Any feelings of being overborne are from you who its herself there.

If I thought you weren't worth discussing with I assure you I would not still be here.

I am very sorry you feel that running with the crowd and being popular is worth being rude for. Is your self confidence so low that you have to be popular instead of objective and realising that there are too sides to every issue?
Are there really? I was beginning to think that there was only your side.

If you weren't so rude, antagonistic and patronising yourself it wouldn't detract from the fact that you do make some good points ... if it were discussion you were really after, and not just to bludgeon everyone over the head with your views and expect everyone to nod like a dumb donkey to massage your ego.
I admit, initially, before battle lines were drawn (by you) I quite enjoyed your posts.
I make no apologies for trying to discuss the very relevant and strongly supported other side. There are some serious consequences to Brexit which never seem to be aired...have you never thought about it or does it not fit in with the ethos here and you will be personally abused yourself? All for hiding in the pack, eh?
If you feel so strongly why don't you defend your POV with evidence instead of attacking me? I would be delighted if you would bring it on...but no one ever does.

When have I ever run whole threads dissing the UK? I can show you the one started that made fun of France as well as particularly nasty ones interspersed within other posts. Or personal references that were purely spiteful and done to achieve applause an strengthen the feelings of crowd approval.

I post here because I am interested in what you say when you are on topic...as an adult I expected the same courtesy.

If it were up to you there would be. You add very little in numbers of posts.

If you do not wish to have a discussion about Brexit why don't you just call th is part of the forum The Brexit Appreciation Society and All Dissenters are Unwelcome...ie forget freedom of speech...you can only be in here if you want too join the cheering gallery.
3) links may be opinion...many are facts.
and I would really appreciate it if you would point out where I have criticised (as opposed to disagreed with) those in here. If I had felt critical I would not waste my time being here. Disagreeing is not being critical. It is Discussing.
4) I have many subjects to discuss and do so in other parts of this site. That you only read this one is not giving a proper evaluation.
Finally I thought you didn't like experts. Now you at leaving it all to them.
I happen to be interested in the process since this is the first time in history something like his has happened and the constitutional legacy is very important.
I give very little time to the result...I care about the process and the future.
I gather you were not an English teacher, from the grammar on your posts!
However that is irrelevant, because I also find you have a condescending, patronising, overbearing attitude, so I am putting you on ignore. Just be careful though, because if lots of us do that, you will have nobody to argue with.
The excellent mods on here are the reason most of us moved here from your other site... so maybe you should go back there, if you don't like the ones here

I'll leave you to wallow in your own perceptions then .. or more accurately misconceptions and nor do I mean about Brexit. Shame, you're a good debater.

This forum is perhaps more lightly moderated than what you are accustomed to ... or maybe not, as your own posts evidence a growing tendency toward the rude insult carefully couched in the guise of delivering a lecture.
You merely receive in return what you yourself put out.

It's interesting to see how you draw attention to a post you dislike as it makes fun of France.
Perhaps there is hope for you.

What was it that Groucho Marx said, "Please accept my resignation, I don't want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member" ....

Small number of posts + high level of relevance = Good

Large Number of Posts + Lots of repetitive lecturing = bad.
