I'm not remotely shy, as it goes (nor autistic!). Simple truth is I don't like his views and had no desire to engage with him.

Of course it was, you nasty, pathetic oaf. Just for clarity - your observation was a poor one. I am not autistic so easy to shrug off, though I do take offence on behalf of friends who are, and whose children are, that you throw it around as a playground insult. Like I've said, if my demeanour...

Brilliant. We've met once, briefly in a pub in Lewes, when I stopped in for twenty minutes to collect something from a friend. You later (on line, rather than at the time, in real life) professed that I was 'wet' for refusing to drink more than one pint (as I was driving). Its an interesting...

Except that... We didn't SAVE Germany did we? Or Italy? Or Hungary? Or Bulgaria? Or Finland? Nor did we defeat those nations, on our own. Other European countries made equally big sacrifices. And it ignores the decisive American contribution And the Polish airmen and thousands of Irishmen and...
