And So...
*Post deleted*
What happened was that Paddy came on and convinced me to jack all this in. Then he came on & convinced me to do it again. This is like when he talked me into nicking library books & cutting out the pictures for him to frame and sell in his shop.
He's a bad inluence on the young!

Re: And So...
Not my intention son. Take a break. The Internet is nothing to do with what you want to do. It's just an easy place to do things. And easy is never worth anything.
There's nothing going on here that's any good. Just be happy that you tried to get close.
For what it might be worth I agree with you. Most Americans on these forums haven't a clue. And after London, Europe mainly struggles as well.

Re: And So...
No offence. But this is just a place to chat. Hearts & minds won't be won here.

You know what's really sad? Complaining about the internet on the internet.

Seriously Paddy, it's a self fulfilling prophecy. You, me, all of us make the forum what it is and such snotty negativity doesn't make it look any better.
Now what is RS going on about here?

Re: And So...
Nobody is here without at least a casual interest in IL. What do you say "preaching to the choir"? That fact that this place is all into IL is a real achievement. Leave it at that.
You want to empire build then go back to trolling Ask Andy About Clothes.
I'm saying this to Jim not to you 1966.
Jim you've been a scrapper for too long son. You can turn it off by now.
Come back & be nice.

Thank Christ for Paddy - telling it like it is! Of course it's not going to win any converts. Besides, he was into it before most of us. Best leave it at that, eh?

In fact, stand back, light the blue touchpaper and retire. All we need now for a full house is Hubert Swaine.

Agree, one or two egos need pricking and the odd arse needs kicking!

Re: And So...
Mate - regardless in what context, I fucking hate that snotty "america doesn't get it, the continent struggles and the internet is a piece of shit". Anyone who bores us with that crap again might as well stay offline to cry amongst his stinky old clobber.

Re: And So...
/\ well what you are saying it seems, is that you agree with what Paddy says about preaching to the choir...but not some of the way he put it re: nothing on the net being anygood.
Personally I think the same......most on here are already interested in Ivy, so you ain't converting no-one (or not in any great numbers), maybe the occasional person who stumbles onto here, as opposed to those who came looking. But the "convert the world" stuff indicates some ego issues I suspect.
Of course the argument is that it stimulates debate? But thats like saying my grandad bangin on about the war all the time when he comes to stay at christmas promotes debate. Maybe it did once, now people switch off to him.....and therein lies the danger of bangin on about something too much!
