Mmmm... I see that nothing's changed much in the years where I've been largely inactive. I look at this thread... No appearance in the first 24 posts, then 17 in the next 52. Yep. That seems about par for the course. Plus never conceding a point, admitting to an error... Gentles! We do not have an SI unit of internet forum debate! I think we should. The question is what we should call it. The Weasel seems very obvious - always wriggling & slippery, always trying to bite... But it's rather pejorative, never mind being unfair to weasels who are, after all, only trying to make a living.

I propose the KAH. In homage to our very own Keith Acheson, Hertford (of). Never wrong (not least because any point challenged that can't be refuted can be ignored). But not only that, the thread in question must also be flooded with responses from the same poster, thus demonstrating how inarguably right he is!!! How the heck you define that scientifically, I would not care to suggest, but it's the starting point for debate.

Yes, Keith, this is sarcasm. It also possibly amounts to a personal attack. But since it is also a statement of the blindingly obvious, I don't expect the mod's to take exception to it. If I did, I wouldn't waste their time in posting it. This is what you are. This is what you do. You will see no humour in it, but others will. Hard luck. I could compare you with one or two other 'Catters'. Roger springs to mind particularly. Do you never stop to wonder why so few people agree with you, whether it's you that's making a poor argument, rather than everyone else just being thick?
