See my above post.
Just needed the last word didn't you?See my above post.
Ditto
You really typed that?I don't understand this Hamilton hate. He is currently (arguably) the best in the world and he is British. Are you sure it's not because he is black?
Yes! Are you going to reply to it?You really typed that?
Just because I don’t particularly like a sports person who happens to be black does not mean I don’t like them BECAUSE they are black. To immediately assume this just shows a lack of intelligence on your part I’m afraid. Skin colour has no influence on me no more than if a person has blond or ginger hair, is short or is extremely tall. It’s the person underneath the skin that is important.I don't understand this Hamilton hate. He is currently (arguably) the best in the world and he is British.

I find that post insulting in the extreme and as you insulted me in public I believe you should apologise in public. We are a non aggressive site and that post was very aggressive To say that I lack intelligence suggests that you do not know me at all. At the last test my IQ was 140.Just because I don’t particularly like a sports person who happens to be black does not mean I don’t like them BECAUSE they are black.

I think Hamilton is a touch too arrogant rather than being a confident person, I don’t like the fact he supports a Marxist organisaction who wish to overthrow capitalism and defund the Police and I didn’t like the way he deliberately forced a rival to crash during a race.
There is not a racist bone in my body and I resent your implication actually.
It was addressed generally. I have no problem with agreeing with him to disagree on Hamilton or any other subject. You and I have had our own disagreements in the past but, in my opinion, still remain friendly. ODB does not seem to be able to have a disagreement without making it personal. That is not what we started this forum for. It was started to encourage friendly discussion.Al imo your first post does infer that you were addressing the question to ODB.
I must say whilst I respect Hamilton's ability in a racing car I'm no great fan of Formula 1, in fact I find it so boring that it's overtaken test cricket as sports best antidote to insomnia. I'm an even less fan of Hamilton himself. Something about him that I simply can't take to.
In the meantime I recommend you both agree to disagree about Lewis Hamilton. These sort of keyboard spats usually become a mountain out of a molehill and end in tears one way or another.

ODB insulted my intelligence and I believe I am due an apology for that.
I've told you I wasn't addressing you personally and I am disappointed that someone on this forum has such an aggressive attitude to discussion/argument. I do not propose to take any action, we try not to do that here, but I would be obliged if you would not reply to any of my posts in the future. I do not wish to enter into any further discussions with you.“Are you sure it's not because he is black? ”
You accused me of racism, there will not be an apology coming from me.
The molehill is becoming a hill!In the meantime I recommend you both agree to disagree about Lewis Hamilton. These sort of keyboard spats usually become a mountain out of a molehill and end in tears one way or another.
It was never a molehill as far as I was concerned. I was very insulted.I repeat...
The molehill is becoming a hill!
See private conversation.Your error was insinuating I am racist, I find that insulting.
What does “I do not propose to take any action” mean anyway?
