It doesn't matter if you try to refute his absurd claims of being insulted - in fact it just makes matters worse. I'm speaking as one who know the futility of arguing with him. Don't go there, it's a complete waste of time. Ignore him.

Why all this insistence on hurling personal remarks about me around this newsgroup? I really do not understand it.

From: JM on 15 Jul 2010 05:05 > We ... have no creative talent in this country. Eh? Let's just have a look at the development of hospital diagnostic equipment. CT, MRI and ultrasound are all UK inventions. That, you might think, would have put us ahead of the game and resulted in the UK cornering a fair chunk of the world market. Today, our share of the diagnostic industry is miniscule. Why? Perhaps it's because, in the UK, we have rather too much "creative talent" in the financial sector. PS. Ditto the various apologies for you-know-who already offered.

The email has been doing the rounds, you are being killfiled, I know that is an alien concept to you, but Jim and his cronies see you (or rather don't at the moment) as persona non grata. Don't worry Rowland there are plenty of us who will stick up for your right to spout bollocks. -- "Telling someone to kill themselves is not harmful: it's merely me expressing an opinion.
