Papillon

The trinket awards are doing overtime it appears.

Dear oh dear. It gets worse. @remake it - did you hear back about that trinket sir?

I agree sir and appreciated Mr Buckland's explanation, honesty and the history with regard to the issue.

Also sir, even assuming you are correct, may I suggest that a person should 'appear like a President' or 'change into a world leader' from day one, rather than take three years to do so? I would assume from your wording that anyone who reacts to it with an upvote will agree that he has not acted as such until now.

I fear some users are unaware of the difference between Iran and China sir? Fortunately I was personally getting withdrawal symptoms with regard to this subject, as it has been a whole ten minutes since China was mentioned. /sarc

So it appears to be a knife aswell as guns now? What lovely trust this suggests in your government or fellow man. Plus of course the finale of a reference to other nations' governments, as this is relevant to crime within the USA. Do you even know where Marcin is from sir, or is it yet another diverting accusation and presumption with regard to other nations, and what you assume to be their crime statistics? this ^^ - also note that most deaths are 'related to drugs'. Wonderful. I thought it was about protecting yourself from government, but the reasons for firearms and deaths appear to change every few minutes sir.

Sir I believe that you have placed the above statements in the wrong thread? They should be in the 'funny jokes' section I assume? /sarc

I will take that as a 'No' then sir. Your silence with regard to any of my questions to you speaks volumes. It is clearly fine for yourself to criticise socialists, communists and so on, but not for anyone to say anything about your nation, unless positively, as I suspected. If they do, then they clearly must defend evil regimes and be an apologist? What wonderful 'us and them' logic as ever. Black or white. Grey is non-existent. Thankyou for the clarity, while throwing out accusations with no basis at all for your words. It appears you are here to only hear your own views echoed, like the infamous Wombat.

I didn't mean you at all sir. When you mentioned it and we chatted it was politely and I appreciated your reply. Some here have said I am 'overly polite' or that it is fake or attacked my language generally. I will not put up with this and will crush them like a bug accordingly /sarc

Tell me about it sir, I have received abuse here for saying it. Think of that. ''Don't be polite please.'' However I meant it in the UK sense, as in ''rise, Sir Papillon.'' That's why I sarcastically said about recognition.

Finally, some recognition /sarc

Fair enough sir, I possibly should have said ''maybe several nations would have if ...''. My point was more about how certain leaders of certain European nations may view Mr Trump, and that that may affect possible help, that was all. I wasn't even trying to suggest they should hold those views, I was making the point that some users are only seeing it through their eyes, and not their allies' eyes, and our own opinions of it are irrelevant. For example, the user who replied to me about NATO and so on and how Trump has done nothing wrong. This is his view and not possibly shared by European leaders. That was my point, to see it as they are if possible. It seemed to then turn into this constant ''who Papillon, who, who?'' and ''why are you bringing up Mr Trump?'', which I found bizarre, plus I had said again and again 'maybe' others may help and so on. Of course sir, I want you to see it, that is all. That's why I originally made reference to you I believe, to bring your attention to it. Again, no, I simply want you to see those double standards. If you think I do it too then point it out (but I don't ).

That's rare here sir. Most threads stay on topic for weeks at a time /sarc

For about the sixth time now sir, I said ''maybe other nations would help if...'' I have just explained this and said I am tired of being misquoted. So if you wish to 'ask multiple times' then do so, but it is a little pointless if you do not read my replies. You have said a few comments like this recently sir. With respect why would I attack something without knowing if you had even seen it? With regard to this comment for example, I was simply explaining to you the post you missed and why I will not take nonsense from Wombat, who I consider a drunken fool. I think all this has come about sir due to a comment I made to you about ''will you attack this?'' with regard to humour of a questionable nature, and it was merely a genuine question at the time to you. You appear to have taken this as me labelling you yourself a hypocrite sir and I apologise, but that was not my intention. This was rather for you to see some of the double standards that I and others see here, that was all. I actually respect your views a great deal and the reason I wished to point it out to you specifically was precisely a hope that you may see this dynamic. Again, you are seeing it as a personal attack sir.

Sir I don't quite understand the lengthy rant and definitely not the section regarding 'conservatives and liberals'. This appears an obsession to some and this constant 'us and them' mentality from many American views here. As I said, if you don't like my posts, ignore them. I guarantee you Mr Smith has edited that post somehow and I am sure Frankfurter would agree. I remember at the time thinking he had every right to say that back in response to nothing but ego. If you think he replied that to just the word 'morons' you are simply mistaken. The rest appears an annoyance that some users' hypocrisies have been shown up? It is constant and I am not the only one to notice it. Yet again why you care too about red arrows so much is baffling. You are asking why I awarded one just now. You use them all the time, do others demand of you why you gave it?
