So my two soundbites, originally offered many minutes apart as part of an 'on the one hand this but on the other hand that' response, were offered much closer together and only offering the negative perspective. There haven't been any death threats, but I've had some pretty terse observations on the piece as a whole and my role in it.

I won't be suing

Oct 20th if you don't believe this anecdote
AF, please stop with the ‘if you don’t believe this anecdote’ stuff. I’ve challenged your anecdotes two or three times, the two I remember being about false passports and flag pole ‘hijacking’ where you live. They didn’t ring completely true and you went on to accept that both were either flawed or enormously exaggerated. It’s not like I accuse you of lying all the time or doubting all your stories.
I don’t, but if we’re going to have worthwhile exchanges, which I think the BBC ones have been, then let’s ditch the self pity. It’s a forum. You and I are more likely to disagree - politically - than agree but that doesn’t mean I never believe you.
