grace pettigrew, what is your motivation for claiming to divulge the name and address of a fellow contibutor? Is this an attempt at intimidation? Whatever it is, it does you no credit. Nobody else amongst your many opponents has questioned whether "grace pettigrew" is your real name, and nobody cares. It's the arguments you present which are of interest to us. I hope DM will not be intimidated from contributing in future. Change your nom-de-plume if necessary, but keep writing DM. I find that I agree with your comments 100%. My Father said our family motto is "Fight On". I commend it to you DM

Further to the above grace pettigrew, how dare you ask another contributor whether they have been unfaithful to their spouse! What ignorance and gall!! And when DM emphatically denies such conduct, you dismiss the reply as though it had no credibility. You have told us a lot about yourself by such petty low-down tactics. They are utterly devoid of "grace" but are disgracefully "petti".

You have missed the point too, angry Big Al, but keep on shouting, you never know, someone might still be listening....

Oh, and by the way, what does the "big" in "Big Al" stand for?

Big Al, thanks for your contribution. I am in no way intimidated!!
I am sure most of us read and contribute to this list because we enjoy intelligent, academic debates. Grace Pettigrew’s last few contributions were so petty and un-academic, that I didn’t want to bore people by continuing the tone she had created.

Perhaps these are the tactics one uses, when one doesn't have a proverbial leg to stand on. That being said, if 'Grace Pettigrew' lifted the tone of her contributions, who knows, one day she may even become an asset to her side of debate!

If her reason for ‘flushing me out’ was to encourage ‘hate mail’ or the like, well she’s wasting her time. Because anyone who read my letter in ‘The Australian’ would know that I’m in the throes of moving anyway.

Big Al 30, I hope you don't dignify Grace's last comment to you with a reply. Does it have anything to do with this debate????
