    As an unbaised observer, I think carolt was clearly just joking and her comment should be seen as such. It was StevieJ (aka Dithering Dad?) who started stirring things and brought up your name, carolt just answered his question in a humourous way and then made sure we all knew she was just joking.

    TBH, I think you need to apologise for being a bit OTT with carolt and take it up with StevieJ. IMHO.

    BTW, carolt, what subject do you teach?

    What he said ... but I was incapable of writing it coherently, so didn't.
    (Probably ... didn't back check the facts precisely item for item, but it sounds about right)

    Perhaps you would like to go over some of her other posts refering to me this week. Or the ones fatpig, nepoleon, etc post at me and thank each other for?

    So If I said I would spit on you if you were homeless.

    Only joking.:eek:

    Honest.

    You take that as a joke? (especially if I had a history of insulting you and support others who insult you?)

    Calm down, it's only a forum. :rolleyes:

    To answer your question. If that person then said "Only joking", I'd take it as a joke and probably just respond in a similar manner. Fat pig and the rest are just poking at anyone who reacts, I think they're quite funny TBH.

    True I should leave it a week so I could rustle something up on a "speak and spell" then dig up the post.

    True next time I will see a "bear" post I will say they are in fear of never owning and are most probably scrotes who will never own a house.

    The forum would be so funny. (see not my idea of funny but if that is funny on here I am more than capable of supplying such wit.)
