'Name calling is the second last resort of a person who has no better argument to advance, and this thread is bigger than MtheGM.'

Actually, Lox, I accept this reproach. I was only attracted to the word 'pillock', in fact, [which as i told Kendall is really quite a vanilla word, and not part of my general vocab of abuse] as stylistic device, a bit of alliteration with "Pignant" & 'patronising' — your having informed me in somewhat lordly fashion that I was 'beginning to get it' or some such having got on not a million miles from my tits. But I will acknowledge it was not a particularly worthy or brilliant bit of argument on my part.

Still don't think you are right, mind — must say I think many of your arguments wilful & frivolous. I think Lighter has put the points well in his last post. But you are hereby officially cleared of any suspicions or accusations of pillockry.
