Ok, here's what Wayne said: "First I have heard of it, probably just the Sun trying to stir up trouble again - it's far from a serious newspaper, in fact in the UK "sun reader" is actually a derogatory term equivalent to calling someone stupid."
Now, where did Wayne say that all sun readers were stupid? I didn't see an "I think" or "I believe" or anything that implied that this was his view. So yes, your attack was unfounded just as my attack was unfounded.....mine was purposefully unfounded though. Unfortunately that was lost on you.
