What Mr. Morning omitted was the fulsome apology I made to the Scottish
people as a whole and the qualifying statement as to my intent at posting
the message in the first place.
Mr Morning has the audacity to refer to his charity, when it is obvious to
anyone reading his post that he possesses none, hence his need to bring
out a post made by me on the date he was gracious enough to show. I can
only assume it was languishing on one of his floppies or perhaps has been
decorating his hard all this time.(no typo)
I received a number of e-mails from several right minded Scots who
accepted my apology, oddly enough not from Mr. Morning.
I don't presume that contemporary Scots are anything like Mr. Morning in
their harbouring a grudge and not accepting apologies, that would be too
impossible to believe. Scots are not renowned for harbouring grudges least
of all against an Englishman who apologises to them.
Mr. Morning's usual tactic is to reply to a post by slicing off its
salient part and making some out of context comment to deride the part he
is replying to. This usually results in a long often boring thread where
those attempting to make their argument constantly remind him of what they
actually wrote and not what he accuses them of writing. Finally he
accuses them of troling.
Having read several of the threads to which he has contributed and
observing his same tactics applied to other poor unfortunates, I now
generally steer clear as mind-dumbing boredom is inevitable. One can only
cover the same bit of ground a certain number of times.
As this is becoming boringly long I will once again apologize for my
condemnation of the Scots for possessing two anuses when in fact only a
certain section of anti-English nationalists are afflicted by this
physiological aberration. Most nationalists of whatever country are
generally banal in their rhetoric (we're good, they're not so good). Many
Scots nationalists (in my view) are worse than banal when referring to the
English they're bianal, talking crap.
I reiterate this, and those who disagree may like to remove the various
'English out' graffiti that adorns some parts of the Scottish landscape. I
reserve the term bianality for all hardened nationalists wherever they
reside, I despise them all.
So I will still feel free to contribute to this and other newsgoups and
point out a few truths as I see them when the English are attacked.
I may appear from time to time, if I can spare it, to have a go at Scots
having a go. If Mr Morning thinks I am trolling then that is his
privilege.
He obviously feels he had a major victory in raking up my post because he
can use it against me any time. Perhaps he should get a job on the tabloid
he says he most despises; it's in his class.
Let him bask in his glory.

In other circumstances "English" would have been a bit of a low blow
too. (Steve has ethnic origins which politeness dictates we gloss

the 1300s, so it's perfectly safe to visit now.
