Please though have the strength of your convictions and say who you are as well as your comment. There is nohing worse than a coward - so your comments are worth less than nothing without your signature.
Mine is always signed.
Where possible - as mostly it is green - I will thank your for your interaction - otherwise am willing to have a personal chat, you will find that I am a reasonable soul.
I stand by what I say...have he courage to defend your stance and your words by signing them.

There are plenty of karma threads this isn't one of them.
On the rare occasions I give or take the stuff I don't sign it, not because I'm a coward just because there are small minded people out there that if you sign and give green for example they feel duty bound to return the damned stuff, which isn't the idea behind it at all.
If you weren't bothered you wouldn't mention it.
I love it when I get red and a nasty comment about it being in return for the red I gave them, because inevitably the scmuck is completely wrong about who gave it to them 'cos 999 out of 1000 it wasn't me.

Its like I used to say about unsigned letters to the press, whats the point of writing if your not prepared to put your name to it, means absolutely nothing.

Seems about right to me Di

I hope you're joking, hard to tell with folk that go ballistic over karma, let's move on, it ain't worth the ink we're wasting on these posts.

No -mine was pure sarcasm!
Less would never have written what was in that message - I have no doubt about that.
If it was just for me...maybe
By the way - it is not a witch hunt. What goes around comes around - twice-fold

Perhaps the silly hunt's not a very good speller.

I never said it was a witch hunt! So I don't know what on earth Garinda is talking about? Perhaps he's on drugs again?

Or, suffering from low self-esteem, having a dirty protest as a way of drawing attention, by covering themselves in crap of their own making.

Aha! Had not considered him at all. Your suggestion might just be correct now I come to think about it -it all starts to fall into place.
I was thinking of having the message analysed by the top hand-writing experts in MI5 (you know I have my contacts there...) -but on your suggestion certain things now jump out at me: the only capital letter used was in your name, which was not at the beginning of the phrase -does this mean someone who nurses a conflicting secret admiration and esteem for you
Better and better - the profile begins to fit. The rant did show some vestigial humour and intelligence, if hidden under years of rhetoric...
I leave you to draw your final Honclusion - I am fairly satisfied that your intuition is Horrect - I seem to be developing an aversion to words which begin with a C -most strange
Just to keep on thread -recreational drugs have ruined many a decent family...they cause more misery across the board than the short lived pleasure they may seem to give to some.
