Well, I think we knew that already, didn't we? So, like I said, he seemed to have missed his own point.

These pursuits are also just as objectionable, what is your point?

I then provided examples (my apologies for not stating that I was being ironic, but most others seemed to understand) of anti-hunt posters whose comments could not be classified as being of "those who rationally opject to its existence".
Could you point out where those who support hunting (of which I am not one) issued cries of classist behaviour? Have they called non-supporters "oiks" or "commoners"? Or is it that they stated their belief that the New Labour Government had spent an inordinate amount of Parliamentary time to focus on hunting using "class war" rhetoric?
btw, may I point out that using the phrase "crazed perverted bloodlust" in your post might not be classified as "rational".
