It’s not silly at all - And I ask you exactly the same question: if there are varying degrees of insult, please quantify on a scale of zero to 10 where you would place the insulting terms that you believe have been used in this thread.

What would be the point in that?:rotfl:
The golden rule on forums like this is to argue your point in good faith and avoid the temptation of referring to people as things like racists and xenophobes.
Some posters do have trouble in that regard it has to be said.

I would have thought the point was obvious - given that you have postulated that there are varying degrees of insults, then you must have some idea of what the ranking of insults is; so I was simply asking you to back up your assertion with some examples.

I was initially surprised that you didn't appear to have thought through the consequences of your actions - but then I remembered that thinking through the consequences doesn't appear to be much of a leaver strong suite...

It displays a rather worrying degree of control freakery to want someone to rank insults in order using a 1/10 scale, and before you ask I'm not going to rank levels of control freakery either!

Anything thing us remoaners says is a 10
Anything a leaver says is a 0

Silly.

It is the 1/10 scale you find control freakery? Because I think it was your lot that was suggesting they should be treated differently. Or is it just hypocrisy?

ps it was 0 to 10. figures not a strong point?

No segregation from my end Phirrip, as well you know.:)
Its just ironic that at the extremes of one of your examples of this country's wonderful diversity, they find your other example slightly problematic.
When you're trying to make a cheap point as you're apt to do, take care next time.

Which, if you think about it, is a metaphor for brexit - a reasonable request for a leaver to justify their position results in an accusation of “control freakery”

Good thing I wasn’t asking about something important, like one single real actual benefit of leaving the EU...

It's funny how leavers say xenophobic stuff and then get defensive when called out on it. Psychiatrists would have a field day.

All caused by the xenophobic segregation policy of this country.

As always I leave the cheap points to you, it's all you've got & I'm not greedy.

Would it annoy you if I told you I voted for Brexit totally on a whim and that a glorious upshot of my winning and you losing, was that it has totally hacked off people like you?
On a scale of 1/10 (or is it 0/10?) how angry are you?

The sad and worrying thing is that you honestly think we have "xenophobic segregation policy" in this country. Brexit derangement syndrome is manifest in just about everything you say on here.
Seek help please.

I actually think that's quite funny.

Sometimes, for my own amusement, when I come across someone hogging the middle lane on a motorway I sit in the outside lane next to them so when, eventually, they need to overtake someone they can't get out.

I think we might have a similar sense of humour.
