s for sure. Not sure where the Trump comment fits in … nor why you choose to be so dismissive about my contributions.
Re some folks being unreasonable and lacking respect ..are you suggesting I shouldn’t refer to my experiences because it might not ‘go down too well?’
If I were as invested in this forum as you are I would welcome folks like me who bring a bit of difference, try to keep it respectful and can lay out an argument. Instead my genuine questions re Hamas sourced casualty figures in Gaza remained unanswered and were met with petty jibes. Equally any mention of my Christian faith has been regularly met from some quarters with a cocktail of sneers and red herrings. It didn’t used to be like this. I remember reasonable exchanges with you, IA and even Heath. Now its ‘racism’, Trump and ‘why don’t you do one?’ My suspicion is that now that Bucks and BPG have gone and Sidey is ‘on side’ on everything but Israel .. theres only JI left to have a pop at.
Next time I decide to make a contribution how about resisting the urge to find ‘ammo’ dredged up from Gurney’s dossier and instead treat me as a discussion partner. Not everyone who sees the world differently is necessarily thick, deluded or evil. Maybe ..in the interests of keeping the forum alive ..as well as decency .. those inclined to personalise instead of staying on topic could even be asked to reconsider. That would be good.
