You may choose to infer that meaning of it so you can groundlessly suggest that I think Danny is a bigot and a redneck. But there is no such implication in the post.

Not quite so shockingly emotively neat as you interpret and there is plenty of ground for my reply.
I did not write two side of the same coin, as in you claimed Danny was the same as bigot and a redneck, but I said you claimed Danny had the opposite reaction, on the other side of the outraged bigot, the us and them scenario, which you imply, the us (Danny) and the them (outraged loyalist), are equally to be an issue.
And that snip was what you regarded as the most pertinent point from Danny's missive.

This is what you wrote. Fair enough if it is not what you intended, but it's just a familiar refrain.
"From your perspective, he's one of 'us' doing something which pissed 'them' off, and you're pleasantly surprised and happy to play it down, just as they are outraged and happy to play it up."

Barnes contradicted that on twitter too. Said he didn't call for a new flag, just to agree on one of the existing ones.

Existing ones?

"There should be an actual flag, not a new one."

Wahey Paddy!

That's more grist for GR's pithy, yet predictable offerings; which in turn will provoke an eloquent and (unnecessarily) lengthy response from Danny (Sorry Danny

); AB will then....err....make some....err....comment on the rotund one and declare game, set & match for Danny; Crosby will deliver some surreal left-field one liner from New York later this evening; Paul will...; and then Geysir will deaden most of it by calling a spade a spade.

I can't wait.

Tbf, my 'point' is a consistent one, on the basis DI has done it so frequently, in that context...

Whilst geysir's last post was a good example of his capabilities, done with equal ruthlessness.

I didn't say you said Danny was a bigot and a redneck. I just said that you said he had a bigoted perspective and was as bad as the bigots and rednecks.

Gold medal-standard of verbal gymnastics there.

Except geysir still wins by a country mile...

Ever suffered from cherry blossom poisoning AB?

Shoe polish??

Afternoon all. Is this still the Rory McIlroy pullover thread? Seems to have taken a cavalier direction recently.

The Fly's right, I just can't resist a predictable knob gag...

**Crosby87** · 07/08/2014, 10:52 PM

Jack said he can win "15 or 20 majors." Kiss of death. No uncircumcised man will ever beat Jack's majors record!

Agreeing with a good post is 'ar*e licking' surely...

There's plenty of eejits I'd slag off directly at times, but it's 'not the done thing' and they take it so personally...

Anyway, 116 (so far) reasons to read this as a local theme park tries to find a new fleg...

Speaking of theme parks you chaps should visit my friend the worm in chicago. Six flags has a roller coaster called goliath you all would love. Irish people love roller coasters. Irish people love six flags.
