Dear OTB,

I will repeat it for you:

When you stop with your -

1) Unreasonable generalisations.
2) Personal insults.
3) Attributing illogical statements that are in your
head and not in what I've stated.
4) Using every discussion for your own political agenda.
5) Assigning blame instead of reading what's been said.
6) And the list goes on...

Then, and only then,
I shall be happy to have a discussion with you.
However, as I don't see this happening any time
soon - I see no point in continuing.
No "huff", no drama.
Kindly find someone
else to stalk on this forum.
Someone who may value your opinions.

Cheers.

Lexi,

Many who have challenged your opinions have been subjected to similar accusations, attacks and door slams.

Rather than feel defensive when presented with facts that challenge your entrenched opinions, why not take the opportunity to review your beliefs?

There is a whole world out there.

Dear OTB,

How about you going back to your own posting record
and re-reading what you've posted to me
throughout your time on this forum - what people like -
Luciferase, CSteele, Poirot, Bec, Suse, and others have had
to say about you. You regard yourself as some kind of
"authority" it seems in giving advice. How about taking
some of your own? Yes, there's a whole world out there.
But all you seem to have discovered is "ME." And flattering
as some people may find that. I don't. So be a good chap -
and - bugger off!

Enjoys having a pick.

However, he doesn't like it when his target refuses to to bite.

Dear Poirot,

That's his problem.

I've just been cleaning out some of my husband's
old book stock -
and have come across a book given to him by a
friend in Los Angeles that was written by a former
Attorney-General of the US, Ramsey Clark,
entitled, "Crime in America." Apparently it was
a national best-seller in its day, and a Book-of-
Month Club Choice. I've just flipped through it
but it appears to be a literate, thoughtful,
and reasoned discussion of crime in America.
I intend to read it - even though it's out of
date. It will be interesting to see how America
has changed over the years - (better or worse).

I assume the attack being referred to was the one on Christopher Lane. A search of news items about the attack found about 247,000 using the word "racial" (or similar). So it is incorrect to suggest that a racial motivation for the crime is not being considered: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Christopher+Lane%22+racial+attack&oq=%22Christopher+Lane%22+racial+attack
