TL;DR.
Just to sum up the main points in nice bullet points.
1. People complain like **** about other dodgy marketing ideas. Hence, the creation of this topic we're posting in RIGHT now, back in 2009. So, you can also stop the stuff about this going on for "seven pages" because you CLEARLY haven't looked back at the topic at all. Unless we're somehow magic and predicted this would happen back in 2009.
2. Fairly sure I never called the general public "idiots". So, yeah. Again, putting words in my mouth.
3. Having an opinion that something is wrong, is not a deliberate attempt to be moral. I oppose the Holocaust, doesn't mean I only do so so I can be seen as moral. Other people tire of you UC, not because they think you're right, but because they look at your posts and go "yeah, I've got like, stuff to do in my life, so, yeah..." Plus, it pretty much stopped in that other topic, BECAUSE IT CAME OVER TO THIS ONE.
4. UC, you claim I have nothing to support the fact *I* personally *think* that lying to the public via the national press is wrong. This clearly *subjective opinion* holds the same weight as your *subjective opinion* that lying is fine. Those that matter get it, those that don't, well, they'll spend their money, so... (and I thought it was my side of the argument that was insulting the GP...)
5. I'm not trying to "do" anything beyond express an opinion. You've taken umbrage to people having differnet opinions to you, and YOU keep dragging it out. Noone else, YOU. YOU are making it an issue here, not me. So, the question is what are YOU trying to get out of this?
6. When you've been caught lying by the Daily Mail, you know you've **** up.
