Look; I do thank some of you for such kindness, even though I understand you are referring to a general principle in terms of the reference to me, you have mentioned me as a poster.

First off: I AM nowadays rather lacking in feelings-and intensely cynical for good reason. The only thing I've kept of who I used to be is a sense of humour. It is my sincere believe that that sense of humour has saved my life.
For all the lack of feeling some of these comments have touched me. I have fallen out with most of you and probably will again!! So;-I thank-you profoundly.

Secondly: when I checked the post history of the OP (I KNOW I distort tags. I'm not proud nor ashamed-I never do it for those I respect. So:-the OP),-to see what set he-she off;-I had to make the comparison with my own post history.
It struck me then that my posts to say the least are somewhat abrasive! Again, I am not proud or ashamed. It simply occurs to me that I can dish it out, so should not fall into a vapour if this kind of nastiness is directed at me, and besides;-as I said;-this is a forum comment, not one from a valued friend. So it's of little impact.

The OP has not returned to this thread. From that quarter there is hardly a timidity to tackle issues-the comment proves it. So, why? I can only guess. And my guess is (walking on eggshells),-that this is a deputised response. I won't elaborate because I can't prove it, and the OP would deny it anyway.....wouldn't you OP? But I have a fair idea where it REALLY came from. As I said- I'm a cynic.

I'm not justifying this you know. It isn't nice. And;....I hope I don't have to swallow my words, but I would never be so stinging about another poster. With perhaps one exception-now absent.

OK., that's it.

Dear Romany,

Thanks for pointing it out. I did misunderstand
the opening post. That's why my comment about
Boazy.

Dear Ginx,

I for one have always appreciated the honesty
in your posts, your sense of humour, and your
strong views. To my knowledge you've never
posted anything with a "malicious intent,"
and I dare say you never will.

I'm glad that you're back. And if I could I'd
give you a hug!

Foxy,
Well done!

Psychopant,

After observing your work on a couple of threads, I now get it.

Clever.

Yeah Romany, there's a whiff of sock about, isn't there?

While I come in late the thread is interesting.
I do not think we are far from the real world here, not my real world few days go by without m meeting some one who refuses to hear other views.
My brother and mate, not always able to say that about a sibling, is a conservative.
Anti unionist and sounds like Wilson Tucky.
Closest non family mate votes conservative, first grade red neck!
I refuse to be confronting with them both, makes for fun bar b q at times.
We should understand its human to be different.
