Tink, I have been harping on this subject for so long but I constantly get howled down by the Socialist Left on the ASF...I have been called all sorts of names and I have experienced more than one attempt of Character assassination which is all part of their play.
Noco I don't think you deserve to be personally attacked but you do seem to provoke by your continual use of "socialist, communist, fabian" to describe those that lean to the left of you. The context you use these words in gives a very negative connotation. If I went around describing every Queenslander as a redneck I wouldn't expect a warm reception from Queenslanders as most aren't rednecks. And the same can be said about the whole climate debate, if I wanted to engage in a civil discussion with someone on climate I wouldn't call those I disagree with as either a warmist or a denier and expect to a positive discussion to take place.
