You Couldn't Make This Shit Up

[colonel]

What cunts they are.

Seeing he's a Liberal, his surname will be pronounced 'Camp Bell' - because most of them are

[JonnyHungwell]

Only gay posh gits would pronounce it Raif, luvvie.

Leedasha?

Urban myth.

[Sam Slater]

Urban myth, you say?

Well, Steve R does have a soft spot for UFOs and the like.

[jj]

Urban myths, almost by definition, tap into a current vibe.
In this case, the wild inventiveness of Afro-American forenames.

For somebody that claims to be the innocent little chappie (most of the time) Sam I think you have tried to put the boot into a few of "our" regular members recently ... of course no doubt you will gloss over these instances when you next demand an apology from the next person (probably Colonel lol) that calls your bluff. So please tell us what has Steve R. done to deserve this latest swipe from your good "innocent" self??

[Steve R]

Yes, there is an urban legend that the story is an urban myth.

There is, furthermore, said to be a rumour that the legend is without foundation. Most commentators, however, regard the rumour as apocryphal.

[jj]

That's just an old wives' tale.

I have? Who would they be, and more importantly, if I have, how am I different to you and a lot of other posters?

Or you will highlight and aggrandise them, yes?

You've lost me. I remember asking for an apology but those posts were deleted during my absence. That inclines me to believe that colonel's original remark, or my reply, or a further reply I didn't see was against the FAQs. I don't know any more than that regarding this instance.

Again, you've lost me. Is stating that Steve R has a soft spot for UFOs considered a 'swipe' now? I suppose it would be a swipe if the person it was directed at didn't believe in UFOs and other such nonsense. Steve, however, while I wouldn't assume that he does believe, I am confident in stating that he does indeed have a 'soft spot' for them (if you understand the turn of phrase). I fail to see how my statement could be seen as a swipe if it is indeed true.

Now, crofter, as I have done on numerous times in the past, I could make you look foolish by dipping into the many, many swipes you've aimed at people in the past. And the archives only host the posts that weren't deleted by the mods. Fear not, though, for I realise that you seem to be immune to embarrassment and so it would be a pointless task.

I doubt that any of this (that being truth) will change you attitude and behaviour, though, but I felt I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't respond.
