Mr Kelly, do you actually get outside and interact with real people on a regular basis? Your terse responses seem to indicate you have severe social integration issues.


First up, I've never told you my name, and I don't really care who told you what it was, but I'd rather you didn't call me by since I've chosen an anonymous name here.

Now, I mocked your arguement. You've decided that it's clearly gone beyond that and you have to mock me personally. I rather think this means you are either attempting to bully me into agreeing with you.

Well - I don't, and I'm not going to conceed just because you feel you have to take this to personal insults.

My social life, or life full stop, is a matter for me - not you.

I've hardly been in to the forum this week, thanks to my busy social schedule ... but I can't be arsed to tell you about it.

I mean, considering the amount of messages you leave I imagine it is you that is glued to the PC, not me.

Mr Kelly, thank you for your response.

I suggest you take a look at the number of posts I've made to this forum, and to metropol247 before suggesting I spend most of my time in front of a PC.

As to this "personal attack" - I merely suggested that you do not communicate with people very well - I apologise for highlighting the fact that your responses seem arsey and strained.

Anyway, all I did was simply suggested alternative ways to fund the BBC website. Your own response lacked logic.

As much as your does?

Ugh, I can't be bothered to argue with you.

Clearly anyone else's opinion that differs from your own is wrong, which makes the whole process pointless.

You are one of the main reasons this website had totally gone to the dogs - I can't be the only one who doesn't bother coming here much any more.

What is the value of the weekly payment to a single unemployed person on social welfare in the UK now?

Wouldn't looking into your posts just back up Chris's argument? Metropol's frontpage is frequently a long list of threads created by or last posted on by you.

Any arguments between members stop here - let's get back on track.

So, if the BBC Licence fee became an optional service, how many here would subscribe to the BBC?

Yes, but we all know that this hasn't been your only username and you have posted under another identity in the past. Therefore, the "Lord Wellington" posts aren't the only ones you've made to this forum and so your post count doesn't show the true value of your contribitions.
