Probably much to the amazement of the AW doubting Thomas's on here, I do want to know more about her.

As someone who genuinely doesn't know who to vote for yet, I've personally researched all the other candidates, who were announced ages ago, and fear time is running out to be won over by the last candidate to be declared.

I bet there would have been some noticeable exceptions to this, had the choice of candidate fallen to a more, 'Worthy?', head.

Your bladder isn't my concern, however if you think that I am in the habit of telling lies, you are wrong.

In the past he's used his column in the Observer to talk about the General Election, as well as Greg Pope.

Perhaps that's been convieniently forgotton, when coming up with this excuse, defending sour grapes.

I think you all read a different edition of the Observer to me Not one of you has mentioned the letter Ms. Buckley penned. Titled, Act quickly to stop drugs spreading.

Why, Oh, Why, didn't Peters parents Call him Richard?

Somehow calling him Peter Head would be more of an insult to the town than to him.

Hurrah!

She has got some press coverage.

Though sadly not a prize, for star letter of the week.

Notice she chose not to print her address in Hyndburn, with her letter.

Nice ring to it.

Though some would say not quite as 'incredibly rude' as inferring I was telling lies, when I said I haven't decided how to vote in the forthcoming elections.

I know it's common place for those who are involved within party politics, to accuse those they oppose of being liars, but happily in the circles I move in that isn't the case.

I believe in telling the truth, or I wouldn't bother saying something.

Some, though not me, might class that as being' incredibly rude' and tactless. Knowing that, as you do, that I have Parkinson's disease, which is both degeneartive and incurable, and thus the reason I have time to do 'nothing better'.

Personally, since you'd joined a group I'd set up for people with Parkinson's, I just found it rather sad, and pathetic. I certainly didn't take offence. Indeed the desparate straws that some people will grasp at, when out of their depth, just made me genuinely chuckle.
I didn't actually name you in my post. I'm glad you see "arguments twisted by some members for the sake of it" as yourself though. I don't believe anybody, ill or not, should go around making the forums unenjoyable by constantly twisting words in members posts. To write what you have done above, and even suggest, that 'nothing better to do' is anything relating to illness is a rather low blow indeed and a completely unfair representation of what I said. It's quite clear that I attributed the repeated negative twisting of arguments to 'nothing better to do', rather than posting in general.

To bring up such unfounded rubbish like this, publicly as well, is quite offensive.

You replied to a post, and quoted Wynonie, which named, and discussed myself.

It's there for all to see.

No twisting of words.

You can try and squirm, and back track, but what you said is there, for everyone to read, and people can make their own mind up about what you posted.
