Peter. Thank you for contributing your wisdom and general apercus. If it wasn’t for you and a few others, I wouldn’t bother coming to this place.

@09.21.I can never make out what PP says at the best of times...is he writing in some kind of Polari or Pidgin English?

Whether you agree or disagree, everyone has an opinion and no one should have to face abuse because of it. Same with which party you vote for, which footie team you support and so on........

I still don't understand the problem.....A private organisation invites someone to speak then the same private organisation decided to cancel the invitation.....I am not really sure how that can be ended?

I hate it when I visit a thread to find loads of deleted posts. It feels like arriving late to a party and finding only empty bottles.

Hold on, just a minute...Is this a thread about free-speech?

// It feels like arriving late to a party and finding only empty bottles.//
( the deleted er deletions)
yes if there is a thread to the er thread - it makes it hard to follow.
put that at - - - it makes it even harder to follow

Hahahah I love it when a post is removed and the successive posts cussing the removed posts are still there - doubtless for reasons of taste
and to answer san mac

//Hold on, just a minute...Is this a thread about free-speech?//

of course it is - that is why there are so many removed posts ! ter-dddah !

Speech is definitely not free. It can cost you a great deal.
