Mr. Ahern, I only asked you one question and the question ... I gave you two quotes just to show a trend in this here and I asked you one question, I says your statement talks about being able to interact, to listen, to respond to views, proposals and criticism. Could it not be a fair person's viewpoint that this wasn't just you being positive but you were actually trying to close down criticism by calling them "merchants of doom" and so on?
