Utter, utter bull****. I won't "admit" I'm wrong in this because I
manifestly am not wrong. It's not rocket science no matter how much you try
to spin it.

I guess you're right, Andy.

He just seems pathetic now.

Whining and bleating that he is right when it's been shown so many
times that he's wrong.

And beneath almost every post his little tag comes up with yet more
posturing, and bleating, and whining.

It's been nearly a fortnight now. When it first started, I thought he
was just a normal person, a bit stuborn, and with a hell of an
attitude problem, but it is now clear that it is so much more than
that.

But you are right. We're bikers, not SUV drivers. We should be trying
to be supportive to the poor sod, although I don't quite know how we
could go about that.

Have a nice day, DRS. I hope you can get yourself sorted out soon.

Someone asked to be excused for top-posting, I said no, you're not excused
and all hell broke loose. I'm not the one with the problem.

I'm fine. Get back to me when you've done a course in logic.
