Great rant Pendragon. Like it.
As for picking on you let me just give a short summary of how things happened.
I thought I’d try and break into this Forum by asking a perfectly reasonable question regarding motorists getting out of the way of non emergency ambulances. Being gob-smacked by the belittling, patronising and condescending reply from Yorkie I let him have a couple of barrelfuls. Meanwhile I also shared a little ditty regarding spell checkers and their pitfalls which I though was quite clever of someone to dream up. As it happened it was the same poster and, if I was gob-smacked before, then I was doubly so now because he totally wimped out, saw his A*** and slunk off with tail between his legs (but not to worry though the sly little fox soon slunk back, tail ‘nall, initially with an innocuous question about some property or other but soon back to normal, so that’s alright. Won’t take long to get back to 3K!)
A bit later Fester rolls up and decides it was his duty to wag his finger at me and tell me in effect who not to cross etc. And that, my dear, is where your name came across my bows.
I have found on my travels that small town cliques by the very nature of small town minds and attitudes are always awkward and difficult to ease into. It’s to my detriment in this one that I didn’t treat Yorkie with the due respect so obviously expected of a wise old sage,wit and racounter. However, having gone down the road of full-on attack from virtually the word go then there was nothing for it but to continue in that vein but at the same time leave room for reconciliation. Things soon settled down, as they do, to the occasional small-arms fire, the odd sniper attack from the outliers and the usual befuddled participants who have problems comprehending posts. All expected in such banter, bearable and soon to be forgotten
And there we are are, at your rant. A good one I grant you and there's no doubting its sincerity. Shame though it was ruined by it’s delivery time although I hasten to add that I’m not in any way inferring anything at all you understand. Thing is, no one takes much attention of post closing time outbursts (be they early hours ones or mid- evening as in the case of others!) but I thought I would in your case....seeing as you are a lady. I’ll stay around for a while but we won’t be seeing much of each other I think seeing as I won’t be in the 3T Arms that much.Yakky Da
