"All they have in common with me is that they appear to have asked you difficult questions and, rather than giving them a response, you seem to have fallen back on your stock response that they are not real people"You are wrong Dan, there are two other things they have in common with you. One is their unhealthy obsession with the ICG to the exclusion of all else (in your case, to be fair, to the exclusion of almost all else).The second is that they are able to snipe away with total impunity because nobody knows anything about themselves.I could say that a third similarly was innate moral cowardice but this would appear to be covered by the second.Please don't be accusing me of hypocrisy for identifying likely sock-puppets when you yourself have produced a list of people whom you have unilaterally decided are bogus, and which in one case has resulted in you having to publicly apologise to the gentleman concerned.Peter Marles posted on this forum for the duration of the election campaign after you and a sidekick had conspired through your devious behaviour to make it impossible to conduct constructive debate here on the substantive issues. Having achieved this objective, your friend subsequently lost interest in the forum and disappeared.Like yourself, Peter Marles was completely untouchable because he was a man of mystery. Unlike yourself, he did at least make it clear where he was coming from as in his very first posting he indicated that he was posting as a spokesperson for the ICG.I am unfamiliar with any of the other posters to whom you refer. I do not have any "followers" of which I'm aware (an extraordinary accusation which to my knowledge has only been levelled against me in the past by New Labour Party spokespeople) and I do not understand why I am being called upon to answer for the words and deeds of people I do not even know. Do you consider me to be some kind of omnipotent being to whom the sins of the world are attributable?The original purpose of this thread was to question the modus operandi of this site's operators. You may be interested to learn that Peter Marles' account was suspended because he was suspected of being a bogus poster (although I imagine you would know that already). You may also be interested to learn that repeated requests to the moderators to confirm the bona fides of William E. Hughes, Vikki Baker and Karen White have been ignored, and "Hughes" at least continues to post here, with your apparent endorsement.Please be informed that I do not intend to continue this discussion, at least until you and yours have the courage to emerge from the twilight zone which you seem to inhabit and to conduct debate out in the open with all our cards on the table. There are more pressing issues for all the people of this borough, real and imaginary. Please feel free once again to abuse and misrepresent me in my absence, the ideal scenario indeed for such a gutless individual as yourself.
