Read my post again (the second in the thread) and you will see that far from "supporting Lawrie's view" (whatever that means) it actually contains a gentle dig. Sorry for indulging in such subtlety - I hadn't anticipated that yours would be the next post. The distortions you indulge in to get at somebody are an absolute disgrace. You even accused me of "ruining the thread" when is starkly clear for all to see that it is *your* first posting with its ludicrous hyperbole that starts all this off. Facts such as this seem to mean nothing to you. People notice this kind of thing, you know, if my inbox is anything to go by. You don't want to see it, believe me.

See the newsgroup racist? Posting again with his appallingly discriminatory language? What's the difference between the word 'paki' and the word 'mether' to the recipient?

Your answer to that one will be very revealing.

There isn't going to be an answer because the question is purely inflammatory and serves no other purpose. You may protest otherwise but we all know what you're about.
Lawrie has provided you with an honest answer, which is far more than you deserve because you would never have the courage to do such a thing. It wouldn't surprise me if the medical profession themselves used the term "methers" or "alkies" at least in private. What they'd call you defies the imagination and probably the dictionary as well.
