...do you hate everybody that supports the Iraq war or do you just hate Americans that support the Iraq war?

....I was always under the impression that a thick skin was a desirable quality when debating on the internet as one always finds the odd person that does not have the wit and intelligence to argue a point without resorting to strange behaviour. To respond in kind is usually seen as a weakness indeed two belligerent posters becomes boring when one is trying to have a serious debate.....what are your thoughts on this?

....you seem to be labouring this point about posting and the rules you have about those that post on this forum.....would you agree that it is up to the site owner "Walter" and his team of moderators to decide how they adjudicate and moderate this site?

....or we don't engage with you in conversation!

You are not from the US I notice....where are you from?

Anyway nice to see you and I look forward to seeing you round the boards!
