Indeed. Only 2 posts so far.
Long-time reader you say? Who joined the forum maybe no more than maybe 10 days ago. A lurker if ever I saw one.
Looking at the comments you chose, I am not convinced that you have been following this debate much at all.
For one, there's plenty of people in the UK who will use the term 'English' to mean 'British' - quite a large section of the population doesn't really bother to distinguish. Maybe they're wrong, but the question is valid enough. Considering this forum is open to the entire Internet anyone could be from any country on Earth, just about.
The second comment simply shows that you are not following the debate, or you would understand the context in which the comments were made. If you did understand the context, the answer to your questions would be obvious.
So you want me to justify myself? OK - if you know what a 'troll' is in common parlance around the Internet, then you will understand why I accused the poster of being such. Or is that not the bit you found distasteful? So offering the poster the alternative he found it necessary to challenge me on it, just as you have. (Odd that...) Instead he could have simply accepted the fact that he is a troll and continued his fun or perhaps think that maybe
his rhetoric was possibly being mistaken for something altogether more radical.
No, he chose the 3rd alternative of trying to make out he was involved in an intelligent, reasonable, rational, intellectual debate.
And then promptly spoiled the illusion by talking twaddle.
Your final paraghraph kind of sums it up. You are attempting to moderate the discussion.
Reminding us what this thread was all about - let's get back to what we were trying to talk about, instead of pondering on the motives of "Dr Wadd" - interesting you chose to capitalise his handle like that, because in the forum he's just "dr wadd". I wonder what made you do that...
Lastly you are chastising us for leaving poor Abu Hamza vulnerable to this attack, having already clearly laid the blame at the door of the judicial system.
Go back to reading long-time.
