Sheep behave like that because they are in close proximity and innately suggestible. Thinking humans on Usenet are neither.
Steve, we accept you hold your view and we acknowledge your right to kf TMH and not contribute to any thread which includes him (if you so wish) but you also need to accept that (almost?) everyone else contributing doesn't see things like that. Now you really just need to drop this before you commit the ultimate sin of Usenet - being Boring.
And you're not? Forgotten already, eh? Very convenient, but tragically inept.
Really? So you would dictate to others as to the acceptability and veracity of your PoV? That, surely, is a matter of opinion for each reader who chooses to respond to you. I will choose whether or not *I* find your views acceptable and correct, not you.
That is a matter of opinion for anyone who has contributed to this thread. The rest of your analogy is irrelevant, given the context of the thread.
Sadly, I agree. His input is most welcome and constructive. The conduct of contributors to this newsgroup is usually exemplary. I really cannot see why SF has taken such exception.
Whole hearted agreement.
I've found your comforter - look, it's in the pram.
Where do you get that idea from? There are many options, and I don't have to leave my frontal lobes fallow for any of them.
I'm not the one who started the thread, nor indeed am I the one continuing it.
You may find that if you can learn the correct orientation of cart and horse that lie becomes just a little easier. Then later you can graduate to differentiating between the rectum and the articulatus cubitus.
"Suddenly with one bound Wanderer thought he was free."
Shame the real world doesn't work that way.
What am I telling people to do?
You need a course in elementary logic. You may choose to hold whatever view you like, including whatever view you wish of my point of view. However it remains your point of view, and your point of view alone. You have no more weight in your opinion than any other individual.
Usenet is an anarchy with all that implies in terms of individual rights, responsibilities and the general lack of ownership.
How appropriate your name is. When it comes to childish behaviour, I'm not the one claiming ownership of the rattle.
I'm sad that you have to respond in such a fashion. I did have belated second thoughts about sending the message! However, it does reflect upon your attitude. Let's bury the axe and let service be resumed, please?
Oh please, not the 'Wot? Me, guv?' excuse. I've wasted enough time on you, as have many others. You can do your own homework.
No you need to learn how to express yourself properly.
Have I claimed anything else?
Ahh, the light seems to have dawned for you at long last.
But that is only your PoV. It is neither correct nor appropriate, merely a misguided PoV.
Ahh, so you resort to a mild form of attempted ridicule in the absence of any germane counter.
Shame the real world sees you for what you are.
Then your memory is defective.
No, it's an objective statement, "being correct" is different to "being in agreement".
