Much obliged for using my correct user name Less. Thank you for having the common courtesy to do so.

Jambutty, you ask What's a nice thread? I can tell you that this isn't a nice thread, it is a successful thread because it has managed to stir interest for four pages but nice? definitley not, it is a thread that is showing you in a light that is not very flattering.

OK! Fine! You don’t think that this topic is a ‘nice’ topic. It’s a subjective opinion but none-the-less you are quite entitled to make it. This thread started off as a ‘nice’ topic but has degenerated into, not to put too fine a point on it, a slanging match. But it was not of my doing. I just responded to what was slung at me. Although maybe at my age maybe I should have known better.

My true self? Yes I guess it is. I fight my corner. I do not bow to bullies and my opinions are sincere and consistent even if they conflict with other views. I don’t know where you managed to find bitterness in my posts. I didn’t put it there. Maybe it is something to do with the “if you read between the lines”. The only thing between my lines is space.

I repeat again Less I am calm, very, very calm and always have been. In fact my natural calmness (or maybe that should be navy training) has often been mistaken for being cold and unfeeling. I don’t write in anger because that invariably leads to written nonsense. I wasn’t aware that posting on this forum was a competition though.

If members choose not to display their names to you I for one can understand why, like a little terrier you get hold of something and you will continue to 'worry', until the death, what you feel is unfair (to you).

Am I wrong to stick to my guns if I feel that my view is the correct one and no one has been able to convince me otherwise? If I feel that something is unfair to me I will tackle the source. There is nothing to be gained by whinging to a neighbour.

I accept that signing a Karma award is voluntary but derogatory comments without a signature deserve to be challenged. I am not ashamed of anything that I might state or write and I am happy to put my name to it. Others seem to prefer the sneak thief in the night attitude and that is rather sad.

So you enjoy giving negative Karma. That says a lot about you, doesn’t it?

THIS POST SUCKS, Guess who?
I’ve got no idea it wasn’t signed. And I don’t jump to conclusions without verifiable evidence, unlike some people on this forum.

YOU were the one who jumped to the conclusion that Less missspelled your name on purpose as an insult now you are offended that other people have poked fun at that. Psychiatrists? Have YOU seen one lately.
Begging your tardy pardon your *!!*ship. Tugs forelock and indicates that I can still draw a long bow with either hand.
