    Then there's a 'regular' who feels the need to be terminally obtuse.

    It's the sort of thing commonly found when conventional wisdom is challenged and found wanting.

    Why, that's just the exact sentiment I had when considering your obtuseness, Sh**ter.

    You ignore (for obviousl reasons) any refutations of your repeated ad nauseam "talking points" that have been blown out of the water months ago. You repeat these same trite inanities day in and day out, months on end. We really wish you'd stop ... you overfilled colostomy bag, you....

    I think my favourite example of your obtuseness (if such a thing is possible) was your repeated request for someone to answer your nagging pet question, and your claims that no one had done so ... when I'd done so a couple of times ... over a period of months .., to this repeated request. The plain fact is that you simply don't listen. Which is exceedingly impolite when you have actually asked (nominally) for a reply.

    Cheers,
