Enlighten me then!

They are. I'll help you out again on this one:

An unsubstantiated allegation. Funny how you can't post the relevant 
sentence. But hey, if you did, you'd be the only one taking things out 
of context.

No. What you did was butt into a thread claiming it was off-topic for 
altnet.general. Since then you've been asked several times to explain 
yourself. You've fucked up every time.

Why do you worry so much about it, when quite clearly you love 
participating in off-topic posts. "If thine eye offends thee, then 
pluck it out!"

Are you attempting some sort of Neuro-Linguistic Programming?

You've quoted me twice. You're not losing the plot are you?

Temper, temper.

I think if you trace this thread back, you'll find it was on-topic.

And where did I say this? I think you're getting a little bit 
confused (again).

You're paranoid, aren't you?

You must find it so difficult to cope with life. However do you manage?
