Question Author
Not wishing to offend anyone, but I feel that I must say this, that reading some of these comments makes me want to put into question the mentality of some of my fellow ABers.
They have disgusted me so much that I request that the ED now steps in and closes this question down, which I presume will achieve what some have been seeking, that being the stifling of debate on sensitive issues, but then if this the price I have to pay so be it.
Had this question been entered in the ChatterBank section, then one might expect such answers seeing that the ED has added the following welcome to ChatterBank.
/// Welcome To ChatterBank the home of natter and nonsense on The AnswerBank. You could ask serious questions here, but don't expect serious answers! ///
But this is the news section, home of news and topical debate on The AnswerBank
