No but I don't see nearly enough of you, why don't you pop round later for tea and scones? You know how you always say I make the best tea in England, the trick is pouring the water onto the tea leaves from exactly the right height while singing God save the Queen, the proper English way of making tea. What I find most wonderful about you, VT, is the way you stand up to bullying fools who've had their heads filled with dangerous nonsense and go around trying to stuff the same rubbish into everyone else's head. I do hope you can come, I look forward to seeing you walking through my standard size doorway.

So, we have a love story beginning here.

Good luck to you !

Forest Gump was a nice fellow, he was simple-minded, he was in the army, he did no harm.
Would you call him a redneck ?
Should we refrain from the word redneck out of respect for people like Forest and use instead a neutral insult like for example "dumb-bell" ?

Hardly beginning, I've been an admirer of VT for a long time. If you're talking about thedick and the Wicked Witch of the South, I don't know how long that's been going on.

I see you have your own pet name for thedoc.

Who is the Wicked Witch of the South ?

I daren't really say any more for fear of being branded as something ending in "ist".

Oh dear. The diabolical triplets are sharing non-diabetic cakes together. Can you think of a more horrifying spectacle than Thedic, F*x, and Ican't in the same room together?

Immanuel and fux needling each other with passive aggressive politeness while carelessly tossing scraps to thedog, sitting obediently, open mouthed, next to the table.

I believe the politically correct term to use is 'dingbat'. Of course, next week it could be chowderhead.

Harbal, have you lost your sense of irony, or is this a masterpiece of self-deprecation?

I'm sure I don't know what you mean, uwot. Please tell me how I've deprecated myself so that I can try and undo it.

I wish you and IC would stop, if you keep it up I won't be able to get through the doorways in my house, and we have all 3' doorways.

I wish IC would stop, too!

I wish all three of you would stop.

Is that the love between Harbal and VT? Because there is definitely something there. It might just be a love of hatred they share for others, rather than a love for each other. I wonder that their virtual children will be as petty and personal as they are? Bringing every conversation to a dull thud in their need to insult others?

That coming from somebody who is a faucet of hate mongering.

You first.

It's a deep spiritual thing that transcends mere love, it is something truly beautiful.

What's a virtual child?

their need to insult others?

Only those that deserve it.
