I don't know if English is a second language for SR or he was no good at school. He says "they are loathed to..." when he should have said: they are loath to. e.g I am not loath to say that I loathe the opinions of SR. It is amusing that someone so ignorant thinks he has the ability to guess my gender - incorrectly, of course.

SR has also made a shocking, libelous accusation against General Jim Nolan in my post ABC bigotry against the now senator.

Paul,

Isn't it embarrassing to be supported by a person like SR?

No.

//I don't know if English is a second language for SR or he was no good at school.//

I'd be wary about accepting English tuition from a semi-literate like ttbn, Steele. Why, it was only last week that he posted this little gem:

//If we were all like you there would be nothing to discuss, and you would have nothing and no-one to sneer? at.//

Apparently he's yet to grasp the basics of punctuation, but still considers himself in a position to be dispensing advice. A textbook example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

He's got a point, Steele: eunuchs are male.

//SR has also made a shocking, libelous accusation against General Jim Nolan//

That's he bit of a [censored]? The facts speak for themselves. Nolan is a massive [censored].

Paul,

No? You must be desperate

Toni Lavis, critical of my punctuation, doesn't actually say what is wrong with it. That's because there was nothing wrong with it.

The fellow has set himself up a a gender expert as well. He has me down as a eunuch. His problem is his inability to come to terms with the fact that his father, on sighting the infant Toni, went out to drown his sorrows on the way to Births, Deaths and Marriages, and registered the poor little mite with a girl's name.

//That's because there was nothing wrong with it.//

Seriously? You don't see anything wrong with that extraneous question mark after sneer? O.... kay.

Definitely the Dunning-Kruger effect.

//and registered the poor little mite with a girl's name.//

I didn't know Antonio was also a girl's name. You learn something new every day... well, some of us at least.
