    Appears to have inherited his father’s talents, certainly a ‘chip of the block’

    “Appears to have inherited his father's talents...”. Or lack thereof. Is anyone in that family capable of actually reading before they tweet?

    What a little ****. Personally I suspect malice rather than stupidity.

    Also, I see the phantom downvoter is still stalking the site. If you have something to say then say it, don't hide behind the vote buttons like a coward.

    It’s not exactly rocket science. Who on the balance of probabilities, uses multiple aliases and corresponding logins? Who promotes sophistry to hide behind his anglophobia? In short, who will engage in any and all dishonest practices to prop up his long lost cause?

    Argentina has deep differences with the UK over the South Atlantic but Argentina has deep overlaps with the UK for the conception of life, secularism, individual freedoms and culture. In this clash of civilizations, between the West and Islam, Argentina must be an ally of the United Kingdom

    I doubt the Phantom Downvoter is Think, multiple login capabilities notwithstanding, since a) he never has any problems telling posters he disagrees with them and b) I suspect he probably thinks it's beneath him.

    I can think of other, more likely candidates, but I honestly have no idea. Personally I think it's funny anyone would bother. Some people have waaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

    I don't think it is Think either as he revels in his villain character. I have no doubt about one candidate who was slightly obsessed with the - and + when they were added and vowed to use them beyond their intended purpose. The person is that petty and senile.

    Your last sentence leaves me in little doubt whom you mean. 'Nuff said...

    I can easily believe he would vote you down, and me as well. But would he really be voting up Think & Voice? It seems that anyone who posts supporting Britain is getting downvoted today.

    @pgerman
    Thanks. IMO Argentina and the UK are vastly closer in terms of values than the Middle Eastern countries.

    I think, yes. He used to foam at the mouth about me and you. His behaviour was beyond rational. I remember when the + & - first appeared he was deeply upset when his abhorrent views were downticked by many people. I may have challenged his views but I can only vote once. Also, the timing of the flurry of downticks is about the times he used to post.

    Of course, I could be wrong; I was once. :)
