I ALWAYS enjoy George Cowley's contributions even if I fail to agree with what he writes.

Obviously, not everyone appreciates George but I cannot help noticing the intolerance, vehemence and sarcasm displayed towards him by critics who themselves rarely have anything constructive to contribute.

George obviously derives pleasure from writing and certainly gives pleasure to others so why not leave him alone? Don't be discouraged George.
