Re: Theymos can you explain your reasoning on merit allocated on a political basis.
I await qwk to also tell if if all points where he has put "opinion" if he refutes or supports that opinion.
In most cases, I simply couldn't care less and have no measurable opinion of my own 
I was just pointing out where you don't follow your own requirement of a "fact" based post.
Opinions are by definition not facts.
Please edit your post so I can see which ones need full attention first. Because the ones if there are any you agree with are those I can leave until later.
I don't usually edit my posts (well, tbh, I actually often edit them within the fist minutes of posting, to fix typos etc.).Actually qwk if you disagree whilst I am away could you say if you disagree and why you do. So that I know what I can do to assist you to see it in a reasonable and objective way. Or that you may assist me to change my own opinions
I never felt compelled to change someones opinion.If we disagree, we disagree, I'm okay with that.
As long as there's a respectful exchange of ideas, I'm a happy cat.
