Guest, actually I also responded to Good King Willy, in part because I liked his name (How do ye do, Private William McBoyne...nowait, that's not quite right...) Of course I hadn't Sussed him Out with the old clickie-checkie. Guess I just haven't got my mind right about Trolls yet, being rather a shallow-running Crankbait meself. But speaking of right minds, if Forum Lurker is simply *bored* out of his wits, what then is the underlying cause of poor Willy's witlessness? Ah well, that's a no-brainer. Now whatever do you mean about Flames Wars. Goodness. :)

Willy my man, if *you* had "liberated us from the landowner" you wouldn't have had to have the National Land League to put down your pride. With glorious consistency you remain resolutely wrong about the unmixed blessings of industrialism, as also about the Celtic Tiger, the parades, the underachieving papists, DeValera, Churchill's culpability for Hitler's imperialist aggressions (astonishing, that one, especially from a purported anti-fascist); and finally about Sorefingers's Complaint -- ya got the wrong member (so to speak) there; yer man (hint) has nae fingers, but paws. :) / Howsoever. To give the Divil his due, you got a point about the Jew & Presbyterian. Yes, your forefathers probably *did* believe that their expropriation of Ulster was divinely ordained. But let us let bygones be bygones. Don't worry, be happy: for the springtime it is coming, and you'll bloom once again someday. :)

Peace,
Queen McBrian na Boru
