"You can hang outside and piss around the issue of racism which he did not accuse your favorite columnist of"

a) I'm no fan of Dreschel. On the contrary, I think he's a terrible journalist and a pretty mediocre writer to boot. Nevertheless,

b) "Your aversion to coloured people shines right through here my friend."

In Mahesh's second post, he defined "aversion" to mean "a feeling of repugnance" or "settled dislike". Please, please, will someone tell me how the heck this isn't an accusation of racism? Or do I have to link to the dictionary definition of repugnance?

It's not like it's some petty insult. If Dreschel's column said Mahesh thought white people were repugnant, would you be singing the same tune?

c) He didn't "force the gates" of anything open. He wrote, as I said, a petulant letter. I'm sure the Spec is quaking in their boots.
