This topic (even after tarting up) is like shuddering next to the Manchester Ship Canal in a snowstorm. You're skating dangerously close to the edge sir - pity, because your posts on things megalithic are generally well presented when you bother to address them correctly. You seem, however, to suffer from SMD (selective memory disorder) choosing posts (or parts of posts) that offer you the opportunity to be confrontational. That is your choice of course, unfortunately it generally leads to people being banned. Worse, and you may have already noticed this happening, of being ignored. My advice to you is to go out and indulge in a little retail therapy - lighten up a bit, enjoy the soft autumn we're having, buy a new hat for when things turn colder. When you've done that you might check on your medication, make sure it's the right one, or up the dosage a bit (not too much of course) And when you've got all that sorted, why not think carefully before posting - who knows, with a little practice you might start making sense in a consistent sort of way and, with even a little more practice, you might even start making friends. Good luck - you're going to need it. PS Philip Larkin once wrote of Charles Causley - Ah, CHARLES, be reassured! For you Make lasting friends with all you do, And all you write; your truth and sense We count on as a sure defence Against the trendy and the mad The feeble and the downright bad. PPS You may of course reply to this post - don't expect a reply. dixi

Please re-read your post ( http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=23046&message=450628 ). Is this not a reference to this post of mine: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=23046&message=439237 ? I thought you were ignoring me. You alluded to my quote and I replied. If you found my reply (or participation in this website) offensive then please complain to the management. If you have a case then I am sure that TMA Ed will oblige and delete my account.

I'm sure no-one needs to go telling teacher as the Eds read the threads and run the forum as they see fit. My only regret is that the two threads where you'd expect no ill-feeling, just a pleasant and contemplative exchange of opinions on poetry and painting, are the very ones that seem to be attracting it. I certainly hope self-moderation or editorial intervention puts them back to where they might be expected to be. But like Littlestone I'm not up for further dialogue on the subject - for the very reasons mentioned above.

Reality check please. If anyone wishes to use this 'pleasant and contemplative exchange of opinions' to have a pop at whatisthat, then please expect a reply. If you do not want my participation in this topic then just ignore me (as Littlestone advised).

Personal abuse. Calling TMA Ed - I would like to make a complaint about this abusive post and the general trolling by Littlestone instigated by this post: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=23046&message=450628

"Personal abuse. Calling TMA Ed - I would like to make a complaint about this abusive post and the general trolling by Littlestone instigated by this post" Quite right. He shouldn't have said it. I'm sure he will apologise. If the Eds call him to task I hope he will plead intolerable provocation and that they will be sympathetic. Now I really am going to ignore you and not even read any of your posts as you display every sign of wishing to be the centre of attention by any available means, which is damaging to the atmosphere of any forum.

Hi Fiona chris s doesn't post here that often so it may be awhile before he answers you. Two great poems of yours though and if you have any more on a megalithic theme please post them. You may also be interested in the Megalithic Poems blog here - http://megalithicpoems.blogspot.com/
