The people I meet here are SO fiendly, just like Kate's friend.

The people here *are* friendly -- to those who don't come here asking for help while simultaneously
telling them they don't know what they're doing.
In the past, you have (among other things) explicitly refused to use CSS even when it is clearly the best
solution to the problem you were seeking help with; repeatedly ignored advice to put a proper
DOCTYPE in your pages; and blamed the validator for flagging errors that were clearly of your own
making.
The reason you are unable to learn anything from the folk in this group is that you believe you already
know it all. So why do you keep coming back?

and paste a doctype dead easy and refusing to use CSS is perverse. It's
like wearing Brylcreem. Also, are all those scripts really necessary?

I didn't say friendly, I said fiendly, as in Kate Bush and her friend
from Hammer Horror.
If you can't read a simply word like that, how can you be trusted to
code complex stuff like CSS?

He can't, apparently.
Look at some of his earlier posts: a thread from a few months back will give you a good idea of the
way he operates. The short version is that he was advised to use a DOCTYPE in his document
(and told explicitly what to put there); instead of copying what he was given, he used an invalid
DOCTYPE apparently of his own creation, which of course increased the error count instead of
decreasing it -- and concluded on that basis that using a DOCTYPE was a bad idea.

He doesn't understand it, apparently, and doesn't want to learn.

Of course not.

I read what you wrote corrrectly, and gave you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that it was a
simple typing error, instead of making the less charitable assumption -- which you have now
confirmed to be the truth -- that you're just a jackass.

Apparently, that includes being someone who interjects gratuitous political insults into a technical
discussion.

Seriously though, I live in Birmingham, and the case has aroused a lot
of passion over the years. I've even eaten in the Blue Sky. One night
two guys tried to run out without paying, something I had only heard
about before.
