    Why should I? If it was a one of maybe.

    The answer to that is another question.
    "Do you think it is worth it?"

    Sometimes, ignoring things means you get less frustrated and the source of frustration will post less frustrating personal comments

    Well I have tried it once but like a un-lanced boil on the @ss of humanity she still seems to come back.

    Right i will just report them instead. It does not help the site we will end up in discussion time.

    Report away.

    Anyone looking back at this thread can see exactly who started it.

    You want carte blanche to be rude to me eg see last post - delightful metaphor - at your usual profound level - yet call foul if I make a joke at your expense.

    Diddums.

    And don't think I haven't noticed your attempts to get rid of me - but it is not in your power.

    I'll come and go as I please.

    If you don't like my company, go away.

    BTW, I don't bother reporting your posts. You're too insignificant to matter. :)

    Maybe... but my point being current generous welfare entitlements encourage more and more of the same problem. The slum-culture you are soft-hearted over, and expect others to be sympathetic to, just gets ever worse over time. With benefits sometimes bettering a lifestyle a person could get in employment...

    I totally agree.

    Like I said, wrong kind of incentives.

    My point was that incentives are only half the story.

    Of course it was an attempt at humour:), the response kind of detects the underlying anger.:D

    As I said I keep away from the name, but it seems like someone as one big chip on their shoulder and can't stop trying to cause a reaction.

    PS Carol the boil comment humorous metaphor. honest:)

    Like I said, too small a fish to fry.

    So Really, please share with usyour views on the OP.

    Or indeed soup.

    Or indeed, anything other than me.

    You don't like me, I don't like you either.

    Everyone's grasped that now.

    Time to move on. :)

    Oh, it looks like Really has gotten a bit hot under the collar yet again. I sincerely hope that no-one has mentioned Really2's disastrous new-build purchase again. He really doesn't like that. ;)

    Carol what lovely company you keep, your own thanking buddy team.

    You may even get dervish if you start calling me an immigrant.:rotfl:

    You do realize it actually looks like you are fatpig and its many logons.

    Are you a teacher too fatpig?

    We can agree on that so avoid mentioning me (because in case you don't notice I don't mention you as I don't do cross thread taunts) and I can merrily avoid your posts.

    "Soup kitchens" used to invoke images of the 1920's a stage in history we will never go back to.

    Slaves to our imagination the truth is now most people on the face of earth are actualy better of than in the 1920's
