Au contraire, David,

I'm an atheist/agnostic-whatever, myself.

It's just that I noted your provocative tone.

"...stalked..."

Ho, ho, ho.

You started the thread. You're up for the debate. Pointing out a few of your own foibles is obviously off the agenda.

(I agree - "swagger" is a little childish - perhaps you should desist?)

The Pied Piper,

Merry Christmyth to you and to those you love and who love you.

With old Nick at least one can see the gifts…hey! Nicholas was third century bishop in Turkey who made wheat magically appear and is attributed with giving gifts and I believe that is where the idea of Santa originated. But being from the third century has a lot of myth surrounding him. No news there.

Liam was certainly frustrated by the one-sided conversation. Lot of people become atheist that way. :))

David

Poirot,

People do notice, I suppose you know. Stalking is one of the lowest forms of non-wit.

Try to keep it in check as difficult as that might be for you. It ain't pretty to watch.

David

David,

If I was going to stalk someone, it wouldn't be you.

I take it your "stop stalking me" defence is your fall-back mode, when you find someone criticises your style and you don't like it.

Poirot,

“If I was going to stalk someone, it wouldn't be you.”

Good to hear….but we shall see.

“I take it your "stop stalking me" defence is your fall-back mode, when you find someone criticises your style and you don't like it.”

No, wrong, I have never used the term before.

You are stalking me.

David

David,

I don't appreciate being accused of stalking - because you don't care for my earlier post.

maybe we should see what Graham thinks?

Poirot,

Don’t get me wrong, I have been stalked before on many occasions. It goes with the job of being president of the AFA. Such a position attracts stalkers of all kinds. However, you can claim a first in being the only one I have outed on a Forum about it.

“I don't appreciate being accused of stalking - because you don't care for my earlier post.”

Then don’t do it. Maybe you should look at the content of all your posts in regard to me. You accuse me of using the term ‘stalking’ as some kind of often-used defence, as a put down comment, as are most of or all of your other remarks about me (ad hominem – have you heard of that?) and instead of backing it up, you retort with the above. Pathetic.

Do you really believe I'm not going to defend myself from the likes of your consistent negative comments, the purpose of which is pandering to the lowest common denominator? If so, think again.

“maybe we should see what Graham thinks?”

Sure, why not, if the deep end of the pool is too tricky for you. I can’t see what that will do but fine by me.

David
