    I'm not surprised some people are reluctant to post and merely lurk on this forum. Not so long ago anyone who posted anything remotely bearish got banned. So the moderators are ultimately to blame for their way over-the-top and biased censorship.

    Leave poor rewired alone.

    Whoever they are, they do a valuable service, thanking those beset on all sides, where a 'speaking' poster would be afraid to tread, because the'd get dragged in. I think they perform a useful function.

    What was the IRA thread you mentioned, wageslave? How can rewired have got involved, given they don't post?

    It was one of those "wandering" threads we are so good at on here. We ended up talking about IRA terrorists from way back and someone (can't remember who, not a regular I think) said they were freedom fighters and the British Army had a lot to answer for. They got one thanks and it was from rewired.

    I remember Hamish wrote a really scathing post in return. When he gets off his house-price-hobby horse, he has a a surprisingly keen mind.

    One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and all that...some people might say that the British and US armies are terrorising Afghan women and children by dropping bombs in Afghanistan so nothing is ever black and white.

    This is hardly the place for such discussions though and is bound to lead to rancour. I will heed my own advice and say no more on the subject.

    Absolutely bang on.

    Bang on? Bang on?

    How anyone can compare a british soldier doing a thankless, filthy job in a country he would far rather not be in to a scum-bag with a bomb in his backpack is beyond me.

    Your post was unclear and I leapt to a very unfair conclusion.

    I sincerely apologise
