Subject: RE: BS: A word that means more than stupid
Little Hawk, I'm very surprised at the tone of your more recent posts. I've always really enjoyed seeing 'Little Hawk' on the list of posters, and hurried to see what you've said, as you're always so considered, interesting, fair and informative. But now you appear to be rather acid and bitter, and I'm wondering why this drastic alteration? In reply to your points, I don't feel we in UK are tormented by 'deeply suppressed anger and rancorous bitterness'. Our country has its problems, as does any other, but I've always felt we are, on the contrary, a cheerful and tolerant set of folk. That song 'Always look on the bright side of life, de-dah, de-dah-de-dah-de-dah' just about sums us up. The resounding success of the recent Olympics ( as judged by all the visiting nations) were IMO a testament to our national character.
