I know in my previous post that I called you “selfish”, which may have come across as being too personal and/or a tad harsh…
Yes, it did.
Well done for fronting up and apologising, though.
No, why should I?:confused:
Apart from his lawyer, to whom you have referred, and the prison authorities and of course Mr Assange, no one knows the details of his detention – most certainly not Channel 4 news. And we might describe his lawyer as an “interested party”, mightn’t we?
We might indeed. But “interested party” isn’t synonymous with “liar”.
After all, the Swedish prosecutor is also an “interested party” (perhaps to a greater extent that we first thought, in the light of the story in this morning’s Telegraph).
Are you equally sceptical about what they say?

As Sweden is asking for him to extradited maybe they had the same concern?
Sweden appears to have her own reasons for wishing to quieten Mr Assange.
Of course none of this is political. :rolleyes:

A point of information concerning your first sentence. How do we know how he is being held inside Wandsworth?
It was clearly stated on Channel 4 News yesterday evening, both during the news item on the bail hearing and by his lawyer during an interview later in the programme.
Would you happen to have any evidence to contradict this?

Whatever he may, or may not, be he is currently being held (almost completely incommunicado) in solitary confinement for 23.5 hours a day despite not having even been charged with any crime, let alone tried and found guilty of one.
If he were a Burmese politician – or a Chinese artist – our Government (and that of the USA) would be demanding his release in the most forthright of terms, and we would all be nodding our heads in agreement.
What are we becoming? 🙁

Yet another clean-up. 🙁
Can we please stay on-topic, preferably while showing respect for one another? Is that really too much to ask?
As always, apologies to the sensible majority.
Thanks

You might very well think that.
I couldn’t possibly comment….. :diablo:

Mods, now may be an opportune time for a new thread? Over 20 pages, which is the limit these days isn’t it?
Given that the length of a thread in pages is actually dictated by the user setting for the number of posts to display on a page – this thread is only 17 pages long for me, for example – we prefer to use the limit of 1,000 postings.
At 661 posts, there’s plenty of life in this thread yet. 🙂

Fear not, Fedaykin!
The moderator team are already watching this thread with interest, as some individuals may discover to their disadvantage before very much longer.
It’s never too late to turn over a new leaf, though, so we live in hope.

….If someone simply get excited and write long irrational responses, it not trolling. Its a problem with that person…
When someone sets out with the intention of provoking and/or annoying other members then it IS trolling.
It isn’t tolerated in here, so don’t do it again. 😡
