What is it that you allege I've done wrong? `Treats people like this' - in what way am I mistreating you, James? Show me! Either that, or apologise for insulting me by implying that there's anything at all wrong with what I'm doing with respect to you. > > It's not a question of name calling and > > such, it's a question of sticking up for onesself. > > Rowland has a wife. She must be a a remarkable person. You have a wife - why has she not strangled you? You're such a nasty piece of work at times, you are, she should have done. Nasty piece of work? Yes, the devious underhand snide nastiness of that post was such you could call it a work of art. You must have been working on being this nastily bitchy for *decades*.

You would do well to bear in mind that any argument takes at least two responders. Why do you not refer to the posts from the people who like winding up James and me in the same pejorative terms which you use for the posts made by me and James? There's no justification for the sort of abuse that I've seen levelled at James on a routine basis, none at all. And you know what I think of the abuse that I get on a routine basis. In fact, all I have to do is complain about being abused, and I get insults, don't I? People calling me mad for complaining about being insulted. And somehow that's considered okay, is it? Calling me mad and ignoring the evidence that I have in fact just been insulted any time I complain about being insulted? But it's what happens here routinely - how can such behaviour be justified? > So - Please just killfile Rowland, James, or learn to stop responding > as soon as he goes off. Same goes for Jim, Woody, and Tim, and anyone > else really. Life in the group would be a lot saner. Yes, it would be a lot nicer if various posters here kept their nasty sides under control. And it would be nicer yet if people weren't so one-sided in their outlook...

That's the bet I'd place: lying. Rowland. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?

Never going to happen and if it does, I stop using computers. I'm not interested in blindness specific computing thanks, I work like the sighted as much as possible.

Not at all - he's not quite right from where I'm sat[1], but he's got a point[1]. Regardless of the fact that he's got a point, you're insulting him in an outrageously out of order fashion. by just hurling personal abuse at him in response to him making a perfectly sensible point. What makes you think that it's acceptable behaviour to deal with a difference of opinion you have with someone, by hurling personal abuse at them as a first resort? Rowland. [1] That's not quite what they're doing: they're trying to establish the rule that any of Rowland's opinions can be discarded on the say-so of one of those folk you refer to, by establishing the rule that he's mad so any time anyone calls any thing he writes `mad', it's correct to just totally ignore him because that's `kindest' It's actually aimed at totally removing my credibility rather than making this newsgroup a nicer place. [2] But of course the cabal always denies its existence, and you Jim are part of the cabal to which Steve Firth refers, so I see. An outlier, maybe. Who knows? I'm not bothering to pay enough attention to figure it out. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?
