You're assuming there was an "other keith".

Indeed. Great at the track, but not much anywhere else.

Amazing, isn't it? Such incredible character assessment from a bloke who
once said this:

> So here we have a sociopath borrowing a rifle and blindly shooting at pigeons across his back fence into neighbouring properties.

But less than 24 hours later said this:

> Have you already forgotten since yesterday that nowhere I did claim that you were shooting at pigeons across your back fence?

I think lunacy such as this would most certainly qualify as "Dimwitted",
"poor comprehension" and "illogical thought patterns", but I'd also add
"delusional", "insane" and "unicorn riding fuckwit" into the mix.

This bloke is a fucking *mental case*.

He said *no* such thing actually, but then retrospectively altering his
comments is a game he likes to play often :)

Remember when all the kerfuffle that erupted when Clasener made his
insane "you deleted them" comment? Remember how Jerky Jerkoff made a
noise about wanting to see evidence of Clasener's claims when he said:

> I for one would be interested to see if these alleged deleted posts
> actually ever existed one way or the other.

But a few days later when it became obvious to everyone that there *was*
no evidence to be found and that Clasener invented the whole hysterical
story in a pathetic attempt at arse covering, Jerky Jerkoff completely
changed his story stating:

> I said I didn't think there were any deleted posts and hence I showed no
> desire to bother looking for deleted posts so again you perpetuate this
> lie which you need to be true, but isn't.

Clearly there are two completely opposite stances being taken there, and
as usual he swings from one to another as the argument unfolds :)

there was. when he first appeared he used to talk quite a bit about the
aviation museum he works at, and aviation in general, until the
fraudster started rubbishing him about it. seems he was intimidated and
started sucking up to the fraudster.

Crikey! He can't even drive a Getz "enthusiastically". Imagine the havoc he
could wreak by being "enthusiastic" in an aged, overweight and unbalanced
shopping trolley like his Navarra? He'd be a danger to shipping.

Well I do realise that most of it (with the possible exception of BASIC)
was right over your head. Alvey asked a question, I answered politely
and correctly which is more than your little troll mate has ever done.

Since I still write software, it follows that I am still very capable of
both logical and abstract thought.

No, I just don't conform to your twisted logic.

More to the point, where has the other clocky gone. There used to be one
who was fairly cheerful, now the one that we have here is morose and
obsessed with just one thing. The old clocky certainly wouldn't have
thrown his lot in with a useless little troll like alvey.

You have absolutely no concept about the software business. Over time
requirements change, either you change with them or you become useless.

Stick to commenting on things you know something about like monster
cables or nulon.

Doesn't matter alvey, the bargain is you give answers, you get answers.
like it or leave it the choice is yours.

He doesn't know anything about those either. If he did he'd never waste
his money on them.

That's not how it works. At least not for Alvey. He thinks he's
something special and is entitled to whatever foot stamping demands he
makes being answered immediately.

Lots of quibbleworthy stuff there but it's too good a day to bother with
anything except "troll".

You have a very different interpretation of "troll" to the rest of the
world. And it's the opposite of better.

Hmmm.
So, can it be true that keith can't actually see the enormous difference?
Or is he just, you know, "trolling"?

Anyhoo, thanks for the textbook example of a "lose-lose" keith.
