You seem to be the stupid one. The reason _posting style_ was within quotation marks is because I was referring to your use of it in the previous post. I wasn’t suggesting I had one. ETA. And before you say “I only used the word **style** ”, it was obvious you had to be referring to the perceived manner which you think I post in. ---

No, but I expect you’ll keep trying to drag the unfunny joke out for as long as possible. That’s part of the pathology of people who aren’t as funny as they think they are because to them, if a joke doesn’t get a laugh, it means they simply haven’t been persistent enough. ---

I dont know Ivan from Adam, not my friend, not my foe… But I think some people in this thread are acting like fucking dickheads, and should really take a look at themselves. _This stupid signature has been approved, so haha fuck you Thats not my name. Thats not my name._ ---

Have fun venting. I made it pretty clear upthread, I believe, that your assessment of me is not something of importance. I’ll spell it out for you though: It’s interesting to me that ivan has several UK-vicinity noobs who all joined withing a couple months of him rushing to his defense. Members who don’t frequently post. One of whom hasn’t posted at all recently except to jump into threads where ivan was at odds with me. It’s just interesting. ---

**Scumpup** (good name - minus the pup) Just because you raised a posse with pitchforks and tar doesn’t mean that everyone is as childish as you. Based on a post upthread, I see that you and at least one of your cronies discussed this off the boards. Do you think people in the British Isles all know each other or hold the same opinions? Do you think that your comments would inspire someone to actually contact another person and ask them to support their post position? ---

I presume you are including me in this as I note **Ivan** and I joined the same month, I don’t have a huge post count (at least compared to him), and I am in the UK vicinity (at least I’m from there and live in the same continent). Once again, what exactly are you suggesting? Either say something concrete or stuff the snide remarks where they belong, because they’re a crappy way to try and win an arguement.
