[quote="BarbaraJ"][quote="EvilZak"][ I have no idea what Barbara's talking about when she mentions "threats of violence or stalking", unless she considers taking signatures at his conferences to be "stalking" - This has been an entirely civil campaign. I actually managed to talk to Tony personally about the issue, and it was a discussion with no bad feeling on either side - although getting him to commit in writing to some of the things he said in person has been difficult...[/quote] Good. You haven't got a clue about Harry's agenda - even though you've read it on here. Clearly. Tony has no problem, at all. Nor have I. Threats of violence - do you want the now cleared threats from Harry's blog? Shall we start with this one: "The right question is not where's my Aston hatchet job; it's, where's yours? So don't get cute with me Jacobs or I'll kick your arse in an entirely non-metaphorical manner."[/quote]
