You reckon you're a tall poppy? What a conceit!

"Tall Poppy (noun) a person who is pre-eminent in a particular field; a person with great wealth or status."

You're dreaming.

You're none of these things.

You're an egotistical turd.

Which site was it??? Don't tell me it was this one.

I hope you are not critising the "*Tall* *Poppy*"

Yep, that's where he posted his offerings for all to see.

I hear next month he is going to espouse the virtues of lead acid batteries as a power supply.

You mean Leyden Jars are out??

No, I think he's going to advocate flying a kite with a key attached during a thunderstorm...

Simpler to use and wire compared to DC cab control Cheaper than DCC.

Excellent choice for those in remote areas using wind turbines and solar panels.

Penis enlargement pills didn't work, eh?

Knock it off, Mark. You're acting like a 6 year old on a vendetta.

I disagree with Terry on a lot of things, but don't find it necessary to use juvenile insults.

Just me? No-one else? Out of curiosity, since there are a number of parties involved in this vendetta, why is the instruction to "knock it off" only directed at one party?

I don't disgree with him, I dislike him intensely.

Good for you. But again, you seem to be applying a double standard. Or do you not recognise "expert", "broom pusher", "weekend fireman" and "dummy spitter" as being juvenile insults?

Do you feel that the responsibility for _your_ actions relate to a group or are they specifically yours?

"It's not fair, everyone was shouting and I got caught!" That's not a great defense, Mark, it's more an admission of guilt!

Sure, but there are several of you, all aiming insults at Terry. That puts him in the "victim" category, rightly or wrongly.

Greg I think you had better start going though the archives of this group going back to the mid 1990's and I am sure you would change your tune. To my mind he gets as good what he gives.

My point was that (Mark/you) keep giving. That is _your_ decision.

Regards, Greg.P.

So what do you suggest we do instead? Not respond, and allow his lies to go unchallenged?

You have every right to defend yourself against allegations made, but that is rather different to attacking an individual. What I've seen here over a few years is ongoing attacks in both directions, with the difference that Terry is outnumbered. BTW, that is my only judgement in the matter.

Well, it's really degenerated into a gainsaying match with each side hurling insults and accusations and not much else. You're like two cats in a sack, and are obviously never going to get along. Most of us have no way of knowing which of you, if either, is the liar, because each claims that it is the other. It's a classic pissing match without hope of a winner, or even any hope of stopping. Not that I care, I have the choice to read or not read. I only read this bit because I saw Greg Procter's header and wanted to see what he had to say. I more or less concur with Greg on this one. Although I really haven't read every single scrap of the tirades, I've read enough to see that there is no end to it. Have fun, it's going to be a very long haul.

It would be probably wise that we ask Flynn to a few peoples killfile that would probably help.

Mine alone. Just as Flynn must take responsibilty for his actions. It takes two or more people to have a flame war.

It's not intended as a defense, it was an observation. Admission of guilt, as you put it, is not an issue - I've never denied or concealed my distaste for the man.

How do you figure that? You're implying that it's acceptable for Flynn to insult numerous people simultaneously, but if they respond in kind he's the victim? What a quaint idea.

How else would you suggest I defend myself against attacks by Flynn, if not by attacking him in return?

What difference does that make?
