If I thought you were hassling me I would sort it with a PM...the best way in the world(not open warfare on the forum).

Good to hear that, but someone thought I was giving you hassle, it wasn`t a nasty sort of message in any way, just a misunderstanding by someone and as it was through Karma so I don`t know who it was so couldn`t message them back.

ah well you see neil if I do harass him I normally either do it in a pm or in the railway .. if in a pm it cant be put on here .. in the railway normally ends up buying a pint and im forgiven ... and the bus was standing still he'd have to pick his bus driver .. cos some of em still know me from when I worked there so if its one that don't know me im safe ... if its one that knows me .. then theres a chance he would drive over me ....

So I cannot promise to keep Stum.
Sorry

I agree ... esp. on the being talked down to thingy. I'm not unintelligent ... don't you just love English and its nuanced meanings. And I dislike being treated as a moron ... or a mormon for that matter. Problem with arguing about, say, religion with a born again Christian is that one always runs into his/her bottom line: the Bible is the word of God. The beauty of the language in the King James version, I can enjoy. I can go along with the beatitudes. I understand that much of the Bible is metaphor, the parables come immediately to mind ... my good friend, the late Father Bob Ogle, S.J., humanitarian and confirmed socialist had an interesting take on Job, a very problematic book.

Discussing politcs has its pitfalls too. Ideology becomes dogma. Party becomes truth ... a "truth" that views contending political truths as lies ... an interesting distortion of meaning ususally based on spurious logic.

But, bottom line for me is: I just can't resist offering a little ridicule to anyone who talks down to me.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Eric, I would never talk down to you.
I respect other forum members for their input to threads....I respect them for their differing views, which are usually interesting and borne of life experience......but every now and then someone comes along and wants to monopolise, to imply that their ideas, beliefs are the right ones, the only ones. Then things can get personal and sometimes even a bit nasty.

And before you tell me that you were not meaning that I had talked down to you(well, at least that is what I hope).......I know!

Eric, oh hang on while I get my stool out, NOooo, don't panic, I only mean the one I stand on to talk down to people.....



Well, there we go, consider yourself well and truly talked down to.

Now, if someone can help me off this stool, no?

Typical AccyWeb, not a Charitable Christian amongst us!

[Margaret Pilkington]

The charitable christian(?) appears not to have been around much today.....unless he has been peeping at the forum undercover as a guest.
Have I missed him?...not a lot. I do hope it wasn't anything we said.

That is sad, because if he got down off that one trick pony of his, he probably has some interesting life stories to tell.

[Margaret Pilkington]

See! Speak of the devil and he will hear and appear.

Are we talking about Kevin or DtheP?

[Margaret Pilkington]

Oh, Less......now I know you are intelligent, so I will let you decide

[Boeing Guy]

Well I am 6 Foot 2Inches and i have a very tall ladder available, so no one is going to talk down to me.

Do they fit a Perspex dome over the left hand seat so that you can fit in the cock pit?

I used to be 6' 2", but I've been ill, now I have to get a dwarf to reach things from the middle shelves at Tesco .

Anyone else notice, if you mix Accy Web (AW) with his name (KWard) you get awkward.

If that was true, he'd fit in perfectly .
