What is breathtaking is that no British news medium seems to have given this any attention.

"Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition."

That is not an answer but an insult. If you don't accept that what I am saying is a fact, please show where it is not; and if you are charging me with racism, which is a commonplace reaction to this kind of statement, I don't see why you should bother remaining here. The notion that I don't deserve rational opposition is quite outrageous, and I suggest you come down from your wholly unwarranted superiority complex.

You are right and I apologise.

I was not intending to accuse you of racism, or indeed of anything-ism. On the other hand, I also do not intend to continue discussing anything with you because I feel as if it is a waste of my time (which is not valuable, I acknowledge, but is nonetheless precious to me). On the several occasions, however, when I have asked you to provide evidence for what you have said (without, incidentally, suggesting you are wrong), you have ignored me.

Trust me, I have nothing in the slightest resembling a superiority complex - I wish very much that I did! I am, almost certainly, ridiculously commonplace - at my very best!

I wish you nothing but the best, but as you feel that I should not "bother remaining here", I am capable of taking a hint :) Much love and good will to you always.

I am not English and I do not speak by way of hints and suggestions. When I said that I did not understand why you should wish to debate with someone you described as unworthy of rational debate, I meant exactly that. Personally I don't visit racist or Jew-bashing sites or blogs, save for exceptional instances; and if you had a reason to treat me as one, I would not expect you to wish to keep any contact. It was not a hint, it was a statement. I accept your apologies and hope the matter is closed.

I repeat my question: what kind of evidence would you accept that a "yuck" reaction in certain matters is instinctive to most people? "Evidence" on such a point can only mean polling seven billion people. On other issues I quoted plenty of evidence, not always, alas, on the side that suited you.
