"You seem to implying Nigel shouldn't be saying what he prefers as an option or that he shouldn't be entitled to express his opinion on the forum or indeed to EH. "
Where did I say, or imply, he shouldn't have an opinion? I said that the way he puts it, you would think his was the only opinion, or only one that was valid.
"Comments like "paranoia suits you" abound when you talk to Nigel and I'm just confused as to why you take such a confrontational attitude on this."
"So I guess I'm entitled to express an opinion, notwithstanding your attempts to discredit me."
Where and how did I attempt to discredit him? Just by asking who he was and what made his opinion the only valid one?
In another thread Nigel wrote "Yes it is, and it's wrong, and the archaeologists who look the other way in droves are active partners in it. Sod them all. Where's morality in public affairs? What sort of profession sees huge wrongdoing and keeps quiet about it?"
- who's sniping who? and first too! I'm just replying in a like manner....ok?
