Well.. it's not only "The Press", is it..

You're right: it's also the press-ident.
And some of those press-ent, too..
Try not to let it depress you.
I'll press on regardless, secure in the knowledge that one day, my prints will come. I'd like to post an apposite emoticon, but I can't find the right type face..

That would be true if I'd tweeted Spike Lee's home address and called for "an eye for an eye." But I haven't, so all I've done is make some comments which have no effect on the case whatsoever. No old people have had to move out of their homes in fear, nobody has been expelled from school and nobody has a bounty on their head because of what I've said.

So why bother to post, then? Altruism?

Because this is a forum. People talk to each other here. Maybe you should crawl out from under your bridge more often and learn how to communicate with people.

By "communicate with people" you mean "agree with me."
This is the internet: I don't buy anything.

No, not at all. Plenty (most?) of the people here disagree with me without acting like twats in the process.

Life in the Matrix sounds like a blast.

Not a fan of Amazon? I've got some good deals there.

I make most of my big purchases on Amazon and now that I'm a member of Amazon Prime I even buy small items that I don't feel like running to the store to buy.
Do they have Prime in the UK? Here it's $75/year and you get free 2-day shipping for your orders. I guess that might not mean much in a small place like the UK but it really speeds things up in a country more than 3000 miles across.

Is that really the best that you can do?
"Agree with me or be a twat."
I'll stay a twat, thanks.

Snide, sarcastic comment? Check
Putting words in another's mouth? Check
Smug, condescending closing comment? Check
I must admit that you're very good at acting like an Internet twat.
Not sure what either of you have to gain by continuing to insult each other. Why don't you just accept your mutual dislike and move on to other topics/threads?
