Heir Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 maybe you & cath&kim could start your own forum that would suit you 2 betta? I'm sorry, what? The point I was making was how this thread has veered off track... That's all, thanks for your idea though. Get better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Since I know both Dave and Stella I will have to buy both books! I know both know their subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't know Dave but the book looks like an excellent read! I can't wait for Stella's book though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Please don't feed the animals as it can make them grumpy. The book should be very informative and written by someone with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coelacanth Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 the thread was indeed taken off topic because of your original sig but marklb did mention the book in his original post the thread was then kept off topic by your response and subsequent replies That may very well be true, however I simply agreed with MarkLB's assessment of himself, suggested he read the book, and also suggested a way in which to improve himself given his own opinion of himself as he stated. You may note that I referred to the book myself in that post so by your own reasoning it was no more off-topic than MarkLB's response. (By the way livingart, I do include you in the 1% of the initial signature percentage I gave Other people can come to their own judgement of where they fall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Perhaps they are. One thing I have learned is where I like to spend my time and it's not playing 'I'm smarter than you' games. My last words in this thread......Enjoy your time on the forum, I look forward to your future postings. I, on the other hand, love to indulge in what livingart calls "mental sparring" (I think "mental fencing" has a nicer sound to it though). It's what separates us from the animals - the stupid ones at least Sad to see you bow out so soon, I doff my hat to you good sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 You are kidding me coelacanth, right? Where did you get the statistic 99% from? Yes, I know I shouldn't be feeding the troll but seriously, I cannot ignore that. :evil: If you are going to participate please try to keep up. This is of course a completely random number of absolutely no mathematical value - the reason being that it is very obviously a direct reference to the original (also imaginary) 99% statistic. You have a point there Sam, he may be good at spelling but his maths skills suck. As per the above. If you do not understand a concept it's probably better not to draw attention to that fact by trying to be clever about it. You cannot best me with stupidity. Ah, emoticons. Along with acronyms, the refuge of those who lack the ability to indulge in word-play. But, well, it is Dixon after all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Finally some people are discussing the book, at least a little bit. Please continue. I do like Caryl's signature incidentally. I may have to use it myself in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm all for exaggeration but when it's taking a stab at people on here (of which far more than 1% can spell) it's not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 there are many ways of viewing what someone has posted and being human beings it is very hard to leave our emotions to one side mental sparring or mental fencing some would argue their is more subtlety in fencing but there is also finesse in the art of pugilism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketman Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 @ coelacanth: The only thing worse than a troll, is a troll that thinks that they are superior to every one else and sits on thier high horse glancing down on everyone. Then, when confronted, tries to diverge and dismiss the real fact that they have offended some people. Then, cannot simply apologise, but rather continue with thier megalomaniac and elitist remarks and putting down other members of the forum. If this is how you want to make your "Come-back", I think that you will find youself very much ousted and ignored. Indeed, whether you chose to let that affect you or not, is on your own head. I assume the remark you will make right about now is something along the lines that you don't care since "99% of [us] are morons" If you so believe that most of the people here are morons, let me direct you to the "X" at the top right of the screen. I doubt that, if this sort of behaviour is how you wish to continue to conduct yourself, you will be missed. Also: The book looks good! And my coffee table needs something new.

However as you imply I have offended 99% of the forum then I shall indeed apologise for having offending you Cricketman p.s. are you really such a fan of mine that you believe me to be making a “Come-back”?
