If *I* made a "childish analogy" then perhaps we can discuss it in non black and white terms like, well, "childish analogy".

I maintain that a revote would not "be a massive betrayal of the democratic system and yet more proof of Europe sliding away from the principles of western democracy" because "we" (the US) revote all the time. Just because Brexit was "presented" as a the "end all be all vote and this time we mean it" doesn't mean that the actual circumstances of implementing it have made it out to be awful.  And I'm not even saying that it is.  I'm saying that there is a knee-jerk reaction from some that they vote and now we can't do a damn thing about it. At all.  Except find a way to force the square peg into the round hole and blame the people who voted for it.

I changed my sig...like it better? 

It was not a personal attack. It was pointing to the non-correlation of the argument.  Now if someone were suggesting Boris Johnson should be Prime Minister for life because he supports Brexit then, like your head, you'd have a point (that was personal attack, see the difference?) No one is even saying once they exit the EU they cannot apply for reentry at a later date if the citizenry voted to do so and then I would hope their government would support the wishes of the people.

The Brexit move has nothing to do with our cyclical elections of political figures and I would hope you'd know that; therefore be embarrassed for making such a correlation.
