"In the first instance you mean stopping the war against Iraq, in the second you mean the impact of the action in stopping fuel supply."
In the second instance I meant in changing Government policy. Although I disagreed with the previous blockade, I disagreed about its aims, not its methods.

Since you call me mad, then I admit I am getting a little bit angry at your continual misrepresentation of what I say to score personal points rather than address the arguments.
And I feel less inclined not to call you a pious hypocritical pedant.
Supporting the strike unreservedly is not the same as not caring if people die in fires. It is acknowledging that fact in your consideration and moving beyond it, which you confess you cannot do consistently.
And yes, they are risking lives by not doing something, and I would be risking lives by doing something. The core point is about risking lives and there the analogy holds (if they were exactly the same it wouldn't be an analogy would it).

An apology

I didn't call you "mad". I apologise unreservedly for the fact that my post clearly gave that impression. I often use the word "mad" as an exclamation of confusion. There's no way you could have know that, so it's entirely "my bad".
Again. Sorry.

The rest of my post was a frustrated response to being called mad ( and I only implied insult !).
We should start again by agreeing what the argument is and where we differ - do you want to try and summarise or will I ?

So that was a technical glitch rather than a problem between your seat and your keyboard ?
Apples may be crap but at least they look lovely.
