I do not doubt that he has some notable experience, however, his
positions are consistently undermined by his belligerence (perfect
adjective for ., I think). Also, when he is wrong, then debating
becomes impossible because he produces more abuse than considered
opinion. If I want to read a tabloid, I'll buy one.

Agreed. The [News] postings are similarly helpful. I hadn't realised
the full significance of this until Gary/flatty suggested that you were
merely posting in order to get a google indexed item - then I realised
just how important these postings are, and why our astroturfing friends
are so worried.
