Now I wonder why that is?

Are you two joined by some form of umbilical cord or is one just the other's 'lap-dog'?

No perhaps neither, because I really think you must be joined by a 'Brain Cell', because you both seem to have just the one to share between the two of you.

Oh heck!!

[ummmm]

But you don't abuse people AOG...

Putting an insult articulately does not change the fact that it's still an insult....

[jackthehat]

Perhaps we are just similarly struck by your utter transparency and unpleasant mind-set ?

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

As I have said countless of times, I do not insult people who do not first insult me.

If anyone thinks I am going to constantly take insults, and general childish remarks from certain persons without responding, they are mistaken.

This site is being spoiled by certain persons (and yes this includes you), who are not prepared to debate, but just wish to sit on the sidelines like vultures ready to swoop and pick bones out of the least innocent posting or remark.

One by one you have got rid of some less ardent ABers, until it is slowly becoming a playground for childish chitter-chatter, but let me reassure you, you ain't going to get rid of me.

why have threads got to descend into this?
Can't a debate be conducted without this type of stuff?
by anyone btw

[jackthehat]

This sort of thread will always descend to this gutter level precisely because that's where they crawl out from.............

Satire is usually meant to be funny, ?????????

Satire uses wit as a weapon. ??????????

I'll leave it to others to comment.

I know you are a blithering nuisance JHT, but there is no need to put yourself down so much.

[jackthehat]

Awww..........that was a feeble attempt...........at..........whatever it was.
And triggs was so helpful in explaining all about satire, too.

Yes but just check back and see who starts it all.

Is there anything detrimental in my question on the census, to warrant such sneering replies?

[Bobbisox]

AOG I have found the best way to go is to ignore but I am not saying you are "squeaky clean" either, the thread loses its momentum when it goes into this kind of thing and He/said/She said ensues, then it does get silly

Afternoon.

Thread will be closed shortly.
