Lexi "As a friend of mine stated"

a friend... you must have a vivid imagination... I gave up imaginary friends shortly before I started infant school

Pelican "I disagree with Houlley. Col does not have many detractors only people with whom he disagrees,"

and whilst you and I disagree, we have always done so with mutual respect for our differing views..... you initiate no claim to make self-righteous or judgemental comments of me, unlike some on this thread,

so we disagree and treat each other respectfully. - as I prefer :-)

Poirot - you claim to have zoned out on page 7..... so what, you are here addressing me on page 9 -

So, do I take you at your word or do I assume you are a liar

Regarding yourself, like I said "I would observe most of you are not worth talking about,"


Ammonite "Col Rouge

I can only thank you for the inestimable contributions you have made to this topic."

yes it would have been nice to say the same to you..... it would have been so nice.

Regarding our weekend

We have just been taken to lunch, very nice - both the wedding party and the lunch

tomorrow night we will be dancing... lighting up the floor with tangos and foxtrots.... (at last weeks formal ball we received compliments about our dancing)

an active life is so much more fun than trawling through web pages deciding what sort of personality type other people are, especially when one has never met the person and those people do not give a rats about the result.


Lexi "No one likes, or supports an abusive,
illogical or weak debater"

Exactly, that is what I find so irritating about you

We can go on and on....

ultimately, you good folk can complain all you want but it seems to me,

whilst you use plagarism and the efforts of others to manufacture criticism of the likes of people like me.....

I use original thought in doing the similar to you

and we all know who is, therefore, the more worthy debater

Dear Col,

You're a funny man in your increasingly desperate efforts
to offend. It doesn't suit you to become an old sausage -
fizzing and spluttering in his own grease. That's so -
what's the word I'm looking for - base.

As for imaginary friends - they're the best kind. You're
under no obligation to like them. The truth is that an
imagination is essential to an original mind.

cont'd...

By the way the correct spelling is - "plagiarism."

"Copy from one, it's plagiarism, copy from
two, it's research."
(William Mizner).

Col,

Don't assume anything about me,(coz you'll probably be wrong) except perhaps that I've belatedly realised that I've wasted a good deal of type space bothering to play your little game.

Won't happen too often, dear - your "show pony" is welcome to you.

Dear Poirot,

Posters on forums are most fortunate people in that they get to have a say even though they don't always deserve to be heard. It's a
nice indulgence and here we are taking advantage of it.

Lexi “You're under no obligation to like them. The truth is that an
imagination is essential to an original mind.”

Maybe so, but an “original mind” is not the only consequence of a imagination…

Indeed being “pathologically delused” is another outcome sourced from an imagination

The internet suits you Lexi… it seems, if you have enough time and look hard enough, as you do, you can find someone to justify your own bad practices

And by the way… responding to you… pedantic attachment to exact spelling is a complete waste of effort and I would hate for you to think I was trying to “top” you (a mouse running around on a wheel can do that)

Poirot… don’t sweat… I don’t even think about you… which I say at risk of repeating myself.

Like I said previously, I write here to amuse myself…. I do not ponder why you bother – to be here or perform any other function of your daily routine for that matter, other than to provide you with a break in the drudgery.

but to share with others your wonderful and unique insight on matters it ain’t

and trust me, my show-pony is happy with me, just as I am with her – there is something wonderfully satisfying about being in a relationship with an exceptionally beautiful woman and watching the looks she gets from other men and women.
