Steven - I try to be fair and friendly to everyone, within reason. In the unlikely event that I ever think you are correct in your SPGB-ism, I will happily acknowledge the fact. There are very many contradictions within 'anti-imperialism' - not least, the fact that empires have historically been the most effective destroyers of other empires. There are strong arguments to be made against making 'anti-imperialism' a matter of principle. But you are not making those arguments - you are just attempting to score points by setting up straw men and demolishing them. I dare say it gives you satisfaction, but I'm not sure why.
