"..To encower must be to induce cowering in others. Martin Gibson has not had that effect, in all honesty."

amos, to get back to the name of this thread (outbreak of honesty) i will now break out with something personal and honest. in doing so i will also break one of my own rules and say something which may call down the wrath of the real martin gibson.

martin, your continual outbreaks of negative assaults on various people here in the cat, i personally at one stage found very distressing. i have never said this before because i didn't want to get on your list of nasties that you want to hate.

i come in here to have fun, not to read a bucket of vitriol as it flies past. so now i don't read your comments any more, which seems to have solved the prob.

well, ive said it now.
