PS. If you managed to take some time out from waging your personal vendetta, you might actually notice that we agree on this issue more than we disagree. But I wouldn't expect that to register through the vitriolic haze of your deluded paranoia.
PPS. Might I suggest that we remove this into PMs or email rather than pollute these boards further with our disagreement? I'm happy to discuss the issues in this thread, but should you wish to continue to name-calling and personal attacks, then it's better done in private.
Oh yeah, Starfly. I forgot to mention. Me 'n' Earthwhirler are off to see her stepfather who's just suffered a massive stroke and coronary and is about to have his arm cut off by the doctors before he's even regaind conciousness. As a consequence, I have far more important things on my mind than bickering with you, so you'll doubtless forgive me if I don't get the chance to respond to your next unprovoked attack for a little while.
You just can't pull your head out of your ass for five seconds, can you? You clearly haven't read and understood everything I've said, because firstly, I was in no way smug.... and I think I;m better placed to be the judge of that, thank you. Secondly, I was actually agreeing with 90% of what you said, so I don't really see what there was to be smug about. Thirdly, I was never dismissing your personal experiences. I've said that at least twice now, but you still don't seem to be accepting it, so I can only assume that you prefer to read into my words whatever suits your own agenda. Then why start throwing around insults? You clearly prefer conflict, so I'm sure we can look forward to plenty more of it. Going to go and do important stuff now. Bye.
