I'll reply to that in a totally non-abusive manner, thus.

Continually telling people that they are losing or admitting defeat, as you have done hundreds of times, is abusive.

Accusing us of driving people away, when at the same time calling for the return of the most abusive person to disgrace this forum in years, is abusive. In spite of hundreds, if not thousands, of his abusive posts you did not, to my recollection, upbraid him once. We can perhaps only conclude that that was because he was your brother-in-arms.

Telling people you've never met that they are inadequate is abusive.

Now I have a turkey carcass to dismember and a pudding to steam. Why don't you toddle off and reflect on the hypocrisy of your recent remarks. Do note that I'm not calling you a hypocrite here, but I am saying that there is hypocrisy in your remarks.

As today is my onomastico, my namensfeier, my namenstag, my imieniny, I shall indulge in as little controversy as possible from hereonin. And yes, my full first name is spelled with a "ph." I'm hoping for cake and Bual.
