Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

You have made some good posts in the past but the attitude you are now
putting forth in this thread is garbage, full of snide commentary and a
pathetically veiled attempt at equally ill-considered innuendo.

Who are the lazy slugs, Paul ... And what do the references to masturbating,
slugs & cripples imply about your own world view, which I note is not shared
by others who on this list at least show somewhat more respect for others by
not seeking to be so confrontational & insulting in their attitudes to
others. None of these comments have a place here and I for one don't intend
to allow you to drag this forum down.

If you have an opinion that's fine, if it involves insulting and degrading
remarks that don't assist or have relevance to the content of the thread
then who of us cares to listen, not many I think.
