You`re right, not really name calling, just a minor insult directed at another member of the forum, I only brought it up because I don`t think he needs to lower himself to that level.

Have to disagree again, it aint n insult its n honest opinion in my view. n if telling what someone regards as truth is lowering himself, we are in a very poor world.

For most new members the ideal way is to participate in the threads after seeing how the land lies.......and to realise this is not real life.....only virtual life.

You did ask the question right at the start of this thread,"What was your take on maths and your usage of it when leaving school", I could have just gone along with you and everyone else and said it`s a complete waste of time and never used it since leaving school, but wheres the fun in that.
|
Excuse me? Post 141? Was that not fun? I'd have spent all of my life studying example number #5.
Oh, hang on I did. but you seem to have missed the 'Fun', because you would rather have a go at Jaysay!!!
You claim to have put diversity and added to the post, maybe you have?
But if you look at the history of the site, every thread does that anyway,
It's a natural process for on here.
Join in, please, but don't think you are the first to wander.

Merely varying facets of my persona DtP47. Like a Diamond, alluring & scintillating, great worth, great burden, who can say.

That can be said about any insult, you`re ugly, you`re boring, you`re thick, can all be an opinion of someone, but is still an insult.
Anyway, as far as the none-insult goes, it`s water off a ducks back, just thought there was a bit more to jaysay than that.

Truly a rather novel approach wouldn't you say ?
