 Poster: A snowHead

laundryman,
Indeed, including the fact that, in my case, I shall not be doing GrahamN's route any time soon.

Which is that I agree with some things he says and don't agree with others and don't have a personal vendetta against him?
More than reasonable and an eminently mature POV don't you think??

YES!  |
Cheers Hurtle

I haven't got a clue who it's "aimed at", I'm making a general observation based on my own opinion of what I've read in these threads.
If the cap fits mate, and IMHO you seem to be making a god stab at making it fit, whether or not it did before, with this post.

What, you'd like me to provide objective evidence of something that's my subjective opinion and in so doing deflect this into tiresome analysis of past posts and subjective arguments over what person A/B/C meant when they posted X/Y/Z - do I come across as the sort of idiot who'd fall for that one?
Bottom line - it's my opinion, live with it!

Which is precisely the point I was making, strange how you take such exception to it... unless of course your own position isn't quite as clear as you suggest directly above.
Frankly I haven't got a clue whether it is or not and have no intention of checking back through this thread (once is enough) to see if your posts are as you suggest or not. As I say, your reply directly above suggests to me you're as guilty as some others of what in my opinion is 'unedifying' behaviour towards DG (and others ), however I may be wrong and ultimately I don't really care whether you are one of 'em or not, they're here and although they may have started off as bad as DG in pedantry etc. they're now IMHO far worse, as I think most of the replies to my posts testify (to me coming across as petty, snide, patronising etc. etc).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

roga, I asked for a clarification - it's you who seems to have taken exception.

roga, the gentleman has asked you to produce evidence to backup your statement. I suggest you either produce the evidence - for scrutiny by others - or withdraw the statement, like a good gentleman.

roga, Since your statement was not, as you say (and I believe you) directed at anyone in particular, you do not have to justify yourself to anyone in particular. And, with consummate self-control, I shall comment no further on the immediately preceding post.

Oh Tim, Tim, Tim - the game is rather tiresome but perhaps referring you, and the "gentleman" in question, to the very honest post by Hurtle above (and quoted below) will assuage you:

laundryman, FWIW, I didn't infer that Roga was singling you out. There are loads of people (including me) that throw hissy fits at DG! And I confess to having made a personal comment about Tim Brown earlier on this thread - but his posts annoy me so much, I simply couldn't help myself!  |
If it doesn't then tough and I refer you to my previously stated position:

LOL, your wish is my command but feel free to use it too - recycling is good and much better for the environment than heli skiing

Thanks In all honesty it was absolutely not aimed at anyone in particular least of all you,it was a general comment on my impressions of this thread and a number of others that I've read over the last year or so. If people want to ignore what I'm saying than no worries but I'm sure I'm not the only 'bystander' (because I generally avoid posting in these DG threads) who has this opinion. I have no axe to grind on the subject and I'd rather not remember who the particular people having a go at DG are because I'd then be in danger of judging every post they make and I don't want to do that. I know DG winds some people up inordinately, and I can sometimes see why but I see the same on both sides, and I'm sure there are people who on individual issues disagree with him and have no further agenda - if I posted in some of these threads that'd be my position. However, I do get a strong feeling that there are a number of people who just post in order to make an 'anti-DG' statement whatever the issue might be and I have got the impression of people ganging up on him which is not all that pleasant a spectacle. They may well disagree with him on every possible issue but unfortunately it comes across as being more about their having an 'anti-DG" agenda that carries on from thread to thread than their having a simple disagreement with him over the issues alone. As I've explained, and as you've graciously accepted, this is an overall perception built up over time and it's my own opinion not an objective statement. If people disagree then I have no problem with that, I'm not going to persuade those who see red at the mere mention of DG's name, but I think it's as well for someone to say how silly this all looks sometimes, at least it does to me.
