There’s already a thread on this, Tora. Which you’ve commented on.

I had no idea what that thread was about ZM I contributed 1 word an a question mark. I don't speak PP.

[bednobs]

you are hardly speaking from a position of strength ttt

Prof. Neil Ferguson was named at the top of PPs first paragraph, TTT.

Must admit, I find PPs posts/replies a little confusing but reading a second time, they make sense.

[Zacs-Master]

Most people understood that the thread was about Neil Ferguson. You didn’t need to speak PP for that.

[douglas9401]

Not always, Tora, just a wee bit of education and the patience to read past headlines.

[ToraToraTora]

Tigger, it said "Prof Neil Ferguson has been called on to resign
He met and kissed a married lover against the govt's 'no bonking' rule" - that's as far as I read, I thought it was a thread about someone bonking his secretary. I had no idea who Neil Ferguson was until I read the headline on the news site this morning, I therefore had no idea it was the same story.

[Zacs-Master]

I think most people ‘got over’ their normal opinion of PP’s posts and gave him a chance that he was making a point for discussion. It’s rare he posts questions, so I thought I’d do him the courtesy of seeing what it was about.

[bednobs]

yes but those of us who don't follow your posts avidly and don't bother to keep up with your abbrieviations have no idea what you are talking about. I also don't speak cockney rhyming slang, so have no idea what any of that means either. and then I get told off by you for not knowing what your gobbledegook means and told I must keep up! I have no idea how you think that's any different from a Peterpedant post.
perhaps you should take your own advice and "keep up" with PP?
I was also referring to the "do as I say..." botox of you convincing yourself picking up your son was necessary. Although I probably would have done the same thing, i wouldn't then moan about others being hypocritical.
Anyway, wouldn't it be nice if EVERYONE posted so they could be understood?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Well said Zacs

[Zacs-Master]

;-)

[ToraToraTora]

so to recap, this thread is now about why it was raised because there was another on the same subject that Alan Turing would struggle with! PMSL, only on AB!

[Zacs-Master]

Must be a lot of Alan Turings on AB then. Maybe we should start a clique!

[johnny.5]

another Stasi victim ?

I really like PP, can’t follow his mindset but that doesn’t make him or me a bad person now does it?
I’d rather have 10 PP posts than ‘waspish’ diggy ones ,
I know, I know , no such word :0))))

[Bobbisox1]

I’ll say it here
I like the 3 Ts as well and like second guessing his rhyming slang :0)

[MallyJ]

PP doesn't seem to descend into name calling and other unpleasantness towards ABers so that is 1 tick for him and actually his posts are often amusing. Not hard to understand his posts.
