I have now realised that what makes it so difficult to have any kind of rational and meaningful debate with DAV007 (and now Alvin and a couple of others) is that, as Exile on Spencer St said, they inhabit a kind of parallel universe. In their universe, comparatively simple words take on a strange new meaning and are interpreted in ways that are incomprehensible to those of us in the real world.

I think that is why so many threads quickly degenerate into mud slinging when these people become involved. Those of us hoping for intelligent debate and discussion are constantly confounded by having our thoughts and words twisted to fit into that other universe.

Like most people on here, I have no problem at all with opinions that may differ from mine. But I do have a problem when my words, and the words of others, are twisted in an attempt to make them say what they never said.
