Well done Stephen.
Must be proud of yourself having a go at the Special Olympics


No, just using them as an example of how simple it is to make bad assumptions
about others on UseNet, anbd how idiotic it is to argue with folks you don't
know.

Yes, the picture makes fun of the Special Olympics, which is not kind. My
apologies.
The analogy, badly put though it may be, still holds. Here we had/have two
guys arguing, who in all likelihood have never met face to face, or spoken on
the phone, each convinced he is right, and neither is ever going to convince
the other of their fallacies.
It will degenerate into a "he said" "she said" thing soon, and then there will
be quiet for a while until someone starts another unprovable argument.
So, what is the point of the arguing? Are you really going ot get a warm,
fuzzy feeling if you win? Is there a prize (apart from the ego thing)?

You have just demonstrated the sort of person you are..
The submarine service could do with your help They need deckhands !


And you have just demonstrated the sort of person you are. Nice job.

Yes. I stick up for the people who through no fault of their own have
physical and/or mental disabilities and very bravely get on with life.
They don't need the jeers and predudice demonstrated in your post.
And okay you apologised.
Now, you have attracted my attention I shall lurk awhile and read the
