I tend to do it a lot on Sheffield Forum, simply because the pitifully low level of understanding about basic economic concepts and current affairs drives me to bloomin' distraction.

On HPC I stand on the shoulders of giants, on Sheffield Forum, I am the giant (yeah, I know, frightening isn't it?).

Curious to know if I'm the only person irritated by this.
To me, it makes them come across as smug and ultimately very stupid.
Or am I just bad-tempered today?

My Blog

Find the right answer, realise you'll never see it in your lifetime, and then advocate it anyway because it's the right answer.

You've got to settle for second, third of fourth best in day to day life more often than not. There is no reason to accept anything but the best in your thinking, however. The only real personal issue is it requires you to completely give up on the idea that you will ever be all that free yourself. Accepting you can do nothing to sway tens of millions of people with muddleheaded notions any time soon is the first step to actually fixing stuff properly.

Ty, Shipbuilder.

Historically a Labour Stronghold?

Oddly yes.

I think the real problem is that what economic news they get is from the newspapers and TV news, which I find to be very shallow compared to what's available on the internet.

might be a sign for you to knock forums on the head for a while.

This is an example of how a smiley can be deployed to highlight poor English - in a more than slightly knobbish manner.

Spelling help

The plural of forum is usually spelled forums; the plural fora (as in the original Latin) is chiefly used when talking about a public square in an ancient Roman city.

(sample use of smiley to scorn spelling/grammar-correction fails)

Would have been a right kerfuffle for them. G their manhoods out with those gloves and heavy suits on. I imagine, in all likelihood that your average storm trooper would more often than not be covered in his own (and other peoples) piss for most of his shift on the Star.

Lucas didn't tell us that did he!
