Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Your tone is unnecessarily hostile.  

If you want have a genuine debate about issues then you can't attack and insult people for showing signs of not agreeing with everything you say.

Have you read others' diaries or engaged elsewhere on the site, taken time to get to know people and get an overview of the issues people discuss?  Or are you purely trying to push your own agenda out regardless of the fact that this is a community that thrives on and learns through the wider interactions we have with each other?

Strangely, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the author.  I'm not debating anything.  I just think the delivery is confusing and -and I even allowed for the possibility that this is entirely unintentional - offensive.
