Is spudplanter an insult in American?

I apologise.

If Spadplanter were a Spudplanter he would be able to appreciate the impact of climate change on our environment.

I actually hadn't realised that I hade called him spudplanter - spadplanter doesn't mean anything to me, but spudplanter does, which is probably why I wrote the wrong word.

However Si Modo - you are free to interpret my posts in any way you see fit.

Over the years I have been coming here I have been able to maintain quite cordial relations with a number of posters with whom I have very different points of view. The problem seems to be yours, not mine.

When you first came to USPO I thought, great, an intelligent poster,and another woman. We need more of both here.

Now I see you consorting with the likes of Captain Trips (previously Thane) whose contribution to USPO over the past few years has been mainly to insult and bait other posters, and your style is reminiscent of Chiquita - another American woman who had issues with non American posters - especially women - in the same way you do (I have seen you attack Tethys and Sucre as well as myself).

Probably the main point of difference is that you are a more educated version than Chiquita.

Quite frankly - I would prefer not to put someone like you on ignore, because you ARE intelligent and have some really valuable contributions to make to discussion here at USPO. I would like to be able to read your input, but virtually every response you make to a post of mine is bitchy and childish.

However, over the last month or so I find whenever I see a post from you that I am reminded of Oscar Wilde, when he said "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious."
