George. Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 As for the ridiculous comment " hope that all lib dem voters are feeling good in themselves" you really need to get a life and stop looking for everyone to blame. In general, I've always thought that people who constantly look down on others and judge others are usually just trying to detract people from their own skeletons. Looking down? Judging others? Making these comments while unable to correctly comment what I have recently stated speaks for itself. Personally, I either get my quotes right first time or I keep my mouth shut, but it is, of course, up to you. Correctly comment, you reckon eh? "To date, Carbuncle is (almost) a self-admitted liar." And that's your idea of correctly commenting, is it? How's that work then, "almost" a liar? Surely someone is or isn't? At the point of writing, Carmichael had admitted some of what had happened, but not all. Therefore the word, "almost" was used. Or had you missed that?

Take more time to read properly. Do take notice of punctuation. You left it open to interpretation, the punctuation doesn't rule out what I took from it. Regardless, "almost a self-admitted liar" quite clearly doesn't mean an "almost liar". It's quite clear what was meant: Carmichael saying he was "less than fully truthfully" is lawyer speak for he lied, making it an almost-admission of that. Simple?

Windwalker Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Wooooo, the headline grabbers getting their sixpence worth again. They obviously think we are incapable of reading the news ourselves. Reminds me of the local gossip who gets so much satisfaction out of other people's problems.What I can't stand is that this is nothing other than a witch hunt.

In general, I've always thought that people who constantly look down on others and judge others are usually just trying to detract people from their own skeletons. Who are the headline grabbers and what is their sixpence worth? What is an internet forum if not a medium for discussing current affairs and matters of interest (to the person posting)? It is not a "witch hunt". We have already been through the part of the hearing in which those with judicial authority to do so made clear there was a legitimate case to be heard. That you don't like it is an irrelevance. EDIT: (Your closing sentence gets a good laugh given the condescending tone of the rest of your post. "Get a life" he says, shortly followed by "people who look down on others are trying to detract". No irony intended it seems...)Your entitled to your opinion, as I am mine.

hjasga Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does the grammar thing say I'm a well intentioned sort who wants everybody to expand their knowledge of the language they use? It was genuinely meant without disrespect but if you're going to act like a child I'll know not to bother next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
