I salute his comic genius

I have sometimes disagreed with Terry Palmer's letters but I wish to say how much I enjoyed his contribution of May 4, a letter in which he seems to castigate those who '˜sneer at opposing views and insult people'.

This is the funniest offering I have seen in The Star for a long time and I salute his comic genius.

To those more cynical than myself who may see his letter as hypocrisy rather than humour I say shame on you.

Certainly I will never again be able to think of Mr Palmer without laughing, although on reflection it does occur to me that I never actually think about him at all.
