I have a problem with the original 'kissed a girl' posting.
Superficially it looks amusing. In fact it is an ad hominem
attack on Dave Miller.
I thought it was hilarious.
It never occurred to me think that it was meant in
a mean way, or that Dave Miller took at as such.
After seeing Bryan's talk last night I'm even
more sure that this was the case! A great, humourous
presenter who really knows his stuff.
Rather than reply to Dave's detailed points, he attempts to ridicule
him.
I saw it as an _acknowledgement_ that Dave had
excellent points by admitting he had no substantive
comeback.
A great talker maybe but when he has no substantive comeback he attempts
a personal attack. Not nice.
