Pedantic pratt.

Uncalled for, and adding nothing to the discussion.

True, but I read what I believe he meant. It's called 'thinking about what you read, and not just blindly taking it literally'. To suggest that all settled people are thieves and spreaders of rubbish is clearly ludicrous


Regarding both the above quotes. Jim himself has already accepted his meaning was unclear.
Re-writing the sentence slightly:
"Some settled people are thieves and spreaders of rubbish, as are travellers."
Would you have accepted that I was not trying to tar all travellers with the same brush?
