**finn007** , out of curiosity, what’s the basis for your assertion that **TVeblen** is an American? Or that she’s male? Incidentally, I never liked James Joyce. ---

I, for one, would like to know if you’d like to eat some McDonalds while drinking a Coke and listenting to bubble gum pop music and wearing Nikes and invading Iraq. You up for it Finn? ---

> [@](#): > > and it’s quite laughable that YOU believe,you would be doing me an honour by permitting me to stay,provided i behave like a nice little AMERICAN, A quick word before you depart: No one thinks they are doing you any favors. You have been asked to conform to the same level of civility as everyone else on the board. Your constant attempts to bash “AMERICANS” is pretty silly, considering that over half the people you’ve insulted are not citizens of the U.S. You might want to examine why you let your preconceived notions spoil your lame attempts at wit. (You also might want to see someone about that paranoia. We could hardly have set up an ambush for you since we never knew you were coming.) ---

> [@Ice Wolf](#): > > Not questioning that, **furt**. But in that post you’ve linked to, he’s emphasising. But here, and in the Gun thread, what is he emphasizing? That’s what I don’t get. He is obviously angry. All the time. He has not put forth an opinion or support it. He’s just angry. At something. Everything. > [@](#): > > I’ve seen his ALL CAPS posts a year ago, and every so often these days. I figured he’d not quite got the caps lock unlocked. If he says he has a slight disability where his hands aren’t as flexible – yeah, that would explain it. When it was mentioned that Finn may have a disability, I immediately thought – Tourettes syndrome. > [@](#): > > I dunno. I hope he can settle down, realise there are folk here who aren’t a bunch of arseholes out to hammer him down, and get on with things. But I can see his writing style, whatever causes it, is going to confuse the merry hell out of youse. Style? Yammering incoherent, non-responsive gibberish is a style of writing? > [@](#): > > aren’t a bunch of arseholes out to hammer him down Shit. He brought the hammer and treated everyone else like a nail. He refuses to be civil or answer simple questions. ---

fin007 - this ( and the IRA terrorist thread ) have really made my day. Really funny. I dont understand a lot of what you write, but it is funny. What is Sligo like this time of year? The closest i got was sailing past Sligo Bay and seeing the wierd spaceship style water tower ( is that what it is ?) through the binoculars. Thats a cracking bit of country you got there. Sin ---

Incidentally, for a guy who hates the U.K., he sure picked an odd username suggesting as it does a British action hero. Fare the well, finn007. We hardly knew ye, and the part of ye we knew was a right royal asshole. ---
