Oetzi, I know you're intelligent, because your short posts are incisively provocative (heh heh.. the fall-out is always quite amusing). Why, then, do you insist on posting comments about other threads completely out of context, in un-related threads?

For example, in a thread about Tea, you have asked me to post my thoughts on ID cards, in relation to a completely different conversation-thread.
If you want me to make comments about ID cards, then please post such comments on that ID-card thread, or leave me a message via my personal space.

Look! I'm telling you off! Ha ha! Did I write in a properly haughty manner? smiley - biggrin

Still, unless you're actually pursuing a situationist irrational artistic literary policy, could you show some decorum and keep such comments in their respective threads? I mean, why leave comments for me, particularly, in a thread about tea, when you want my comments about identification cards, in a very different thread concerning ID cards.

It is annoying some people, and I know that people won't say anything until they've had more than enough.

Do you think you'd be able to do that? Keep posts relevant to the conversations you're posting to? For me? Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase?

Astro, you been doing some digging around too?

Oetzi got me curious.

Sparadic behaviour.

Posts out of context.

Attempts at causing arguments?

Strange code.

Same through many posts it seems. Without wishing to be rude, when no other explainations been given (and people seemed to have asked in their own ways) I assume it must be an attention thing. Getting people curious, asking questions, is there a hidden meaning or isn't there - that sort of thing. Nice ego boast? Proving a point maybe?

Well, if that is the explaination then I fell for it.

If not, then well I guess I am genuinly missing the point.

Just curious you understand?

Peace y'all! smiley - winkeye

hey Oetzi... I see you've chosen not to respond yet. I want to apologise directly to you for asking you to stop "f*cking around". It was too harsh and abrupt; I was drunk, but that's no excuse.. I should know better. So, sorry.

Its no problem, sorry for questioning you.

As I was explaining, however, when someone posts on a forum they open themselves up for questioning. Hence if something contraversial or strange or aggresive is posted, then as its up for view by all (and by people who don't know the poster) it causes a stir. Hence people ask questions as thats why we are on the forum in the first place. Worth bearing in mind.

Just to let you know why I was sticking my nose in!

Take it easy.
