i made a point about the futile waste of focus and pointless misdirected sense of achievement gesture political symbolism like pulling down statutes gives people, in comparison to dealing with the actual serious problems themselve
so far you've talked about parades, made pedantic points on terminology, and now seem to be intent on ad-hominen face-saving. What you're not doing is saying anything pertinent to the point I made or making any counterargument. It's just dull, beni. I'm not infallible, but it'd be nice once in a while to have someone capable of responding to the actual point.
Now reading between the lines (the counterpart to accusing me of not knowing anything about Bristol is that in contrast, you do know it intimately) my guess is that you were personally somehow involved in this statue campaign, and by pointing out it's cosmic fucking pointlessness, I'm attacking something that hitherto you've taken some sort of unwarranted sense of achievement out of. I know that as you've basically reached the name-calling part of the debate it's not something you're likely to confess. But I suspect I'm right

well, it is true that you don't go out seeking arguments with me
and it must be going on a year since I had a decent rant on b3ta. so sorry that I picked your post in particular. I think there was some merit in the wider point I was making about such gestures which is why I said it, but it seems you're only interested in the details of the colston case you posted and I guess that's your prerogative
