You were obviously affected, because you posted you were leaving the forum.

It was nothing personal, I'd have defended anyone against what I saw as unfair bullying.

I've never been one to be silent, be it the fashionable thing to do at the present time, or not.

I lost patience briefly - at no time did I experience anger - I no longer feel the need for such destructive emotion

The 'famous' people I happened to mention in my original post.

Nothing about being 'well aware of lots corruption, and preferring to remain silent'.

Blimey the mind of a conspiracy theorist is unfathobable, and invents it's own bizarre facts that aren't there, at least not apparent to those of a rational mind.

If that's evidence of research I'd label it very sloppy, if not verging on the slanderous.

Good.

I think your imput on this forum is much needed, considering the dross that has meant many other interesting members have disappeared.

Defame, to harm the reputation of someone by libel or slander, to disgrace.

I was merely pointing out that not all the people I mentioned in my original post are primarily considered infamous, but that I could justify all those mentioned as being such because of what I know.

I was just trying to illustrate that I wasn't 'showing off' about having known a lot of well known people, but those I mentioned were my brushes with infamy, which is what the thead was about.

When i used to stand Accy market we had a guy that helped out now and again that used to knock about with the Kray Twins

apart from meeting Idi Amin in the Sudan (1980) during his exodus from Uganda into exile in Saudi Arabia don't think I have met anyone who could really be described as infamous (nasty) . Have buddy in Austria and he keeps a photo of this Dad on the mantlepiece in his Waffen SS uniform from the early 40s , only met the chap once (now passed on) , when asked about his missing fingers , he just replied with a shrug 'Stalingrad' , a really nice gentleman , made great Obstler (Schnapps) . Also once worked/alongside with a chap who had been part of the German occupation force in the Channel islands , he was a nice chap as well ....

I could infact defame all those I listed.

I could defame all those you listed. Defamations are unfounded.

You obviously haven't witnessed how Mrs. Thatcher eats peas.

Nothing's unfounded if it is what you actually saw.
