Royal Navy Caribbean Patrol about to start on CH5....

An open forum is a forum, I had assumed, in which one could voice an opinion along the lines of "freedom of speech" - a freedom I fight for in a professional capacity.

you have voiced an opinion and so have others so what's your problem or is a forum only friendly if everyone on it agrees with the first thing you say?

Farewell. I'm off to a more friendly bar where open debate is welcomed and enjoyed. I won't be returning. I think I have made my point nonetheless.

I think probably the only point you have made is that you in fact don't welcome open debate because you are running away from it
