no. we can't argue against stoning and them subject someone to it to prove our point, highly contradicting.

I walked in and said; "Andrew Neil..." and he went white...(I was young and especially powerfully built back then ) but he quickly thawed when I continued; "I'm a massive fan of yours. Hope you don't mind me cutting in on you like this, just wanted to say keep giving those nice politicians a grilling" (or words to that effect ) He and her both broke into huge smiles and he held out his hand and thanked me as I shook it.

He actually engaged me in political chat for about 5 minutes and seemed genuinely interested in my views.

He seemed like a thoroughly decent guy.

That's nice when you meet someone you admire and they turn out to be nice and not an arse, despite the fact you had him worried there for a minute...

I agree. Don't stone him. Walk him out of the back of a prison, shoot him in the back of the head and push him into a hole. Done. And yes, I would happily do the job.
