Brian,

you seriously not only lack humour, but also seem to believe that you are
superior, for some inexplicable reason. Simply asking RTE to cover your ass
is just plainly silly. If you'd have any evidence to further your case, why
not share that instead of being a pissant? To me it seems that you're only
interested in this thread as a means of trying to show your superiority (
which I fail to see anyway )...

Don't like lemon's... And I'm not American either, if that's what you're
referring to...

Terminal?? Poor sod....

What tab? You in the pub? With the farmers then supposedly? Might explain
you're ravings then.. If I'm proven wrong, I don't mind saying I was wrong,
how about you?

Ok, so here we go again, this obnoxious use of a perfectly functioning
language, degraded to muck.... And the insidious claims of "modding"... If
you ever were a moderator, you'd also have learnt that people would like to
see proof of claims made. And don't say I'm wrong with that as well...

Sure it does, nothing else was expected either.

The opinion of this former PostMaster is that e-mail is wasted upon you. I
never claimed to be "infallible" either. I've had my share of bouts here as
well, and I've also been wrong in this forum as well. As for "handbag" I'm
more curious of what you keep in yours. If you intend to mean I'm childish
because I tend to vigorously claim that you are wrong, it's because of your
own childishness. By being completely unable to give a straight answer and
defending your own stand point, you show a complete lack of "adulthood"....
Being an adult mean that you'd actually take responsibility of your own
actions and not ask others to cover your ass when you've said something
stupid.

Why am I not surprised of this extremely adult response?

Exactly... Loads of air and nothing substantial as usual.

We'll see at the end who is wrong and who is right. Interesting to see a
"former mod" displaying such a lack of being an adult. So, how come you're
_not_ a moderator anymore? Maybe there is a connection?
