I did read your reply. And as I suspected, you didn't read the article. Don't you think it's a bit odd to be talking about rational debate when you'll dismiss something 'regardless of content'?
Hmmm! Does that remind you of summary justice we may have heard about in the news recently?
Lovely strawman.
I don't know what's more amusing - your 'no need to read' concept of rational debate, or your tacit support for totalitarianism while championing the values of this country. Either way, have a word with yourself.
