Directly abusive post

Or maybe if he ever directed his abuse right, even - you know, attacking someone on grounds where it might take. His usual accuracy and incision is summed up by one of my favourite ever ILE posts: "You don't get out much, do you, Ronan?" (from memory so maybe not 100% accurate) There are loads of areas where I am terribly insecure, but the two where Calum has chosen to attack me is 1) that I have no interest in sex, and 2) that I haven't read much - these are hardly better grounds than the Ronan example.

We all know he's not very clever, and a very unpleasant and rather tragic figure, and most of us are just laughing at him (except obviously when he tries to be funny, when he is generally repetitive and predictable and tedious), apart from the most kind-hearted, who pity him (there are only a couple of these, as far as I know) and the most irritable, who want him banned. This would involve switching to registration for posting, and I personally am still a little way short of taking that step over someone who is mostly just looked on with contemptuous amusement. If another mod decides that's the line to take, obviously no one will mourn his loss and I won't argue with them. Or if Millar tells me he shouldn't have to tolerate such vicious personal abuse, even from someone as trivial as that, I guess I should take notice.

My education would state otherwise Skidmark and judging from the thread and people's lack of interest in such things as what they eat or use cosmetically I'd say I'm the only one here with a heart and a brain. Oddly enough, in the real world I've never been accused of not being intelligent - and it's something that people like about me. At least everyone I've met and hit it off with.

But fuck it, ILX aint worth my time anymore. Looking at Ned's pic and reading his hack work in his shitty mag (can't mind it's name but a mate of mine reads it and oh did we laugh) and being a number 1 poster with no life... Jesus. Get out people. This is a waste.

Sorry Ned, I should've said ... C-Man was being baited by most everyone else on the thread. It seems like the same ole, same ole to me, is all ...

Okay, I'm out of the bag here. But, as a cat, I'm totally offended that you'd make the assumption that he intimidates me intellectually, Martin.
