[Margaret Pilkington]

I think the irritating bit is the fact that this memeber puts a one liner up with a link to some news/media source......and if by chance he does put more than that, his posts are without appropriate punctuation so the meaning is questionable. This may be a purposeful thing....if your meaning is unclear, you can always backtrack at some later point in the discussion.

I do not have any problems with someone holding differing ideological views, but this member is a pale version of a troll......posts contentiously to provoke a response.

This is just my personal opinion of the guy. You appear to be more gracious..perhaps it is grace lent by distance.
