Sure you did, Englander.  Sure you did.

:

No, but I imagine virtually everything reminds you of your favourite
fantasy...

:You see, you've made a bad mistake in assuming that you can bull*** a
:Scottish group into thinking that you're an intellectual hero who
:stands head and shoulders above the ignorant peasants posting here.
:

Just what are you gibbering about now?

:
:Scots are very likely among the best educated people in Europe and the
:qualifications of this group once made it the best read group on
:Usenet.
:

Then you and Adam showed up and it was downhill from there...

:
:Scots are also famous for their love of wandering around the world,
:which they honestly believe is their world, and not just the property
:of paranoid peoples who think it belongs to them. You fit that
:paranoid picture perfectly, with your arrogant assumption that you can
:teach us anything. Most of us know far more about your country than
:you know about ours, even though we discuss our country and its
:problems honestly and frankly, because you have been so busy hacking
:at various members of this group.
:
:You might also ask yourself about your penchant for posting little
:homilies to end each patronising post.
:

Poor Englander.  Still doesn't understand that using such things in
.sig files long predates HIS advent on the scene.

:
:I already drove you into a fury
:by correcting one of your homilies -
:

Fury?  Really?  Wow, you must REALLY think you matter.

It's only Usenet, son.  Get over your bad self.

:... which one, I cannot remember, but
:I want to assure you that most of us are already familiar with the
:bulk of them. By posting them over and again, it becomes clear that
:your intent is to use them as a way of underlining your intellectual
:qualifications to a group which is about as intellectual as one can
:find.
:
:We are a literate people with a low tolerance for the illiterati. You
:might respect that fact. Many of us are also well-travelled and you
:own country considers us the best immigrants it has ever welcomed to
:its shores, underlining that belief by creating a special day to
:honour the Scottish contribution to the United States.
:
:The Wandering Jew and the Wandering Scot are parallel figures in the
:world's history. From Borneo to Beijing and Montreal to Moscow, you
:will find Scots. They ride the pampas of Argentina and the cattle
:country of Wyoming. There is even a Gaelic language cowboy song which
:one hears occasionally at ceilidhs. The Scottish contribution to
:science has often been a subject of amazement to those who did not
:know how powerful that contribution has been. Even the BBC once
:broadcast a program about Scottish scientific achievements and it went
:on endlessly. Many of the people posting here are scientists, and I
:have no doubt, have learned little or nothing from your self-promoting
:posturing.
:In other words, you are constantly out of your depth.
:
:You may now consider this flyting (scolding) over, but I do hope it
:has given you some food for thought. I'm quite sure than underneath
:all the snapping, there is a perfectly decent fellow who somehow got
:confused about his role here. If you want to learn about Scotland and
:its affairs, there are many here who will be happy to lead you through
:the various aspects of our culture. But please don't try to take us on
:as adverseries, because among our many other qualities, revenge and
:pay-back are very marked, as you must have noticed when various trolls
:have annoyed us.

:There is a Gaelic proverb (there is always a Gaelic proverb) which
:says
:"Faodaidh fearg sealltainn a stigh air cridh an duine ghlic, ach
:còmhnaichidh i an cridh an amadain.
:(Anger may look in on a wise man's heart, but it abides in the heart
:of a fool.)
:Think about it and lay your anger aside.
:

Anger?  You ARE eaten up with self-importance, aren't you?  You're the
one who seems to be filled with hate and venom.

So, just who did you plagiarize all that from?
Myself. Unlike you, I don't need help to write coherently.
And unlike you, neither Adam nor I are fools.
A fact which I see spurs you to even more juvenile remarks.

As for you being in the USN, I don't believe you.
