That is a rather bigoted statement to make, but then we all know that you would wish everyone in your closeted world, to be left wingers.

Oh if everyone was to apologise for remarks that others deemed offensive, then this site would need a special section set aside for such apologies, and perhaps an even larger section for the offensive remarks that the accusers themselves have made.

gromit doesnt like Aussies or women, by his response to JGillard thread; thats racist & sexist....yawn ;)

AOG...that is just silly. The person in question made a offensive remark, which nobody on here is agreeing with. Surely a simple apology is in order ?

-------------------------
Can't really take the moral high ground if you can't apologise for referring to other AB'ers as knuckledraggers, can you?
Pots, kettles, glass houses etc.

But I withdrew the phrase, when the Editor asked me to. But I notice that AOG has now included the phrase in his moniker !

[ChillDoubt]

But withdrawing isn't the same as apologising, hence IMHO you can't really call upon others to make an apology.
Just my pedantry.

Not racist or sexist

I live in the same county and it now appears that this sad murder was most likely a case of mistaken identity, i.e the murderers torched the wrong house, the police have been saying they are investigating that theory anyway. It was heart breaking to see the father on the local news last night saying how he will miss his entire family who he loved dearly, my heart goes out to him, whatever his colour or creed. Poor man, he must be so distraught. Please think of this instead of racial bickering on here.

And also please think of the poor chap who was so brutally stabbed.
