I have noticed that you do tend to target Garinda with criticism more than others, this is beginning to look like a vendetta - so in the interests of 'a happy forum' - please ease off.

Let's call it tit for tat..........see I have a sense of humour

I would probably be banned if I gave an adequate reply to that.

- see that, it's a smile. It means I'm being pleasant so please take this in the way I am writing it Royboy.

When I posted the interesting thread about the relative sizes of planets you assumed it was meant as criticism of you when you were about as far from my mind as it's possible to get at the time.

When Rindy posted about loonies I took it as referring to us AccyWebbers en masse, in general, because we often refer to ourselves as that (as in when we sometimes welcome newbies to the 'loonie bin'). We laugh at ourselves, and why not - somebody has to. It didn't strike me as being an insult to anyone at all.

Please do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Most of the time they deserve it. Yes I did say you were grumpy but that was only because you were, at that point, being somewhat grumpy. When someone is grumpy others often react back in a grumpy manner and mountains are created where not even molehills had previously existed.

If you stop looking for personal insults in everything anyone else says then other people will probably stop being ratty with you and you'll realise that we all human after all (well, apart from Garinda with that avatar - not sure what he is at the moment, and Less is a vampire but we don't talk about that much)

OK....I will back off and consider my wrist well and truly smacked.
I am not ready to join the Rindy fan club just yet though.

Only paid up members of the fan club call me Rindy, for the rest Garinda is the correct term of address, or even just Sir.

I didn't pay Rindy, you said you would slap me if I didn't join

Margaret Pilkington · 26-07-2007, 12:26

I don't recall paying either

Actually I knew it was pointed at me, and I'm deeply upset about it. This is the reason I wasn't on last evening........ ( absolutely nothing to do with being stuck in my HARRY POTTER book til 4:30am this morning )

Hey I finished it though................wow great book!!!

Whenever I see the term "loony" on here, I immediately think of the Monty Python skits when they used it. Quite tame when used on Accyweb (IMO).

Royboy, stick with it. You'll eventually see and get used to (Though no need to agree or accept), the many various folks that make up the Accy family.

Cheers All!
