is it me - or has anyone not yet noticed that the most rabid posts have come from people other than myself?
And the loadie who DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO WORK HIS GUN - he "made a mistake" - poor diddums - we call that a negligent discharge in the army and no one gets, or deserves, any sympathy for it, no matter how many tree-hugging, shoulder-crying focus groups he has led.
If you go back to my very first post, I mentioned that some people on these forums think that it's for RAF only - and I have that impression more strongly than ever - particularly when people like you, Jayteeto are happy to criticise me but not others for similar behaviour.
I am happy to take the criticism - my shoulders are broad, and I don't generally take offence at words unlike many who so clearly do - but if you're going to criticise, look further than just one person.
...and if not - bring it on - but I don't snap at people who "dare to criticise [my] views".
I just like baiting people with thin skins - plenty of them around, too.
