Missed it entirely - so pure supposition on my part -
But I can rest easy knowing that the good members of SD will have responded in a polite, erudite manner and allowed open debate on differing views. Thus, whilst unlikely to materially sway such an apparently entrenched opinion, it will have -
1. Demonstrated we do not conform to the 'Red Neck' thug image that makes it so easy to stereotype/ denigrate us all
2. Added strength to our criticism of emotive hyperbole issued by the 'otherside'.
3. Removed the possibility of silly & reckless comments being properly attributable to our 'position'
4. Struck a small victory for the position that all decisions of a political nature tend to be much better founded on fact and calm consideration than hearsay, mob mentality and 'necessity' ( in terms of William Pitt's assertion )
Thank goodness we got that rather than the alternative. A situation of which we can all be proud...
Right guys? .... er Guys? ..... hello?
Signed hope to be proved wrong of Moray
