Felonious Monk - h2g2s very own Bogeyman

You asked for people to continue posting at your PS. I have done this, but normally I wouldn't chew the fat in this manner.

Just to clarify my statement: I happen to find it *highly* objectionable that (a) somebody wastes the time of others for their own amusement (b) tells them to 'get over it' when they state they are are annoyed by this behaviour and then (c) claims to be respected because 'they are as much as a volunteer as anybody else'. If I were to have to treat every comment made by everyone I came across at face value then I would have to excuse that last statement. But I don't. We all know that there are some people who work very hard to try to make this site a success, and some who treat it with disdain.

You may also have gathered that I don't really have too much time for what other people think of me, having learned the hard way that one is often damned for inaction as much as action. So it's better to say something and be damned rather than sit shtum.

I notice you've not been too well recently. Neither have I. My time and energy are both extremely valuable to me. So as far as I am concerned, all volunteers are *not* the same, despite what your dictionary may tell you.

Different people choose to spend different amounts of time devoted to different thingd. Unfortunately some spend time making dubious comments and wasting others time. I simply hope to reduce the tme wasted rom now, by essentially closing the thread, making it fall out of everyone's conversation lists.

The tone of my comments may be dubious. The underlying substance is spot on.

Yes. I don't dispute your point of view, although I actually take issue on a slightly different point, which i have attempted to express. I simply feel that the discussion was going nowhere, and so have done my best to defuse it. Is that ok?

Yes, but I don't see why you think you should need my agreement. I just wanted you to understand my viewpoint, not necessarily accept it.
