Perhaps we clashed a little over Gavin and Stacey, I'd say we probably did. Apart from that I seem to remember you being a little rude about some sketch of mine, which is fine I suppose, then being really quite rude about me as a person, which I didn't think was fine. I can only assume we had clashed before and I'd forgotton. I don't think I am disingenuous, but I do think you're rude, and if you genuinely do dislike me, well, a little weird. And I genuinely mean that.
Like/dislike/hate are relative only to this forum. Unlike you I've thought a bit about why we don't get on. On paper we probably should do. I think there is something in your nature that you are not aware of that I am susceptible to. It's a slight c**tishness. A snide quality. It is in your post above, where you describe my posts as 'tiffs'. I suppose it is a sort of 'painting yourself white all the time' quality. You are also the master of making your argument and then undervaluing the discussion when others come with their position - "Oh well, whatever, I'm not that bothered anyway... etc."
I am rude. My posts are often highly objectionable. That is why I use the persona of a taxi driver.
Incidentally I was never rude about your work. I have praised your sketches for their slickness and their professionalism. They just weren't funny. Since I am not the arbiter of what is funny in the world, let's change that to 'they have never made me laugh'.
