      I don't care how important you think you are or how self-righteously indignant you feel, if you want me to pay attention to you and address your criticisms, you will need to approach me politely and make them in terms that are reasonable, informed, relevant and coherent.

      OK, we all know that isn't strictly true and that I will frequently engage with a slathering loon who has trouble stringing a sentence together while you all yell at me. But, in principle, I reserve the right not to engage rude or unreasonable people.

          Dear honorable Helen, why do you endorse radical ideas such as discourse, courtesy, research, mindfulness, consideration. Disagreement has no place in our society. Please keep these hateful tactics to yourself. Thank you and have a lovely day.

          My template for insulters: Your insults don't prove to readers anything at all about the person you're insulting, but they do prove something about you: you seem to prefer to promote hate rather than engage in objective, rational debate.

          You know my initial comment was said sarcastically right? And the response from wenjie or whatever the name is I didn’t know if it was also sarky or who it was directed at, so you seem a bit rattled by something nothingy

          Do you think West Ham should play an out and out striker with Arnie behind in order to score more goals from open play or should they leave it alone? Please. Polite and coherent, or slavering lunacy?
