I'm amazed that you're flabbergasted, if you had read much of the writing on this site, you would see that although it is a pro european site in general, we, between us have spent a large ammount of time considering eurosceptic positions and publications. Much Eurosceptic writing is indeed unworthy of consideration, in that it is characterised by lunatic nationalism, circular arguments, and argument aimed at moving towards a pre-aranged position, rather than arguing from observations and facts. (To me a lot of euroscepticism seems to be like a particularly cultish religion)

To say that we are akin to book burners, because we aren't bowing down before the Idols of a lunatic cult is particularly insulting

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Vigorous debate isn't fun any more, DOCM? :-)

(I must admit the notion that I'm a Nazi because I consider the Daily Telegraph to be a Eurosceptic newspaper has me smiling).

DOCM:

For the record, I post for an audience wider than the responses that I get. It is up to that audience, if there is any, to come to its own opinion.

The responses you got are pretty much typical of the audience of this site.

DOCM:

You take it upon yourselves to qualify some sources as "eurosceptic" and, therefore, to be unworthy of consideration.

As highlighted by ceebs above, we have seen a lot of Eurosceptic "material" and we generally don't find it worth of much consideration, if any. You may of course have a different opinion and it is indeed your prerogative.

DOCM:

Why not organize a book-burning while you are at it?

As you know very well, nobody mentioned anything close to book burning whatsoever.
As afew went into great lengths explaining the site operation to you, you are welcome to express your opinions and engage in a debate with other members, if you wish to do so.

However, you might want to check the attitude.


Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

The reasoning in these responses leaves me flabbergasted.
