Because he can and wants to.

I'm not going to disagree with anything you have said above, not because I agree, but because I can't be bothered to slag someone off that I don't know.

My question is, why do some people not want him to post and why do some resort to name calling just because he does not fall into a certain category?

You (not you personally) may not agree with how he posts or what he says, but he does usually have quite valid points. Yes, he can be quite negative, but so can the majority here aswell.

I have no problem with Derek posting here, just as I don't have problem with most people here. I do, however, have a problem with the continuous b****ing and slagging off that all of us tend to do. I think the gimp calling has also reached a level that it is not even funny anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it would be any fun if there were no argumentsand discussions, but I assume that we are all adults, or try to act like one so how come we cannot have a civilised discussion without resorting to playground antics...?
