/// This has been a seriously long thread, and a lot of people have expressed a lot of opinions, and yet again, you single me out to battle with. ///
/// I really have no idea why you do this - do I really irritate you so much? ///
Please don't flatter yourself andy, I respond to most ABers who direct their views towards me, it is just the fact that you are the one to do it the most, so it stands to reason that I address you more than others.
And no you don't particularly irritate me personally, it is just the fact that you come across to many as rather pompous in your approach.
/// History will show that I have certainly given as good a I have got, but I do believe that I try to stick to the opinions and not to get too far into fighting with individuals. ///
That statement is precisely what I mean, boastful, pompous etc etc.
/// But again, you are pushing me into a fight, and I am absolutely not going to allow myself to spoil JJ's thread by getting drawn into battling with you. ///
I am not drawing you into a fight, but you must learn to be opposed, just the same as most in debates offer themselves up to be.
/// If you really find my posts so objectionable that you have to pick fault with every single one of them then I think that says more about you than about me. ///
Once again it is not just about me, you obviously find other's posts objectionable, so much so that it was most likely you who had a fellow ABer suspended, for stating views that you disagreed with.
Before we move on, I earlier in the thread typed this, but strangely you did not respond.
Your quote:
/// Trying to pass yourself off as less intelligent than you are in order to excuse lazy thinking doesn't really make it alright. ///
My response,
It is a wonder that you yourself has not been suspended for assuming that a fellow ABer is trying to pass himself off as less intelligent than he is, is surely against

Surely what you said was a personal attack?
Now shall we move on?
