[Cerek]

Originally posted by Barry the Sprout: What Timber said really, in fact rarely has a thread come up where I've agreed with him so much to be honest. I still have respect for you Cerek, and other right wingers on the forum, for a number of reasons. Even in heated threads you keep your cool and debate rationally and in an informed manner on a wide variety of subjects. The fact that you voted for Bush though means I have less respect for you and for others who've done the same. Thats really, for me, just a rewording of the general statement of disapproval engendered by my political opposition to Bush. Politics is not something you keep in a box, seperate from everything else. Why do you think religion keeps coming up no matter how many times the ban on it is reinforced? Politics, for me, touches all subjects and helps make a person who they are. As a result, in many ways, this distinction we have here between personal and political attacks is ludicrous and this is demonstrasted most clearly by your allusion that I have just personally attacked board members by my attack on their politics. Its like Timber says really - for me a vote for Bush is a big tick in the negative column. I simply can't get round the fact that that is a logical consequence of politics for me.

Fair enough, Barry. Obviously I read too much into your comments. My apologies for that.
