  • 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!
