It really is quite simple Mid. I think it is wonderful that you wish to champion Coates' defense. Personally I do not think any post I have made is libel. Even you have hedged your position by saying "could be construed as libelous" If Coates thinks he has a case against me then he should present it in a court of law. Until he does that ... well ... I am not going to stop pointing out what I consider to be wrong!
