You just can't help yourself can you, stop your continues baiting, we all know that you are referring to Naomi.

I don't believe we are.
As I pointed out yesterday, I believe that comparing one bad thing with another bad thing does not mitigate the original bad thing in any way - it is blowing smoke and does not add to a debate about this serious issue.
