Then again, there are the self righteous lot who come on forums merely to condemn all other anglers (sometimes the whole of humanity it seems ) making sweeping generalisations about one and all. How they can justify such accusations without knowing anything about the folk they pour scorn upon has always been a mystery to me. But then, that sort of person usually doesn't see a need to justify their actions in my experience. Hey ho, never mind
The Irony
Neil, as you seem have gone on a personal mission to jump in on virtually ever post I make, disagreeing with every point no matter what the subject, with ever lamer bursts of sarcasm (see your earlier posts in this thread for instance) I thought I might try and work out exactly what you were trying to say, what exactly it is that has got your dander up this time round. I chose your latest gem (above) as an example worth analysing, as it left me perplexed as usual.. As it consisted of only two words, and the first is self explanatory, I found an easy to understand meaning on google for the other half of your message, just to help thing along. See below.
"A simple way of putting it is that irony usually signals a difference between the appearance of things and reality. For instance, here is how Wikipedia defines it: “Ironic statements (verbal irony) often convey a meaning exactly opposite from their literal meaning. In ironic situations (situational irony), actions often have an effect exactly opposite from what is intended.â€
There now, even I can understand that Perhaps then you could explain to me exactly what it was you thought it meant, then we can perhaps understand what your message was meant to convey. I just really would like to know what it is you object to about everything I say. Hell, you may even have a good point for all I know
Cheers
