Seems to me Simon has made some very good points, in an articulate way and just because Huguenot has disagreed with him, he has torn into Simon as if he were some random internet troll It's all very well saying "fun at his expense" but it was well OTT and is the sort of thing that discourages people from joining in debate. Sometimes people are genuinely worth ripping into after protracted or stupid comments, but Simon isn't one of them by the looks of things On balance, I tend to come down on the same side as Huguenot re "should voting be mandatory" but that doesn't mean I can't hear the opposite viewpoint, especially when it's being well put
