OK, I'll play your game for a while. This thread was started on 25 June 2019 by barney, with the rather odd opening post of "No Maidstone United posts please.". Despite this request, it turned into a thread discussing football - first attendances, then the old saw of whether or not unused STs are counted as part of attendance figures (including a rare, but much appreciated, admission from DaveU that he had been completely wrong). This football discussion carried on until page 6 (with 10 posts from DaveU, six from me and just one from your good self), until cgr invented the word "Wheelered" (as in ‘to f**k something up in grand style’). Oldboy73 then commented "So Theresa May wheelered us over Brexit!". And thus began our descent into Hell... Four posts later, I popped up with a reply to oldboy that Johnson, Gove, etc had 'Wheelered' him far more than May had. So, guilty as charged, it was all my fault. But as for "apace" - let's see what really happened... In the next page and a half, I post three times more. You, however, posted seven times. And that sets the pattern for the rest of the thread. To date, I have posted 61 more times (out of over 1,340 posts), DaveU (as an example of another frequent poster) has posted 73 times... ... and you have posted 286 times. Quod erat demonstrandum. I dont disagree that i posted loads. You dont seem to understand the word "started", as you continue to try and avoid the truth. Classic nws - you never disappoint. If losing the argument, alter what you're arguing about. You accused me, not of starting the argument (which, paradoxically, I admitted to), but of starting (the hijacking) "apace". And yet you posted more than twice as many times as me in the first couple of pages, and then nearly five times as much as me for the rest of the thread. So, which of us started the hijacking "apace"? (rhetorical!) |

Yes. It's crucial we get it perfectly correct who said what to who and why. Everything depends on it. Indeed. I hope you're happy with the monster you have spawned... |

So, which of us started the hijacking "apace"? (rhetorical!) I haven't altered anything. The arguing was the hijacking (although to me I just replied to a subject that was already there). If you want to get really pedantic, I never hijacked anything. You did that and I followed the conversation you started. To answer your question. You started it, I joined in. I shall look forward to your next 'classic nws' posting as you try to deny the truth. EDIT: Please note that there were four posts on this thread all of which pertained to me. I replied to three. Hence, why my postings are much higher. Perhaps you could all club together through the personal messages column and do just one post. I will answer one post and my posting rate will go down. That way you can become top poster by number (an admirable ambition I have to say  ) through the drivel you post elsewhere. Happy to help you to achieve your ambition. No thanks needed. |

My apologies dear sir, I have just read back and you are right you just sneaked another post in between my reply. No worries. I'm not sure why I would be embarrassed by writing such a thing. I changed it simply because I used language that some would see as inflammatory (i.e. clutter off). It is not meant to be it is just a phrase I would use for go. But to make sure that people like JDL don't get excited by having what they think is a killer point (but in any rational world is not) I changed it. |

Yes. It's crucial we get it perfectly correct who said what to who and why. Everything depends on it. Well, yes. Unless we are talking about WTO rules, the Lisbon Treaty, what was said during the run up to the referendum and during the election (note the latest of Johnson's lies) where it is perfectly OK to ignore fact and have 'alternative facts' or, indeed, as us plain speakers say, lies. |

Mistaking opinions for facts is why you are on the losing side of history.

While writing this nws, you’d posted 4 out of the last 5. Surely your rate is going up, not down

"and started apace with JDL" - my emphasis (as you obviously can't see this word) You gave some analysis to try and hide the truth earlier. The simple plain truth is that you posted the first serious brexit post and it went off apace after that. That is what the phrase 'started apace' means. The starting point of the hijacking going at pace. It doesnt matter who posted what after. The starting point was you. Its there in black and white. After you posted the next 16 posts were brexit quite a pace and it started with you. You highlighted the word apace but ignore the other word in the two word phrase. Oh dear |
