As far as the acid test is concerned, yes I would. Quote from you ... "The gratuitous insults that are now lingua franca are ruining this list. Caustic, pithy statements are one thing. But to casually label and deliberately insult are another" Unquote In your professional role Mike, how would you describe the comments directed at me from that person? Being over seventy years of age matters not, and should never be used as a an excuse. I would call it childish, and I have had enough of the bloke, as have many others. Basic politeness does not exist in any of Graham Thirkill's recent posts. His main intention is to stir angst and acrimony, and the sooner he is gone (banned) the better. He is stifling participation in any discussions by verbally attacking any thread with his stupid responses. Tell me what part of that is good for this list?
Pete C t'original one ps... MDM is "Mad Doctor Mike", which if it was me would find quite complimentary :) -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Benjamin Sent: 02 November 2017 21:35 To: [email protected]; GRAHAM THIRKILL <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Atrocious Ever thought I'd pressing the delete. Seriously opposite me would you call a 73 year old Doctor MDM? I seriously doubt that. So why run into the gutter here? Graham and I are appalled at the complete lack of basic politeness. I was utterly gobsmacked to hear in a PM that one guy gets a pleasure in riling me. I honestly did not know that. The gratuitous insults that are now lingua franca are ruining this list. Caustic, pithy statements are one thing. But to casually label and deliberately insult are another. Three things I have in common with Thirkers. We are both over seventy, have really seen the ups and downs and well be singing here forever. So FFS, MOT with some respect. The acid test is, would you say to the persons face what you write?
