What an arrogance! As far as many, (most) are concerned, social fora' s 
purposes never had anything to do with this very British and particular 
"stop the war coalition", never were created (i mean Brazil, Porto 
Alegre) to supplant this or that particular thing...

Let's not bite back, it's such a ludicrous thing it does not even 
deserve commenting, Dave. Anyway, i will ask someone i know for their view.
