Why should anyone care if you stay or go? I know i dont have many posts on this forum but i have been looking around for a while, so i do understand why you have posted this thread
If they wanted you to go, they would stop replying to your posts, you would get bored and leave.
Similarly, I am a believer in free speech. I actually believe that people should be free to air their opinions whatever they may be, I take the view that outrageous and unpleasant opinions are self destructive, that is people can see them for what they are therefore the more exposure we give them the better. By this I am not saying your views fit these descriptions, I am merely making a general point of principle.
The issue that you have provoked Stately and the reason you have generated a certain level of animosity against yourself is simply the way you have chosen to state your opions, not the opinions themselves. You cannot convince people to consider your views by abusive denigration of their views. This tactic only serves to alienate not just the debaters but also non participants. Put your views with courtesy and without personal innuendo and you will find that even if people disagree they will listen and respect.
I agree with mike had a little tussle with mike myself but really enjoyed it and respect the man for it even if he knows much bigger and better words than me And by the way have you been away you havnt been on here for a while cheers
I've decided it will be a shame to see you go, I will miss some of the retorts you have generated for yourself.
I think window licker is the best one yet, my misses nearly split a tit laughing at that one.

Well done Mike
What he just said up there !!!
Don't put yourself below someone just because they can come across as intelligent on a forum.
Reading between the lines, I think he's a fake, and is trying far too hard
