i've been here longer than you, and the history between me and town goes back to when he started
how is it that you have such an early join date and such a low post count?
did you have a different user name earlier?
rumour has it that i might have :noid:
You can see my post history (and you've recently posted on an aged post of mine). I got banned for some reason or other, probably profanity. As already described, I can be prone to emotional delivery, which where I'm from involves profanity. Which is not acceptable here. Hence the very fair ban.
If it's been a while between posts, it's because I've been busy. Life will do that to a chap.
I don't have a history per se with Town Heretic, other than reading what he writes. I take exception to it, content and consequence.
While he doesn't like the obvious pattern being pointed out, he's very good at what he does. I see people like him all the time. I don't like them, and I never shy from calling them out.
What you absolutely shouldn't read into that is some kind of deeper affinity. That 'the enemy of my enemy' trope is not applicable. This isn't war, it's a public forum.
You be you, I'll be me, and he'll be him. The truth won't (despite the best wishes of everyone's granny) out. But, it's never not fun to poke the nest. So to speak.
You think there was confusion on the point?
Well, at least we can agree something is fishy about your protest.
So you don't know much about that thread either.
That's the spirit.
Now, then. You, Mr Heretic.
Happy to have given you something to think about, from one little line of text.
I'm not sure what's suspect (fishy, pond. See. Oh, you.) about what I wrote. I thought it rather clear. I don't like the way you address things, or specifically, other people. I don't like the superior tone you take in your 'Observational' thread.
I don't know much about 'that' thread? Well, I do. I read it (hence the comment). You just don't like the inference (note, inference, distortion would require a deliberate misrepresentation, rather than an observation. At leat one of us has to play fair.) I take from it. Or, rather, you don't like me stating my inference.
Quelle surprise.
I think you're smug.
Who cares? Well, possibly just me, or, probably, you too. Your little tribe, however, well, we already know, right?
No leadership at all, not any...
