Eh?

I know what abuse has been hurled, and I've often pointed it out.

So what are you on about?

.... which is meant as a polite query, nothing more.

I know that I often get hassled for being rude when I've asked a plain
question that no reasonable person could consider rude in *MY* universe,
so I thought I'd make the above point pre-emptively.

which is the whole point of TOG's posts here, isn't it?

I do find his pathology very interesting - I don't understand what
sickness of mind persuades someone to behave in the obsessively
disruptive fashion that TOG enjoys.

I've been aiming at gaining insight, but - well, it's hard to untangle
the mind of a lunatic, isn't it?

Rowland.

Hey, I was just guessin'. You've just confirmed my guess wasn't too
wide of the mark.

Yes, that is a gross understatement, people have been trying for years
to untangle yours, but most have failed:-)))

Jim, there are two incredibly annoying excessively stubborn fuckwits on
this newsgroup who nevertheless make useful posts sometimes.

I'm one of them.

Looked in a mirror lately?

Are you helping any more than I am?

Mmm?
