  • Maaaaaaaate.
    I don't know why I do it. Because it's habit? Because picking on stuff you used to do but do less of now is a habit hard to break?

    I am guilty of the regurgitation as fact: I've stated it two pages up.

    I suppose its the same as "statto = Damo".

    I'm not doing it to get a response. I didn't realise it was getting under your skin so much. I'll endeavour to stop. SRS.

    As for lazy, not amusing, and plain annoying: the same could be said about "pooch" "the sheriff" "referring to anyone you doing know by a nickname made up by yourself you might not use in front of them"

    I am not trolling but some of the stuff you write provokes a response (which is good isn't it?) And I respond.

    Here: if it's getting you down, I didn't know. I'll make an effort to stop saying "guardian". Ok?
    However, I'm going to respond to the stuff that winds me up. Because if I saw you in the pub, I'd fucking tell you.....

  • The guardian thing is annoying because to my mind it's not true. Since as far as I'm aware, and you may do the search to prove me wrong, I've always tried to give credit, where it's due and linked to the original source material, which not many others do.

    But what gets me is that it's like ASM and the arrospok thing, it was an incorrect statement that wouldn't die, and as valid and funny as it was at the beginning, when strangers to you and the thread, start using it, it gets old real quick. Which is what to my mind has happened here.
    I don't push back with this because otherwise I'm heading down the whole @MultiGrooves route of kicking in an angry rebuttal to what many feel is an injoke, and I've got no fucking time for that. Because it takes too much energy and just gives strength to the thing.

    You want to dig about the sheriff, nicknames, fine I'll shoulder that weight, I like them, it's about my team and I'll take the "bants" on that because it IS something I do. The guardian thing is another matter as it dismisses what I've written as not being original, my own thoughts, or my own work, and as a person whose been paid to write, had articles and novels published, and had my work taken and not been credited for it, I take deep offense to that.

    Anyway back to world cup chat and whether it's coming home!
