Fact is, with anonymity you can write whatever horlocks you like. And we're entitled not to believe it.
There you go again with the anonimity nonsense. You seem to think that because you and skull have come out and revealed your identity that that somehow gives you both the moral high ground to tell people that for that reason both your opinions are correct and based on Fact as you both claim regularly. Remember Tony Blair?? Or most politicians for that matter. He came out and said a lot of things that were blatant lies and we all knew who he was, it did not stop him telling lies, so what makes you two different? Also I have recently found a few people that actually know skull (sorry jasbar you are still an unknown) and only quoting what was said, but NOBODY has a good word to say about him. So I think I will believe people who know skull and give an honest opinion on him without any input from me. I know that will be a huge disappointment to skull but hey thats life.

Says who??? You?? Skull?? My goodness you really must have an inflated view of your opinions, clearly there are MANY here who dont share your views nor skulls, but no doubt they are all wrong also

And why don't you grow up and can the claims of vitriolic and abusive language.
Grow up?? So because I make an observation, which interestingly you have STILL yet to answer, that you choose to disagree with that somehow makes me numerically younger than you and therefore I need to grow up? I will not do any such thing jasbar until you explain why you use vitriolic and abusive language in many of your arguments? Also I appear not to be the only one commenting on this subject so maybe if you did explain then I and others might not talk about it. You must recognise that you might not like me talking about this jasbar but you have to accept in an open forum lots of people dont like what is posted but thats why its an OPEN forum, you dont HAVE to be here and if I have to put up with reading inane posts that I dont like then guess what................so do you

The Skull and I are the only ones on this forum to articulate reasoned argument. It is we who have been subject to abuse. If you've parachuted yourself into this advanced part of the game then you fail to understand that we only retaliate because its funny, and we're better at it then the numpties whose only response to our reasoned and logical arguments is to deride us.
The first sentence actually made me burst out laughing, The second likewise. You may well have been victims in the past and that is unacceptable. I am only dealing with my posts since joining this forum, and one thing for sure is that unlike you and skull my posts are never abusive and vitriolic towards any member, no matter the provacation. I am more intelligent and respectful in my posts even if I disagree with a posters comments. Shame you and skull cant do likewise.
Parachute myself in?? Another bizarre comment. I may have joined later than you but I know you dont like my FACTS but I am not a newbie in regards of taxis in Edinburgh. I just dont shoot my mouth of like some people. I believe in the concept that less is more.
I have also never derided you or skull I have merely questioned your choice of language and use of personal abuse in many of your posts.

But we don't mind. Every slag off and slander simply proves how right we are.
Is that a Royal we?? Correct me if I am wrong but where have I slagged you off or slandered you? Easy answer.... I have not so how on earth does that prove you both right? I think even you must see even as a comic post it is one of your most ridiculous and unfunny ones by a country mile.

The taxi trade is corrupt. It is being run by the council corruptly. Parliament is supporting the corrupt running of the trade and none of the band of brigands cares a to$$ about the customers.
Well why dont you leave the trade then? If anyone else I know was that unhappy in their life they would have gone a long long time ago. Some might say that anyone who claims to dislike where they work, the people they work with, the management of their trade and the politicians at the top are just so sad and lonely that they actually enjoy going on and on and on and on about the inadequencies of their trade as their life is so devoid of anything else meaningful. I would certainly not suggest that is the case re yourself nor skull, but it is a point that many others may agree with.
