As to my other posts I have never ever said that my opinion is the only one, it is at least a two way thing and people are quite at liberty to disagree with me and frankly they often do! I honestly think none the less of them, that is life. Forums like this are for all to discuss points of view and as long as the things being discussed are within the rules and the words used are respectfull then we all might be a tad wiser than when we started, even if we do not end up agreeing.
No, you haven't said that your opinion is the only one, but by God you make sure everyone knows what yours is!
My only beef is that there have been a hundred posts in the past 12 mths in which you've given your opinion (and yes, I realise that you didn't start this one, nor any of the others aside from the poorly conducted F4T tests) and I don't think there is a person on this forum who's been here for three months that couldn't sum up your POV. Why not, now that you've absolutely removed all doubt from people's minds, let the matter rest? You keep writing that "We have an opinion on what you wear/how you wear it/the colour of your hose/height of your kilt/type of sporran/tartan/pleating but we're too gentlemanly/discrete/polite/well brought up/whatever to say it to your face" - I haven't seen much of the "discrete" lately.
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary; for those who don't, none is possible.
