Linking to another thread where you just post and run?
Not sure that warrants a "hooray".
Now unless things have changed dramatically here you'll abandon this thread whilst a couple of other people jump in on a tangent.

you havent got the first clue about the GFA
Your opinion is entirely led by whatever shit Kate Hoey has said that day. So we've gone from 'it's not in danger' to 'would it be so bad if it was in danger?' in the space of 2 months
Breathtaking stupidity really

Edit

You're free to doubt it but it's true.
Been in enough "debates" with Benny to see the trend.

that's no excuse to abandon being genuine for the sake of an egotistical 'win'
your argument should be able to withstand criticism on it's own rights, with or without your ego in tow.

Why do you always play the man instead of the ball?
You haven't addressed any of the points made in his opinion, merely claimed it to be someone else's.
You've also insulted the guy personally twice, for no apparent reason.
Have you ever actually managed to take a position which you support with facts without undermining your argument with fallacies and emotionally charged attacks on people? I'd be genuinely interested in a single example link where you have done so.

So, in summary,
No, you're not going to provide that link. Instead you make an oblique reference prior conversations you had (yet somehow unable to provide a link to), and a tacit insinuation that my lack of participation in that conversation somehow puts me at fault, yet again playing the man and not the ball.
Anyone else? Surely someone has witnessed Benny actually making a point, with supplied evidence, which he didn't tarnish with insults?

One man's tarnish is another's embellishment I guess

It's ok to admit defeat mate.
But there's an art to doing it gracefully.

>defeat
it's not a competition. three score and twenty if you're lucky and that's it. how about a bit of cooperation instead?

The thing is,
any attempt to find common ground is thwarted because he never seems to actually be interested in having a discussion.
He appears only to want to stick it to those he perceives as fascists, and receive a welcoming round of applause in response from an appreciative echo chamber.
I wasn't actually trying to defeat anyone, merely trying to coax something good out of him by pointing out its all been 100% ad hominem from him so far, and by inviting him to actually join in (since he appears to be so passionate about it all). He just did the same thing again, presumably intentionally to thumb his nose at the notion of debating properly, which I interpreted as essentially waving a white flag.

but if you encounter an on goning echo chamber
where everyone appears to be enjoying the circle jerk sometimes all you can do is throw in a hand grenade to see what's survived the shrapnel blast and observe from a safe distance whilst considering your next move. why the conflict? why is it so hard to help each other out with understanding? why so adversarial? ego? there appears to be a common goal in mind from all parties. *posted before your edit
