Pooley, you are being overgenrous there, and I suspect you know it.

Geoffrey comes on and says wind-up things and refuses to explain or defend. When asked to do so cuts and pastes a Wiki page and then insults people, then says 'ooh I was about to answer properly, honest, but now you said something that sounded a bit harsh so I won't after all', then comes back on with some more of the same codswallop, crowning it with the 'you lot are all really sad for wasting your time like this' stance of the classic troll (who is, of course, in no way sad for coming on to the same board and being its least engaged contributor).

Everyone says flip things once in a while, but they should revise that when they've had chance to think it over. Someone who can only go 'look over there' while doing the stuff listed above has no value on a forum and is a troll and an arse.

Ok, Merrick, when I calm down...and compose myself, I will try an communicate, on the subject of this thread, in a more effective manner.
Rightly or wrongly, I felt I was being goaded into defining "Thatcherism" (and not my "definition" of Thatcherism...that came later). I have to say that given the strength of feeling about Thatcher, itself the subject of this thread, I could not conceive that anyone would not know exactly what Thatcherism was...hence my "cut'n paste".
I thought further, ok, I'll play along with the further questioning...and then I was interrupted by "Stray's" post, which just seriously fucked me off.
Anyway, if you'll think I am a "troll"...and I had to check what that meant...then I must seriously sense-check what I post in the future. If I thought that's how I was coming over...that would cause me more concern that it's causing you (all).
