There is a well known saying that when you attack someone's character rather than the point they're making, then you've already lost the debate. Especially when you don't even know who you're addressing! I notice a worrying increase in people being named by anonymous commenters on this blog, maybe to settle old scores more than anything else. Sad.<BR/><BR/>As for this post, Angus, I wonder how you can square it with your comment in an earlier post (Emergency meeting about windfarms),<BR/>"<I>Whatever the outcome in a few weeks time, both sides must be prepared to work together constructively in the aftermath, and if either side sits on the sidelines and sulks, then I they will face nothing but opprobrium from the public.</I>"<BR/><BR/>Is this post intended to be a start, or an example to those wishing to "work together constructively"?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-37168115541377673692008-02-06T08:11:00.000+00:002008-02-06T08:11:00.000+00:00Big Annie - would you employ her?Thats without loo...Big Annie - would you employ her?<BR/><BR/>Thats without looking at her CVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-48327187102394863922008-02-06T02:36:00.000+00:002008-02-06T02:36:00.000+00:00Once bitten twice shy Macneil is crapping himself ...Once bitten twice shy Macneil is crapping himself after the doing he got on the Lesley Riddoch show from Macsween and a Free Church minister.<BR/><BR/> Perhaps he should change his name to ANBM (Angus No Balls Macneil). <BR/><BR/>Our MSP could not attend the show as he was going to be at home in Selkirk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-78188812723870578322008-02-06T00:35:00.000+00:002008-02-06T00:35:00.000+00:00Anon 10.04Land of opportunity?
