For somebody who didn't mention Hamilton anywhere in his reply, you sure managed to mention him, erm, twice.

Oh dear. You post was made of comments and a question. You said

Answering your question I did not mention Hamilton. Where I mentioned Hamilton was to your comments. I really cant not see why you have a hard time seeing this.

In your opinion its distasteful. I dont mind it. I dont have a problem with that. We just differ on this point. Nice to see you resort to name calling, very mature of you.

Err, thats not what you said in your post though was it?
You said

“Massa's main job was to undermine Hamilon both in the car and out of it and, to some extent, he probably succeeded but if that's how Massa wants to spend his time in F1, rather than trying to win races, I don't have a lot of respect for him.”
You have now changed your mind, to saying Massas job was to help Alonso (something I pointed out to you). I am sure Massa wouldnt have had a problem with Hamilton, if Hamilton hadnt decided to run into him a few times first. Its true some of the later collisions were Massas fault, however Hamilton started the whole thing. Yes I am aware of mind games. I dont think you like people questioning you, or pulling you up on the crap you sometimes spout. You either post some really good well thought out posts, or some total rubbish. You hardly ever post something in the middle.
Thats twice you have resorted to name calling, well done. One of Hamiltons quote springs to mind, "I must be doing something right, if they are booing me" I must be doing something right, if you have resorted to name calling

I'm simply pointing out that Alonso didn't go to McLaren as a #2 driver so it's a bit silly to suggest that's the only reason a young upstart upset him so much.”
Hmm, the team was always behind Hamilton. He was Rons 'baby', Ron never said a bad word against him. There was no way the team were not behind him. Part way through the season Alonso got fed up with it and pulled the pit lane stunt. After that Mclaren just went public with the fact. You think Alonso pulled that stunt, because the team were giving him equal treatment? No, he pulled that stunt as he was fed up with being treated like a second class citizen. I dont agree with what Alonso did, but there was a reason why he did what he did.

Maybe you think that being a fan of somebody means never admitting they're wrong and, thus, never being forced to consider that they're not perfect?
Hamilton certainly DID do some dumb things last year.
However, he was also a victim of circumstance on some occasions last year too.
Having said that, I've managed to put last years controversies behind me and I'm just enjoying this years racing and I'd suggest you try and do the same. 
Unless, of course, you're a Massa fan. In which case I'd suggest you stock up on hankies.

Not a dogma, not sure why you getting stuck up on that. I am a Schumacher fan, so understand full well that although he makes mistakes I am still a fan. You on the other hand, think Hamilton doesnt. Infact this is the first time you have actually said that he has done some dumb things last year. Well done, see that does feel better now.

No driver has ever gone through a career and not made mistakes. Go on admit that the Maldonaldo incident this year was also dumb of Hamilton (dumb in the sense, that he should have let Maldonado pass) ...go on admit it, it will make you feel better.
I think I have said quite a few times I am a Schumacher and Vettel fan. I like Massa, wish him well, and hope he can finish on the podium this year. In much the same way I like DiResta and Kobiyashi, although both of them have gone of the boil this year. Also like Webber and Raikkonen, ,mainly for the same reasons both have a ce la vie attitude. Refreshing to see in F1.
If I need hankies, I wont bother asking you, as a Hamilton fan I am sure you ran out of them last year.
