Tell that to folk like Expatkiwi and Zan, GR. They might disagree with you there...
Expat received his explanations too...

...as for Zan I've lost count how many times.
No offense, GR, but you did threaten Expatkiwi, plus you have gone out of your way to ridicule and discredit him. He as much said that you were simply incapable of having a dispassionate debate with. Judging from the various posts you have made, there is a degree of truth to that. In my e-mail communications with him, he has spoken about an "illogical Greek antipathy to dissenting opinions". Don't you think your responses to him don't do anything more than reinforce that view?
Read the thread when you've got the time and find out why...

I've read it. I also noticed that you started that thread under that title... evidentally before you found out that he was indeed a New Zealander. You waved a red flag to a bull, GR. You think he was not going to answer that challenge? A misniformed foreigner is one thing, but you accused him of being an agent provocateur.
