Spam content often have intent to sell something, so a spam blocker is stopping the seller from advertising (whilst invading your time and space), if stopping cold calling is selfish, is the spam blocker not also? And with regard to your utterly selfish shopping/parking habits, as usual, anyone else doing wrong (possibly stopping you from parking) is out of order, so why then is your taking a space when not necessary not just as bad? two wrongs don't make a right! It seems to me that you, rather than I are living in a dream world, you are a pedantic old fool with nothing better to do than argue senslessly against people who are usually nearer to right than you are, I have yet to see you admit you are wrong, even when everybody else but you, thinks that you are indeed, wrong! Now to use your own words, GET REAL! Sorry for the rant and the wander garinda, but I cannot understand this fellow at all!

jambutty is not a title – it is a name. Mister, Doctor, Missus, Judge, Sir etc are all titles. If you are going to argue your case, then at least try to get the facts right. In any case calling a person by their name is a common courtesy.

I had no need to make reference to your name because I was responding to your post by quoting the post that included your name.

Your command of the English language is sadly lacking if you equate the notice on my front door with banning a cold caller from knocking. A caller is still free to ignore the notice and knock anyway if s/he chooses to. The same goes for spam emails. A spam blocker is NOT stopping the spammer from advertising. The fact that it was sent means that the spammer has been able to advertise and it has arrived in my mailbox. I reserve the right to view the email or not as I choose. There is nothing to say that I MUST read the email.

You really do need a reality check.

Resorting to name calling tells me that you do not have coherent case to make.

If you want to continue with your puerile arguing, be my guest, but as far as I am concerned you will be arguing for your own benefit.
