Tony Bennett ! Misguided fool or fervent campaigner ?

[Eleanor]

Well, I feel sorry for him.  I would have died a thousand deaths if I had been humiliated in such a fashion.

As for what I think of him, or his motives, I am still trying to figure that out.  But it all sounds frightfully sad to me.  What a waste of what could have been a force for goodness and kindness.

In this one sentence you have just answered who you are...

If that is the standard of certain members powers of debate I'd rather they did not engage me in same as I will not respond.

Care to explain why you have gone back on your agreement and undertaking, and what you said on BBC News at the time?

By what powers of deduction do you reckon I am Tony Bennett ?

The moderators of this board can most certainly verify that I am not Tony Bennett from my location.

I shall await your apology Muratfan !

Who mentioned Tony Bennett?

Be interesting ... are you going to say you will allow them to post your IP, I will then match it on my Blog as I am well aware of your IP, as your proxy one is not hiding you very well

Please don't take this as a compliment but I can't see any resemblance between your posts and those of Tony Bennett. You are not as verbally effusive as he is.  And while you have a tendency to take umbrage at minor irritations, you don't deal with them in the same patronising and dismissive way he does.

No, you are definitely not Bennett. Not even in his league.

  If only he had used what seem to be good talents in other ways then indeed he could have been a force for good.    There are many causes he could have embraced.   But we all have a bad side and this is an example of what happens when you let that come to the fore.  Instead of being lauded for his ideals he is hated by quite a few people, and not just on the internet.

Yes, Bennett is a very sad individual who has wasted years of his life (and his family's life) in obsessive campaigns all of which have ultimately failed and in this case very conspicuously failed. Not only has he embarrassed himself but also his family with his actions.

He hasn't demonstrated anything akin to goodness or kindness nor even the most basic empathy with any of the victims of his campaigns.

I am not here looking for compliments, I am here to read reasoned debate, unfortunately there are only a very small number of contributors capable of same.

And on the evidence of your posts so far, your presence is not going to increase their number.

Wonder why someone is asking members of a fora, on what to post, then posts exactly the same on here

[muratfan]

Strange that Mr Advacado is online , and has been for several hours, but is missing his own threads..

On-line, the same time as someone else on another fora (albeit hidden log in), for the same amount of time
