Otherwise I liked your post Gonzosports, but do have reservations about aiming too personally. Whether Banter was deliberately trolling, has very set ideas or just enjoys bating for a good argument we've all got pissed off with 'him?'.
My post was a bit too condescending, which I didn't mean it to be. I guess as much as I thought I was trying to be objective, I was, in the end, a bit offended myself.

It remains difficult to have serious debate with a point of view coming from obviously such a limited set of perspectives. Those posts were from a fearful person.

I regret the condescension.

As to the culture thing. Agreed.
