This is OT and should remain off the list. It's an important issue, but it's not 313.
Get ye to Disception.net [Maybe I'll see you there]. **** Seeing as we're discussing this on-list, please could someone explain to me why boycotting Nick Griffin/exclusing him from a debate is the 'right' thing to do? From the opening few lines of the article in The Times: "It's an editorial decision based on a feeling for what the public think, and it's correct. In 2009 people expect to make their own minds up, and don't want to be cushioned from discussion, however problematic." Please can someone give me a measured response why this is not the way forward? I am happy to be convinced otherwise. I have yet to be presented with anything that challenges my standpoint.
