    He does it to me too, its a shocking endightment of my mild compulsive behaviour that I keep writing justified points, which just get ignored with an emotive putdown

    Sorry old chap. But this is a forum not a way of life. You could just ignore me and save yourself the anguish.

    Don't worry Animus; he's either a troll, or not as smart as he likes to think he is If someone is unable to respond to your comments or arguments, whatever the reason, it can be thought of as their conceding the point.

    Weak goading.

    "Unable to respond to" and "chooses not to respond to" are different things. I prefer discussion with value.

    In which case, I'm helping you to ignore me.

    Re: Election TV debates ....

    It's pretty unfair to begin an argument then refuse to follow through with justification. I can see no real reason for you not to, therefore it's logical for me to assume that you are unable, rather than unwilling, to do so.

    It's a nice excuse, but I suspect everyone here sees through it. You just keep telling yourself that, though! I'd be more inclined to believe it if you didn't get involved at all, rather than initially getting involved in these debates, and then backing out half way through without responding to any of the points.

    This is kind of the 'problem' I have. I've a plathora of learning difficulties, dyslexia been the most obvious, short term memory for names and numbers. However my logic and problem solving abilities, well they come with some baggage, I get almost axcious if there is something I'm trying to understand which isn't demonstrating simple rational traits. Even the most complex structures are a collection of simplicity at its atomic level after all.This is also why I'm so well adjusted to software design, happiness of a perfect solution is amazingly euphoric.

    Works the other way I'm afraid, I'm compelled to bring rationality to the situation, the easiest way is to write you off which is what I've been chastised for in the past, trying to pigeon hole into "does it to wind me up", "does it because he is thick", "religious zeal"

    I will continue to enjoy myself at this forum in a manner that does not contravene the rules. You can simply ignore me if you prefer. I started an argument?

    I do my best to understand, and make allowance, for your weaknesses, perhaps you ought to offer me the same respect?

    If only there was an ignore option

    note that this is nothing personal - I just don't want to waste time reading your posts if I know you're not inclined to back them up if challenged.

    Re: Election TV debates ....

    Is this going to be advert-free even though its on ITV ?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
