“O wad some Power the giftie gie us, to see oursels as ithers see us!"

I never did like Rabbie Burns, and in any case I know exactly how some people see me.  I did spell it out but for some reason the moderator chose to delete my post, funny that.
Now, for the second time of asking (a waste of time on my part, I know) why do you think the most popular post on the entire forum is not one making an important point about the case, but one in which a McCann supporter is put in their place by a sceptic moderator?

On a different but related subject has anyone noticed how Kipper the most “like giving” member (who never made a single post in their forum life and who liked virtually ALL of Stephen’s posts to make him the most liked forum member ever) stopped liking posts over a year ago.  Now, when did Stephen leave the forum...?

I see Eleanor's post is still the most liked with 9 and yet from what I have read Slartibartfast's has 10 likes.

Vertigo Swirl perhaps there were a number of likes for Slartibart's post for 2 reasons one it was funny and two it was accurate.

In what way was it either funny or accurate?  Perhaps you would like to explain.

Sorry I was busy.

Obviously as beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is humour.

IMO discussion is regularly closed down on this forum by sceptics - those who refuse to answer questions or to be drawn into discussing their opinions, their theories or to say what they really think, who deflect with ad homs, strawmen and other tactics.  I'm all for completely open and honest exchange of views, but that doesn't seem popular with some sceptics.

You managed to type that with a straight face?

Funny?  Well as I said that is dependant upon whether you are a sceptic or supporter.

Accurate, well IMO the post was as so far I have found that what you have said there is as far from the truth as is possible, hence why Slartibartfast's post is accurate too.

What I wrote was sincere, and therefore I was not attempting to be humorous.  So, in your opinion I was the butt of a (IMO not very funny) joke made by a forum moderator, which was liked by more people than have ever liked any post  written on this forum before.  It is in short the pinnacle of all posts ever written, and it is a post that contributes nothing apart from to put down a supporter, suggesting they are lying, hypocritical or deluded, or all three.  This indicates that most or all sceptics believe I am a liar, deluded or hypocritical or all three, in short that I am a pretty contemptible member of the forum that deserves to be ridiculed.  Thanks for bringing this issue to the forum’s attention, it really makes me feel very valued and appreciated.

Seeing as a reasonable percentage of your posts (IMO) have been moaning about some aspect or other of this forum I wonder why you are here at all Vertigo Swirl. Perhaps you could explain why to me.

Your post is off topic.

Goodness Me.  I didn't know this Thread was here, and I have never before looked at The Like Stats.  I was only alerted to it by a Deletion Notification.
I am not sure that I deserve the honour as my comment was only intended as a joke.  But thanks anyway.

The same thoughts had crossed my mind.

I'll forgive your remark about our national bard.
I hadn't realised just how unpopular you are with the sceptics.
Must be touching a few nerves somewhere.
Keep up the good work.

Is Robbie Burns the national bard of the English too Erngath? I never knew that.


Back on to my earlier post I see Slartibart's post has 10 likes and Eleanor's has 9. Eleanor's post is still down as the most liked post.

IMO neither post is amazing or particularly thought provoking but it is disappointing that the most liked message on here is actually NOT the most liked post.  Perhaps John could look into it.

Where did I say that Robert Burns was the national bard for the English?

I do believe John has enough to do without being concerned by irrelevant details.
In my opinion of course.

Perhaps I misread your post Erngath. It was the use of the word "our" to Vertigo Swirl.

Erngath I have a guilty secret. I actually like Robbie Burns (well some of it) and I am not Scottish.
