One of the rules Mr Nutt has for himself is
Do not stand out from the crowd
Page 86/87
Mr Nutt picks up the ball and Glenda says put it down and come away.
He should have listened to Glenda then he wouldn't have stood out from the crowd.
Instead he fails to follow Glenda advice, or his own instructions, and throws the ball smashing the post 150 yards away. :dance:
Failure!
...but you'll probably twist that failure round too, won't you Meeps?

That is the kind of statement that is often made by someone who has no real train of thought, other than, "I AM right, I KNOW what I am talking about, and ANYONE who disagrees with me, is WRONG!"
If LilMaibe chooses to belive that however politely a disagreement is worded, there is an underlying insult attached to it, then anyone who takes part in the debate is just flogging a dead horse.
LilMaibe - people have different opinions and tend not to agree. It doesn't mean that either opinion is more justified than the other. Neither does it warrant you interpreting what is said, as containing an underlying insult.
And for the record, Pyramids is not the best TP book. Books are to be read and enjoyed -they are escapism into another world invented by the author - not carved up and analysed.

I hate having to defend my opinion like this. I'll gladly leave you yours if you'll leave me mine and stop acting as if I'm dimwitted for seeing these errors.

I mean, really? To me it follows that you want people to keep on a conversation with you regardless. I don't think your comments about errors are dimwitted, I think they are superfluous.
Btw, I forgot those things Mr Nutt wasn't very good at. I don't really care that I forgot either.
happy reading
You're not a big reader, are you J-I*b? :dance:
a. Meeps has left the forum
b. You just asked Raptor about his sig. If you look at three posts above this one you'll see Sister Jen asked the same question. And if you look at the previous page of this thread, you'll see I also asked the same question. :dance:
Do try to keep up.
