I sincerely hoped I would have the self control to not post, but. sigh "...before you make this one get out of hand..." Once again, straight in implying that I'm the trouble maker. Thanks for the vote of confidence Doug. Off topics : Once again, go through the last 100 threads.... see how few of them end up on the same topic as where they start. Not many, is there? It's not just flipping me, it's EVERYONE!!! Even you, Doug. EVERYONE. If you really want me to get bitter and start a feud over it, why do so many aliens have to be posted into pictures where they have no relevance? Thanks for singling me out. (Tedz, I want to apologise profusely for using the reference to the alien pics above. I am NOT degrading what you do there coz it's funny as fook and even I have to laugh, I was using it as a direct equivalent reference for the treatment I am receiving. As for you personally, I want to say I don't shre the dislike that you seem to have aquired for me and my style, and think your "pretty ok."...) On and on and on? You missed point 1 Doug - it happens a few times and then 'appears' to be happening constantly... Ah, Canadian slanders? US Slurs? I've only been doing jokes about them for the past 4 years that I've been here. Jeez. I've probably posted 100 times with reference to the difference in UK/US spellings. I've also took the mick out of the Irish, English, Geordies (like me, y'know?), Soft Southerners, Australians and New Zealanders. You're the first person that has taken it to heart or mentioned it, and a little IM letting me know you find it offensive would have put an end to it. You keep expressing to me your dislike of 'creating trouble' in public over petty issues, yet you mention that Here. Now. At what point does a thread become "Off Topic"? Each of our posts had relevance to the previous post, so it's more of a sideways 'drift'. And if we all start new threads when we drift off topic, can you imagine what it would end up like trying to follow a conversation? Is it JUST ME you want to single out to do this, or will this rule apply to everyone? I guess with some powers it's not what you are but who you are. I do the same as everyone else here, I just happen to be a bit more open and blatant about it, and tend to mix all of your bad habits into one nasty little package. I guess that's turned me into an easy target as Don says. I want to say thanks to everyone above who has offered me support and the kind words, they mean a great deal to me. Please, carry on whatever is good that you give me credit for, blame me for the bad. Shit happens. (",)
