Not at all. He's quite right in saying that Guy Cuthbertson and I are different people, and that The Todal and I are one and the same. (There's a post of his from the other night which I still need to refute...it was so wrong in so many ways that I couldn't summon the energy at the time!)

Now please stop interspersing Tony's posts with abuse, since he's made it very clear that that upsets him. If he says something that's wrong then you'll just have to let it go unchallenged: that's what he expects (and what he gets most of the time in URCM at the moment, which is presumably why his defence of the current "moderation" is almost as staunch as you-know-who's.)
