    Well that's a bit of a stupid, null and void point because neither I nor Graham or anyone else on here who doesn't share you views have used the childish tactic of insulting the newspaper that has been used as a reference to a story.

    You're not kidding.
    Here's what you had to say about The Mirror.

That's something that has been done by Hamish, Moby and Prickliness himself.

    Actually, Graham did you use that argument against some survey results I reproduced recently.....hence my tongue in cheek post above.

    However, as you point out, you would never use such a childish tactic would you........

    It's a shame you quote completely out of context. That was in response to someone else doing the "newspaper" trick.

    It starts at post #85

    but just for the benefit of the viewers and to demonstrate the amount of horse manure you talk here are the key posts of the conversation;

    What cracks me up most about you Moby is that whenever somebody else posts a News Story you are quick to dismiss it as being from a questionable newspaper ("oh you do realise quoting from the Daily Fail makes you a fool")..........

    yet you post this claptrap from a staunch Labour supporting Newspaper.

    You just want to have it all your way don't you - bit of a fascist tendency that is.
    Bit inaccurate calling the mirror a newspaper isnt it?

    ........

    Yes this compelling evidence of you discrediting a newspaper because it doesn't share your viewpoint does prove the point you made that you have never adopted the "childish" tactic of discrediting a newspaper because it doesn't share your viewpoint.

    Not that I'm a fan of The Mirror mind you, just pointing out the (rather glaring) flaw in the argument you made a few posts previously.
