And I have, of course, peeked into my killfile on the iPhone and seen the cataract of abuse this has invoked from Rowland. I really wish people would stop responding to this. It is totally unfair on the group and spoiling it. Nastiness needs other nastiness to survive and no one comes out of it looking good in the end. -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk

I have nothing to contribute to this other than to commend you for the lovely expression `cataract of abuse'. b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

Noone's having a go at you, James, and noone's "enjoying" Rowland's posts about because most of us have killfiled him. All we see are your pointless responses to him. If you calm down and read what people have been saying to you, it boils down to "ignore everything Rowland posts and don't get sucked into a slanging match". That's it. It's just friendly advice intended to save you from high-blood pressure. Feel free to ignore it. > Why am I always the bad one on here folks? The fact that people are giving you advice means that they want you to continue participating in the group; if you hadn't had any responses it would mean that people had given up on you and added you to their killfile. |
