There is nothing wrong with publishing your opinion. There is nothing wrong in engaging in reasoned, responsible discussion. There is nothing wrong in displaying passion towards a chosen point of view. You'll notice that I have very, very carefully chosen my words.

Actually, you'd be surprised how effective a well chosen jab from a lance might be at the sweeps (think branch in the spokes of a wheel). Perhaps someone should have told that Spanish bloke or have I completely knackered this analogy?
