Leon, I am not the poster police and you can post as you like within the rules but perhaps a simple:
"I'll take Plato or Galileo ;D"
would have sufficed as a response to Coburg. A comeback that is consistent with your position and defence of the Hammer and a diffuser of tension.
I'm sure Coburg would have copped something like that in good grace and then maybe some common ground might be found with him and others on other topics.
I accept your advice in good faith, but try to acquire some objectivity too, Lamby. You can see from my recent posts, like with the bit of to and fro with Evo and Antman, it was mostly pretty light-hearted. Given Hampo's LTI, it's all fairly by-the-way now. I was happy to leave it all at my 'momentarily' post. Just joking around. Next Coburg wades in with his philosophical crap, soon followed by TT.
Then you suggest I responded 'heavily.' Firstly, I just responded which I think I am entitled to; secondly, if a poster comes up with this kind of conceited gibberish, it deserves a satirical response. Seriously: Plato, Galileo, trees and underpants. Then Grandpa Simpson, yells and clouds. They only forgot the Spanish Inquisition, Monty Python and Steven Hawking. Not sure what 'common ground' you expect me to find here. But you need to realise, I am often having a laugh. My tone is not intended to be taken as 'nasty' or whatever. But free speech means people will say things you may not agree with, like, or interpret as intended.
Sometimes, ridicule is the only response reasonable. The same goes for the "Nank is the new Messiah posts", based on 3 JLT games!! :rofl
Love what he can hopefully bring. But, spare me, he has a whole career to get underway at Tigerland. Hardly begun.
