I'm intrigued...
Everyone finds me intriguing!
Quoted message said:
If you really believe I am a "decent chap" then why have you felt the
need to follow up practically every posting I make on demon.local with
nasty, snide comments? Is that how you behave towards somebody you
consider to be a "decent chap".
I've kicked numerous decent chaps. Being a decent chap doesn't give
you immunity.
So... I believe you're saying that you'll hound or harass someone for no
apparent reason, irrespective of whether they've actually done anything
to harm you?
Feel free to correct me if my interpretation is wrong.
Quoted message said:But I don't do cross-group post-mortems. Take it up in
the appropriate ng.
While you continue to post in manner which breaks the single rule of
that group, I will discuss nothing with you in that group, as you well
know.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:I'm intrigued as to what it is, precisely, that myself and others in
that group have done to you to make you behave in such a manner. Your
following-up to practically *every* post, breaking the one rule of the
group every time (that sigs should be less than 4 lines), your revelling
in the fact that demon.local has practically been flooded to death, your
encouraging of others in that flooding activity, your homophobic
insinuations towards myself, your frankly disgusting behaviour towards
Janie after BHK's death... I could go on.
See above...
Jesus. You really are beyond the pale. You poke fun at someone's
bereavement for what? Your own amusement? No reason at all?

I have been here some time, FWIW.

I very much doubt that you have.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - read more F. Forsyth and
less A. McNab.
I think you might be entertaining some fantasies there... And since you
bring it up, I haven't read anything by McNabb in at least four years.
Why bring him up?
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:>and they are quite sociable
>really. And not a top-poster among them!
Yes we are sociable. You probably will have noticed that we have regular
meets and most of us know each other in real life. And, yes, there is a
difference (sometimes huge) between real-life and newsgroup personas.
And it is for that reason that I made the offer (perfectly genuine, I
assure you) to come out walking next time you're up this way. Maybe the
question I posed above can be sorted out amicably over a bar of Kendal
Mint Cake on the top of Kinder Scout. Or you can carry on as you are...
Up to you, really.
I'm not really looking for any new friends atm, Chris. But I'll bear
your suggestion in mind.
It has nothing to do with "friends". From what I've seen of you, you are
the last person I would want as a friend. I am, however, intrigued, as
I've said. It's my experience that walkers are usually decent people and
I was hoping that maybe you were and your behaviour was due to some
gross misunderstanding that had got out of hand but could be sorted out
in a civilised manner. Now I'm wondering if I was wrong.
Quoted message said:It wouldn't be before mid-January though.
And I'd have to insist that it was done over a smoke and a whisky.
Kendal Mint Cake is bad for your health.
Fine. I'm easy to contact. Please feel free.
Chris, I don't think it's appropriate to discuss the internals of one
newsgroup in a different newsgroup. I expect you feel the same, at
heart. So you may as well drop all that guff. (Look what happened to
Malcolm when he brought dl's stuff into the bird group: he got
exposed!)
Now, to get to the point(s):
Walkers are no different from any other class of people - they're made
up of the good, the bad and the ugly. Same goes for landowners,
licensees and women. Don't expect them to be decent. If that's your
experience then your experience needs to be broadened.
As I said - we can certainly do Kinder. But would you feel
comfortable? Would you feel safe? Would you feel safe with me on Crib
Goch? Have you walked over Crib Goch?
If you're serious, drop me an email. To minimise emissions, I'll pick
you up at home - I draw the line at going in a Polo (-:
And it's on my route, anyway.
You must also realise that I adopt a holistic approach to these
things. The walk itself is an incomplete experience. You'll need to
imbibe as well, and preferably to inhale too.
