I blame all this on modern music - it rots the brain; and if you play modern music for a living, it doubly rots the brain.

But surely the paragraph has been edited by deleting part of it so it can be taken out of context. Why should editing only apply to a sentence and not to a full comment? Just because a sentence is taken in full if the other sentences around it are not quoted then it does not necessarily come across as the poster was intending.

No. Quotes don't work like that.

You don't hear people saying 'It's an edit' when they repeat lines from Shakespeare; they say 'It's a quote'. They don't have to repeat the whole sonnet/play/act for it to be quoted.

Its not only his spelling, but his stupidity that gives it away I know, but well spotted

Best to just blank him like his former selves, up until he eventually befalls the same fate as his failed alter-predecessors, rather than whistle to him

Yes, those are a giveaway, but it was really his persistence in the face of overwhelming evidence contrary to his bizarre beliefs that made me wonder.

Still and all, you have to admit he's a trooper. And if he gets off on getting up the noses of people more intelligent and better-informed than him, then he must be very happy indeed, because he has succeeded!

I guess its only effective if allowed to get up ones nose, I certainly don't see him a trooper, maybe a pooper scooper (the aroma might get up ones nose), yet the only thing that ever succeed's is a beakless birdie

Till goes ping for another reason with certain medicines. Usually thing that contain certain ingredients you can only buy two of them without going to the pharmacy. So if you only got one that is fine.
