So Nigel and I have decided neither to link to it, or react to the Daily-Mail adjectivisation and talk of 'traitors' and all the other alt-reality hate speech there. <br /><br />Let's note what you wrote:<br /><br /><b>John Howland on January 17, 2018 at 7:05 pm said:</b><br /><i>Of course, the genie is out of the bottle and we all know what these people are up to. That said, I’ve offered [Mr] Barford a link to my blog, provided of course he conducts himself in an educated, civil, and well-mannered way. Any of his usual histrionics, insults, or failing to raise his debate above that of an uncultured Russian peasant trying hard to be an academic, and he gets the Bum’s Rush. He lacks manners and self-control. I hope he will control his demons and act accordingly.</i><br /><br />Well, on my own blog, I do not have to worry about not conforming to the Howland-household standards of 'well-mannered' in the face of your <i>ad personam</i> nonsense about me. And really with people of the calibre of Dick Stout, James Fielding and Peter Tompa advertising your blog, surely you have no need of an 'uncultured Russian [um, I live in Warsaw] peasant trying hard to be an academic' to spread the word further. I mean it is not as if you have ever actually come up with any form of substantive arguments that would interest the average reader of this blog. Should you achieve that - which I sincerely doubt you can - I will link to them and discuss them. <br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-22261326509316084422018-01-17T10:49:55.930-08:002018-01-17T10:49:55.930-08:00Why don't you add my blog as a link.Why don't you add my blog as a link.John Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752752229384757087noreply@blogger.com
