Though Cherie posed the question to you in reaction to a post by you, I did not have you in mind at all when I posted my response to her question.

My response to her and what followed was more in respect of other posts which have been on the thread before you even entered the 'debate'.

I saw your perfectly valid explanation to Cherie BEFORE I pressed to submit my post, but did NOT edit my post because there was no need, because in my mind I was not specifically referring to you nor addressing you in my response to Cherie.

If you believe that any of my critical comments were specifically addressed to you because they 'fitted' your own particular viewpoints, then that is at best coincidental, and at worst subliminal on my part.

I am only too aware that we 'all have our own free thoughts and our own free opinions' and I just wish that certain others would remember that when it comes to taking undue and extreme umbrage at some of my thoughts and views.

I have never ever tried to browbeat anyone into changing their opinion, and - as my many comprehensive posts will attest - whether supporting a premise on here, or challenging it, I merely write with sincerity and passion about what I believe, and usually support my opinions with facts and figures in the true spirit of genuine debate.

...(ok, most definitely last post in the thread ..)...nothing is happening to you and I Kirk....with respect you and I have no importance at all, only the migrants and refugees in Calais are of importance...we differ in our thoughts on many things and that's just as it is...and it really doesn't matter whether you were referring to my post or not even if it was quoting a response to my post...you have your truths on the migrant camp's dissolving in Calais and I have my truths and that's perfectly fine...but what isn't a truth my friend is that any opinions are attempted to be manoeuvred in any way or that there has been a cause for any defensive positions to be had...not anywhere in the thread...our thoughts/our opinions/our truths are our own and no one else has any control over them whatsoever... and that is the only truth in regards that...
