However, he has not limited his comments to these groups alone. A sample of his views can be seen from a story he wrote that appeared in the Sunday Independent of 11 April 2004:

Describing the quote as "his views" is clearly untrue. It's a literary technique called sarcasm. Here's another sample from the same column: "We should let them at each other and not intervene and then when we feel bad about it afterwards, we should flagellate ourselves for our sins, and get the guilts about it in perhaps 10 years' time." jnestorius(talk) 00:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Intro

message: Hi 86.43.176.94 - I recently made some changes to the article in the above areas but noticed that you had reverted these. I believe this was incorrect but wished to get your view before making any amendments.
The article originally described the TV show as short-lived. However, as the programme ran for four seasons I believe this is inaccurate and reworded it accordingly, also including a citation. The original article also indicated that O'Connor appeared on the programme, whereas he was actually one of the three principal performers. It seems as if you deleted these changes.
Further in the article I requested a source for the comment: "His writing has been described as shallow, bipolar and at times racist. Irish political magazine." The citation request seems to have been deleted.
Later I provided some contextual information about the death of the model, Katy French, with a relevant source. However, it appears as if you have deleted this. 
Perhaps you can clarify why made the above changes. Thanks in advance  Fbell74 (talk) 08:49, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The request for a Third Opinion made in reference to this request has been removed because Third Opinions, like all forms of mediated content dispute resolution at Wikipedia, require thorough discussion here on the article talk page as a prerequisite. If the other editor does not respond to your discussion request, consider the advice I give here. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 14:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand - it takes two to tango. I'll follow the steps you suggested and go from there. Thanks for the guidance Fbell74 (talk) 06:03, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
