Secondly I didnt mention anyones name here other than J Lawlor's and I've already but my hand up to that. As for strike one and draggings peoples name through the mud -I think you did that yourself when you mentioned Lawlors name in the same breath as the Sunderland Committee and its delayed report. By implication, all of us were dragged through the mud, if that went unanswered -so I had to answer you -does that mean you were belittled? If you were, it should be a lesson to you for not checking out the facts before you wrote it.
As for me getting you wrong about your source -I have to take you at your word and say I got it wrong, but does it really matter where you heard it or if you were given two and two and came up with six yourself? What you were suggesting was still misinformation, - damaging stuff and because I too was a member of that committee, you could have bet your wages that I was going to come back to answer you.
Its easy for all of us to feel the victim at times, and you certainly came across as so when you say we are all entitled to our opinions -and so you are right, but we are also entitled to reply when someone elses opinion wrongly offends us, whether intentional or not.
Offsider - i think it time now to call this a day, like other users have requested. I suspect you might want to have the last word though and thats fair enough and I will leave at that, but should you decide to go for another over the top offensive, you shouldnt then expect me to opt for the right to silence!
