    G'day Cliff.
    Instead of using a smiley, I can say that I'm smirking loudly!

    There is one post I did regret a little.

    When I first joined the forum a few years ago. I had a little conversation with SilentC. It was about Triton (of course) and I got a little bit personal with him. The funny thing is we became pretty good mates because of that.

    And 3 years on, he is still wronger than I am and Triton is still useless.

    BTW you guys are all bastards.

    Oops I have been misquoted and misinterpreted again.

    I have never withdrawn a post I have made as I mean what I say when I say it. Even my remarks to Seppo Joe or Aeg20boat were intentional.

    However later in hindsight, and after being called to task by others, I have regretted some of my outbursts and have publicly apologized in those circumstances.

    Ofcourse some moderator has deleted some of my remarks.

    There's been a few times I've regretted, in the cold light of day, things I've posted.

    Sometimes I've even deleted threads I've started.

    I'd just like to state that it's never been my fault, it's allways been down to the red cordial.

    Never pulled one of mine.

    On the other hand have done a lot of others over the last 7 years but I guess that doesn't count.

    That is worse than talking to yourself.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I may have regretted the tone of some of mine but never the message. I've never deleted one.

    Sometimes I'm just having a bit of fun with someone, you know, yanking their chain to get a rise. But sometimes I'm dead serious, like when people spout absolute crappola and wont back down in the face of hard evidence. My mission is to get them to admit they might be mistaken. But I try to restrict myself to challenging their words. In a couple of cases, there are so many things I could have said but held back because I really do try to keep personalities out of it.

    And just so there's no confusion, I expect anybody who sees me spouting similar crap to do the same. Sometimes you learn a lot more from what you don't know. It's hard to swallow the lump and say "yeah, I was wrong about that". You try to work out a way to slant your words so that it seems like you were right all along. Trouble is it's all there in black and white.

    Nothing like a good argument anyway, people who don't like it should put something in their signature like "please don't argue with me, I'm a sensitive soul".

    And yes, Lou, I know exactly who you were thinking about

    That's the key, isn't it? Sometimes it's tempting to attack people who are full of bullshyte, but it only provokes them and seldom changes their viewpoint. (Although I'll admit they can really get your back up.)

    Of course, drivel is drivel, and that's alright. But when it's facts someone needs to know and they are giving misleading information, it is irritating and sometimes unsafe.
    Cheers,

    Bob
