Maybe both. Hard to tell.

Naomi - // andy-hughes, found out? He wasn’t hiding anything to be found out in. You don't seem to have the gist of this at all. //

Your continued defence of this odious man baffles me, but they do say the best form of defence is attack.

[SparklyKid]

Thank you for your input, I resolve to try and do better.

I doubt it, leopards , spots and all that.

OK, I am aware of your analysis, shall we get back to the thread now?

[SparklyKid]

AH, you consider him to be odious. To many honest , decent and caring worried people , particularly in Luton, he is held with the highest regard. Your low opinion of him is a worthless comment.

[SparklyKid]

I wish TR would join AB. I have read on here that it is unfair to insult people who have no right of reply on this forum.

My opinion is my entitlement, as is yours, and everyone else's.

Your disagreement with it does not devalue it, except in your own opinion, which is not universal.

I for one would be delighted to debate with him person to person, but in terms of the negativity, or indeed positivity, he receives on here, I doubt he is very much interested either way, and is certainly balanced and secure enough not to lose sleep over my views, r anyone else who doesn't quite adore him as his followers do.

That doesn't surprise me.

They do? Well, it's not doing a lot for your posts. You sound as confused as the OP.

Well AH, after reading a lot of your posts and listening to a lot of what Tommy has to say, I do not believe you would be a match for him, just my opinion you understand.

[naomi24]

^My opinion too.

[SparklyKid]

He is not adored, just agreed with.

[andy-hughes]

We can agree to differ, and we have our individual opinions on the merits of 'Tommy Robinson' as a debater, or indeed anything else - that's what makes the world go round.

[SparklyKid]

Your problem AH, is that you post things as facts. Calling Tommy odious is just your opinion and should be stated as such. Similarly with saying his followers adore him. All your posts should start with, in my opinion.

[retrocop]

Amen to that SK.

[spathiphyllum]

I’d hate to debate him.. school playground tactics

[Mamyalynne]

I wish Tommy would join , it would certainly break up the constant never ending repetition on every thread about him.

[Mamyalynne]

^ In my opinion.

The posters on here whose opinions matter to me are entirely able to distinguish between aspects of my posts which are my opinions and which are facts, and I am not minded to trouble myself to preface every opinion with 'In my opinion … ' purely for your benefit. I am sure you understand.

Tommy debates quite emotionally, sometimes hysterically.. i prefer calmer, factual, topical debates from people who can rationalise their points and articulate them in a mature way
