Did Jack only kill 3?

The problem is that by keeping 3 dead ducks in the water, the riverbanks get filled with bystanders making claims that the ducks still live and breathe.

Dead ducks just in your opinion though.

I am not getting personal there are enough smart arses on here as it is without the need for a female to join the group.

I'm sorry Trevor, but that ill-advised comment, whether intended humorously or not, does little for your credibility...

Trev...I'm really a 54 year old hairy arsed male docker. And I can't wait to meet you at York.

Well, there's that enlightened attitude again.

Hello Mark,

As indeed do other comments of other intent. Wind-up merchant's words galore abound...
Anything for a cheap laugh at someone's expense, eh? Par for the course for some golfers to hack at out in the long grass. Or should that be hacks, not golfers? Lol

Best wishes

Phil...as any sort of comment Trevor's was just SO wrong...and I'm genuinely sorry that you don't see that...

All the best

Hi Phil,

I think that entire post is below you, to be honest. You don't have to disapprove of Trevor's methods or his conclusions to know that the remark I quoted isn't on. Nor do you have to look very far to find a rule which it might very well infringe:

4. Don't slander/libel people and don't use insults based on race, orientation or gender.

It's been said before, but here we are in someone else's house: so we ought to follow their rules.

Nor am I with you re: the 'hacks'. As far as I can tell, you're alluding to (as one dictionary tells me) 'writers who produce dull, mediocre or routine work'. I can't quite tell whether that's aimed at me specifically, or whether you perceive me to be among a group of hacks who all deserve your disdain, or whether you expect me to cheerfully agree with you that there are plenty of hacks around here playing an ugly game. Perhaps it doesn't matter.

Poor form on your part, old chap, I'm afraid. Very poor form.

Regards,

Mark

Have you tried Immac ?

Well I am sure our meeting will be fullfilling and enlightening for both of us you best book an appointment with me as there are several others who want to have a one to one with me might not be able to fit you all in

Colin Cobb has allowed me 45 mins lecture time and 1 hour in the back alley with boxing gloves

[Phil Carter]

Hello Dave,

Actually, by writing 'as indeed' I had seen it and agreed with Mark, but note at the same time the playground ganging up is quick to start and preceeded it. THAT goes unnoticed too. However my response was with 'lol' at the end, part ironic and part written in deflection.

Best wishes

You're not by any chance Feigenbaum yourself?

Phil, I'm about to PM you, I payed for the books about 40' min. ago.

The problem is that very few on here have any sense of humour at all everything is taken all so seriously.

Hey where were you with your morals, when we had the other lunatic female on here recently slagging people off. Was that acceptable because she was a female.

Whats good for the goose, etc

I am not a sexist in fact I quite like it

[Supe]

Phil,

note at the same time the playground ganging up is quick to start and preceeded it.

Why is it necessarily "ganging up"? Trev is normally crude and rude, but this time he went too far and a number of us reacted. Trev could have simply apologized (we all misspeak at times) and it would be quickly forgotten. instead, Mr. Bluster says it was "a joke" and then excoriates the rest of us for lacking a sense of humor. Uh huh, sure.

Oh so its ok for Debra to have a sarcastic pop at me but when I reply all hell breaks loose. You are like big kids, get a life

Hello Mark,

You missed the 'lol'. As explained, meant ironic and deflectionary- it included the remark about 'hacks'. IF it was meant seriously I'd have said so. It wasnt. Poor form to assume it was and believe that it was when 'lol'- laughs out loud- is clearly used,
'As indeed' indicated my agreement.

I don't 'expect' anything of you Mark. But it should be noted that Debs responded as she saw fit.

As regards 'poor form'- Im not perfect, but as to things being 'below me' I won't condone nor join in the oft used tactic of ganging up on individuals, which in some individuals cases, is repetitive. Whether THAT is below some people is for them and their concience. Note I will not inform you what I believe is 'beneath' you. That WOULD be poor form, old chap.

Best wishes

Phil
