/// I've already asked you what new angle of debate you hope to get out of this new thread AOG. ///
First and foremost I have already explained the reason I entered this thread, it is in the news.
Secondly I do not have to explain to you or anyone else who asks, "what do I hope to get out of this thread" as no one else is obliged to when they introduce a thread.
But to humour you, I wish to get out a decent all round debate on the subject, put before you and other ABers, isn't that what this site is all about.
Put up any opposite argument by all means, but without the need to derail a thread just because you dislike the subject in hand or indeed the particular poster.
/// So far you've basically called me 'the likes of you' ///
The "likes of you" is a common term to mean, persons such as you.
/// told me not to join in ///
I have not told you not to join in, only if you have nothing constructive to add to the debate, or you state that it is yet another pointless thread. As others have suggested, there is no compulsion to join in, if you feel it is a pointless exercise.
/// and suggested I may be mentally ill. //////
I have not suggested that you may be mentally ill, please see Sqad's excellent explanation.
/// Can I ask you to point out where I've insulted you? ///
You insult me, almost on a daily basis.
I do hope that I have now answered all of your questions, although I am not saying that they might please you, but that is the best you are going to get, since I have spend far too much time already attending to your own particular sensitivities.
