Oh mercy. This is one for the archives - to be filed under the heading
BIGOTRY.

I wonder if Bartek, whom he was addressing, would like to take this chance
to tell him to shut up. Something like "You do yourself no favours at all,
give it a rest" would seem appropriate enough if a full rebuttal is out of
the question.

If not, I've analysed those two sentences and they alone provide ample
evidence of intolerance and bigotry and explain why he is lambasted by so
many critics.

1. "feral" = of or characteristic of wild animals. He uses it as an insult
to half the country - the half he can't abide
2. "The west" is mentioned twice, baring his sickening agenda to all and
probably attempting to recruit east coast followers of a similar persuasion
(not that there are any)
3. He is stating that to his mind our west of Scotland contributors are not
welcome here
4. That is attempted segregation, is akin to apartheid and is not acceptable
in decent society
5. The "gang" he speaks of are not bound by geography by any stretch of his
imagination - every decent human being laments his kind of input

Now, some may say just ignore it. I've ignored 99.6% of his input (he made
about 60 posts today alone, rendering the group unreadable) but someone has
to let him know it's not on.

Are we all united against bigotry or do some find it somehow acceptable?

Brushing it under the carpet and saying more than one person causes it won't
wash this time. No one does that and if they ever did I'd say exactly the
same to them as I would to him.

Anyone disagree? Have I got it all wrong?
