… as secular Irish men with buzzcuts?

Is there any comparison?

Oh, yeah: They write books as well. 😉

Thanks

Don’t need it, Dillweed! Just poking fun at my own thread gone bad, and paying tribute to a wonderful lady who took the trouble to write me.

As for **you** , you misbegotten piece of shit, learn to forgive and forget. I took my thread to every place offered, and the shithead mods on this website closed down every one of them.

I can take criticism as well as the next person, and I will admit when I am wrong, but this time _someone_ got out of bed without any pussy, and decided to take it out on me and my thread, and that sucks big-time.

Not that I think it will do any good, because you already have your mind made up, but do a search on my name and see what you find.

Thanks

Such language, and in **Cafe Society** yet. Shame on you! 😃

**Quasimodem** , you need to cool it. To begin with, you know there’s no insulting other posters outside the Pit. Secondly, you’ve been completely unreasonable about this whole Dan Brown thing–and it was such a minor issue.

At any rate, you’ve racked up a warning for the insults. This thread is closed, and I don’t want you to start any new ones about the subject. Should you continue to be a pain about this, you take the chance of being suspended.
