Amid much debate about speculation, facts, opinion, expertise and so on within this thread, I thought it might be worth offering a reminder about balance and perspective.
Around 230 people have posted here (yes, I’ve
actually counted them). Almost a quarter of the 1500 or so posts have come from just 3 of the contributors, and over half have come from as few as 18 contributors.
I have no objection to free-speech and I completley believe in the right of everyone to their opinion, but please don’t let’s think for one moment that this thread is balanced, broadly-based or representative of the views of more than a very small group of individuals.
P.S. The only flack that I feel would be justified as result of this post would be that which points out how sad, workshy and/or anal I must be to have counted all these posts !!
