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

I believe you did.
He is our( Scotland's) national bard.

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

I like some of it, not all of it.
Certainly not The Cotter's Saturday night.
We had to study Burns at school and I hated that one.
Although I did win the Burns prize, says she immodestly.

Looks like we are in agreement on at least something Erngath. And a belated congratulations on receiving the Burns prize.

Thank you.
I don't believe I have won a prize since and that was nearly sxty years ago.

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.

Sorry, I’m not keen on poetry generally, unless it’s John Cooper Clarke or Ian Dury.

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.

Why are you disappointed by this?  Do you not have more important concerns in life than this, really?

Of course I do. That is why I am not here 24/7 I do have a life Vertigo Swirl.  Am I not allowed to be a little bit disappointed that the proclaimed most popular message is not actually the real most popular message.

If the situation was reversed and a sceptic post was proclaimed most popular when a supporter one was really the most popular would you not be disappointed too?

LOL, are you kidding?  Disappointed?!  No, I left the playground a long time ago.

Not so long ago sometimes it seems, Vertigo Swirl. Being disappointed has nothing to do with childishness nor immaturity as any adult would know.

I doubt any supporter would give a tinker's curse about who had the most likes
Seriously when discussing the case of a missing child is this really a cause for concern.??

One clearly did as since I made my original post regarding Eleanor's 8 likes and Slartibartfast's 9 likes a supporter has liked Eleanor's post making it 9 too.  Slartibartfast now has 10 likes though.

It is not a cause for concern just something I was a bit disappointed to see.

It's puzzling why a post which contributes zero to the thread and which is a rather sarcastic and disparaging  comment about another poster should be given so many likes.
I'm surprised you want such a post recognised as having the most likes and therefore the "best"??post on the forum.

I suggest you re read Eleanor's post that you have liked and tell me what this post contributes to it's thread if you could please Erngath.

IMO neither post is noteworthy in itself and probably do not warrant the most liked accolade here but perhaps that is how this forum's "likes" work. People of course will like what they want  IMO

Eleanor's post is on topic, does contribute to the thread and most certainly is not a personal insult to a fellow forum member.
All in my opinion.
I suggest you contact John about this grave injustice to Slartis post and I'm sure he will alter the statistics to show hat Slartis post is recognised as the one with the most likes.

[Sunny]

Just forget it Erngath. I made one post as there was a discrepancy on the most liked post and have had you and Vertigo Swirl badgering me for days.

Perhaps you should look to yourself as to why you seem to care so much about what I consider "disappointing"
