Not sure what the problem is.

Admin - I hope I didn't make any personal attacks on this thread. It's hard to talk about people's behaviour without mentioning them by name. If I crossed a line, I apologise.

The 'respectful silence' does work, but as michael says, only if everyone does it. There was a time on this forum when most people did and it worked fairly well. My policy, when I really can't say nothing, it to ask a direct and polite question. If that gets no useful response, I'll walk away. Sometimes, however, it does. I can think of two threads recently where I had an issue with something Eagle said and we had a reasonable conversation that resulted in Eagle at least acknowledging my position had some validity, even if he didn't change his own. That seems like a fair outcome to me.

Oh, and I thought that was just me. You guys should see the posts I write then delete before posting. Would make your eyes water.

I've had it. He's still here, his mere existence irritates me as do one or two waffling pompous pseudo intellectuals.

Don't see your problem with pseudo-intellectuals. I'd have thought you'd have enjoyed unmasking their pretensions.

Yeah! Exactly what I have been trying to say in various threads ....but apparently successfully fulfill my desire & its all because of crossdress, as in the end I never stop myself from repeating this
