When a musician of the stature of Dick Gaughan
On Usenet, I have exactly the same stature as everybody else -
someone posting to a newsgroup.
Mr Gaughan, I am not ignorant, I am not an idiot, and I am not a
troll!!!!!
Why did you presume from my description that I was refering to
you? (That was what we call "humour", by the way)
Just a small hint as to why people failed to applaud your posts.
In these parts we have quite a few Yorkshire and Scots folk (not
to mention the odd Geordie.) Now neither are exactly famed for
tolerance, and we tend to be fairly blunt with people who come
stomping in regurgitating tedious stereotypes that most of us got
tired of politely indulging about 30 years ago.
Now, if there was something sensible you wanted to discuss, you'd
find you get a completely different reaction and perhaps even a
welcome.
