I initially read this as ""erithromycin" is a pain in the arse type compared to Drew." which would've made a lot more sense, but seems a little deep for your usual posting style.

And the whole point of passive/aggressive digs is that you have plausible deniability. Only works on the internet or in other venues where you can lie at one remove.

My favourite passive/aggressive digs include:

I'm bored of this now, away to do something thats not the internet = I've totally run out of comebacks, now I leave you to wallow in your own forum filth while I go skydiving. (I'll actually be sitting here crying.)

You can call me short, tall, black, white, fat, thin or anything, except you're wrong about the one thing I'm blatantly guilty of = I'd admit to fucking a live pig in a wheelbarrow if it means I can prove you wrong.

I expect better from you = I'm so petulant right now my lower lip has its own orbiting bodies.

I used to XXX, but I grew out of it = Excellent way to call someone a child and get away with it.

Drew's exactly the same in the real world, MarkMono.

See what I did there?

Re: Complaints over disabled TV presenter

I normally do.

And I wasn't saying he wasn't/isn't. Y'ever think that maybe looking for hidden messages in my posts might be the wrong way to go about things? Given that I go to so much effort to be blunt and straightforward in my statements.

Re: Complaints over disabled TV presenter

so basically what we have here is parents who want the convenience of teaching their kids about disabled people in their own time (probably never) but are effectively having it forced upon them and having to deal with it?

sounds like normal life to me, if they don't like it they go jump off something high

And I wasn't saying that you were either. I think you're finding hidden messages in my posts that even I don't know about.

Re: Complaints over disabled TV presenter

Why else would you be telling me in particular? What else could your point possibly be in that context?

(I actually think I prefer Awesomus Maximus' classic debating tactic of calling people names until they don't want to talk to him anymore to this.)

I was just pointing out that whilst your misreading of your post might have made more sense to you, I didn't agree because there is, in my opinion, very little difference between erithromycin/Drew's online and offline personas.

A very dull point, I'm sure you'll agree, and certainly not worth the number words we have wasted on the subject.

I merely meant that it would've potentially been a more significant point to make, rather than me agreeing or disagreeing with it. The last several posts should make sense to you now.

In retrospect I probably could've been clearer, though you did choose to read an implication in my post which was not present.

Its an imperfect world.

Re: Complaints over disabled TV presenter

I still can't get over the fact that all the folk complaining about it seem to have not picked up the fact that her favourite game is Twister. Hell I can't even play that game and I've got both my arms!

And her favourite dance?

What about when she goes to a rave? Does she just not care?

I'm sure she's quite used to all these sarcastic digs but her cheery demeanor suggests to me she's learned not to let it get to her. If it does stress her out, she probably uses Zen meditation techniques to calm down. You know, sitting about thinking about the sound of...

oh bugger.

Bells.

Does a cow have a Bhuddist nature? No.

Anyway, the point I was making (which was obscured, hilariously) is that people railing against the BBC for showing disabled people to their children have to attack the BBC because otherwise they'd have to admit that they were raising children unprepared for those different than them, and abrogating responsibility for nurturing and socialising their mewling offspring to the idiot box. Something which no good parent would do, obviously, which by logical extension makes it the BBC's fault.

The fact that people different than us are should not be scary for that in and of themselves doesn't mean we can't find Daily Mail readers objectionable for existing.
