All true, except I hadn't had anything to drink. Just wait till I down these couple of pints of the ol' thumper ! Apart from that I am just emulating the style I learned from Turq. Attack the person, not the argument. In addition, I have no argument with Turq...mostly because he has no rationality, therefore how can one engage in argument. It is a waste of time.
