    Comments: I find the failure of the South Wales Echo to stand up for the fundamental human right of freedom of expression to be offensive. Can I have an apology too please

    Comments: Green is well-known as a delusional bigot of the highest order. The Echo's decision to compromise its editorial policy to appease his frothing evangelism is disgraceful. Freedom of religion does not equate to the right never to be offended.

    Comments: Taking this sort of action because a minority group objects to a story sets a precedent that could see the paper devoid of content, or at least potentially controversial content, as every story will contain something to which one such group could object. What happened to the idea of the press as the moral conscience of the nation

    Comments: The Christian message may be a message of hope but the Christian Voice is the voice of hatred and despair. I have seen their street protests; they are merely a bunch of self righteous bullies. Concede this to them and they will come back again and again and again demanding more and more special favours. I advise an article taking a fair and balanced look at the content of their website.

    Comments: Apologising to censorious religious bigots like Stephen Green for causing offence sets a dangerous precedent. It’s not that I’m anti-religion –but I am against bigotry and unnecessary censorship.

    Comments: It is an important principle in order to maintain democracy that people have the right to hold different opinions and express them. This should be the role of the press, to facilitate the expresion of perspectives. Having an imaginary friend does not make you an exception. Will people registered as "Jedi" in the census now be able to call for the sacking of the writer of a bad review for the latest Star Wars cartoon

    Comments: to the editor of the Echo. Please grow up. Claiming offence cannot be used to stifle any discussion and critique of the patently ridiculous (and themselves highly offensive) ideas and moral posturing from a group of delusion followers of some 2000 old work of fiction.

    Comments: Having taken part in a BBC debate 'Does God Love Gays' chaired by local presenter Sarah Gorrell, and broadcast live on Southern Counties Radio, including both myslef and Stephen Green on the panel - I see no justification to apologise for the original article. Stephen Green when assessing his literal interpretation of biblical text should consider Jesus' words; (Mark 1; 16-17) "Come with me and be a fisher of men".
