Possibly so. According to some, we are all "playing a
character."

His rants were about the US Government, not the American people (they
are NOT the same).


They were also about how (for example) there is no such
thing as a line squall or white squall, and the captain of
the 'Pride of Baltimore' was an incompetent.


Everyone has their limits, he reached his. Personally I think we would
all be better off if he returned.


I'd agree, as long as he didn't start acting like a raging
arse again.


We could tempt him with some Wensleydale, Red Liecester, Japanese Sage
Derby, Cerphilia,...

Thanks.
Perhaps I should portray my disagreements with Navvie as
some kind of "him or me" scenario, that way I could appear
victorious and tough. Doesn't fit the reality of usenet though.

with the business of clubbing Ole Blubber Boy like a Harp Seal.


Isn't that kind of undignified?
