That from a British oil trader to a Greenpeace volunteer after the oil traders kicked the shit out of a Greenpeace commando group who invaded the floor of the oil exchange.
If this wasn't reported in the Times of London I would have thought it was a joke.
one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.â€
Damn, I wish I had been there to see that one.

One wonders if perhaps the Poles' problem in World War II was that they were not "amenable to listening to the point of view" of the Nazis and Soviets.
