    Surely you can appreciate that after last week's referendum result, there are no foregone conclusions...
    I would not take anything I read on the journal too seriously...
    May be you would like to take some time to read some opinion pieces in the Belfast Telegraph and then share your comments with us on the merits or otherwise of the Ashers appeal...?
    Politicians north and south (with a few exceptions) are speaking with one voice on this issue. Perhaps you hadn't noticed.

    As for the Journal, this isn't about an opinion piece the Journal has written, it's about a poll with over 14000 responses. Perhaps you don't consider that worth taking seriously, but I think many others would.

    I wonder why you would choose to make yourself appear so foolish as to cast aspersions on what you believe I may or may not know about current affairs in Britain and Ireland... A most dangerous assumption considering how little you know about me...

    BBC Newsnight ran a piece recently on why and how the pollsters got it so wrong in the recent UK general election. So not sure why we should pay any particular attention to this survey. Has it been reported on in any main stream media outlet on this island?

    ''Dangerous assumption!!!'' Good man yourself. All the best getting that pole out of your ass.

    Read the OP again. Slowly if it helps. This is an online poll with over 14000 responses. Only a quarter of those responses favoured criminalising the buying of sex, a view very much at odds with political opinion north and south. End of story.

    It's very curious that your posting style is so similar to a well know escort, where your reply has only the slightest connection to the post you quote. And a failure to deal in an adult way with any point made that does not fit with your immature and closed minded view of the world. Though in Kate's defence, she does refrain from the petty insults...

    Don't forget I'm not a real person, merely an anonymous username on your screen...

    1 out of 2, David. Why on earth would you conclude I am paranoid? Go and check your dictionary and then come back to me...
    As for ridiculous? I would have to agree. I feel I fit right in here
    Keep the petty insults coming, I'm enjoying it
    I appreciate your use of the capital letters, your meaning may have escaped me otherwise

    Perhaps you can explain your thinking here?

    What is your problem? I've only just read this thread and I'm wondering what your gripe is and why you would be behaving like this? David can write what he likes and how on earth is he writing in a similar style to me? If you are implying that he was influenced by me in anyway then I'm mystified as I would write it myself if I had anything to say on this matter.

    If you have a problem with me, would it not be better to send a private pm to resolve the matter rather than start picking on my posts, or anyone you associate with me and being sarcastic and patronising?

    If we're talking about maturity I think perhaps you should look at yourself first.

    How conceited to imagine I have a problem with you Kate.
    I simply observed David's inability to respond to any point I made in a constructive and intelligent way. Instead he chose to waffle on with his predetermined ideas. He has clearly decided what he thinks and is now casting around for evidence to support his point of view. He is either not interested, not mature enough or intellectually unable to deal with anyone who raises a challenge to his opinion. And I'm sorry to say that his posting style reminded me of yours. But don't let a straight forward answer get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. I do not at all imagine that you are putting up other members to post your ideas. You are certainly well able to post your own thoughts.

    In the current context I find it bizarre that you would challenge my maturity given the failure of others on here to engage with any of the points I have made. Though in another environment, a bit of immaturity can be jolly good fun. You should try it sometime

    You're certainly full of yourself I'll give you that. No-one responded to your 'points' on this thread because they were irrelevant to the topic and I was personally embarrassed for you.

    No need for conspiracy theories when you post stuff like this:

    ''It's very curious that your posting style is so similar to a well know escort.''

    and you then run away when challenged on it. I have no idea what your problem with Kate is, but you might want to grow up and get over it, as it's just sad to watch.
