EDIT I've decided to delete what I just typed so as not to offend myself.
That is worse than talking to yourself. :p
I may have regretted the tone of some of mine but never the message. I've never deleted one.
Sometimes I'm just having a bit of fun with someone, you know, yanking their chain to get a rise. But sometimes I'm dead serious, like when people spout absolute crappola and wont back down in the face of hard evidence. My mission is to get them to admit they might be mistaken. But I try to restrict myself to challenging their words. In a couple of cases, there are so many things I could have said but held back because I really do try to keep personalities out of it.
And just so there's no confusion, I expect anybody who sees me spouting similar crap to do the same. Sometimes you learn a lot more from what you don't know. It's hard to swallow the lump and say "yeah, I was wrong about that". You try to work out a way to slant your words so that it seems like you were right all along. Trouble is it's all there in black and white.
Nothing like a good argument anyway, people who don't like it should put something in their signature like "please don't argue with me, I'm a sensitive soul".
And yes, Lou, I know exactly who you were thinking about :wink:
That's the key, isn't it? Sometimes it's tempting to attack people who are full of bullshyte, but it only provokes them and seldom changes their viewpoint. (Although I'll admit they can really get your back up.)Quote:

Like your opinion of Queenslanders. :DQuote:

It becomes personal and they wont admit they were wrong, because that would mean admitting the person they've had the stoush with was right and that can be a hard thing to do. There's a fine line between pride and looking like a fool. Don't I know it :oQuote:

Oh no, I think they are a fine example of early Australian architecture. It's the people who live in them that I'm not sure about :pQuote:

Apart from calling you guys a bastard frequently, I am still the good guy here.:D
Yeh, well if you really really want to prove you are a good guy you'd part with your secret cat recipe.:2tsup:Quote:

I pulled a post because I got confused about who was posting, and addressed a stupid comment to the wrong person. Sorry Teejay.
