I give you allowances on some spelling mistakes and some word usage mistakes because I personally think that you do a much better job talking to us in English than at least the American speakers would if trying to keep a grip on German forums.

The point I would make is that I don't even go on foreign speaking forums, because I can't speak / write in the language they use. We make allowances here if people can demonstrate that they can speak / write in understandable English sentences, but TGAC often demonstrates the opposite. His English is far from poor, but it's also far from perfect (or even very good).

I liked RevJ too before he went insane. I even spent some hours on a Google Hang Out with him trying to piece together what his insanity was, and best I can tell he was taking out his personal frustrations on Tib. I hope that's not what Germans is doing, because it's utterly stupid to strawman up a practical stranger and try to eviscerate them in an effort to deal with your own personal problems.

PS - I also think it's crass to say "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead". Maybe I don't know enough about the British voting system, but seems to me that you'd have to blame a good portion of the voting public for putting such a person up there (and thus not just the figurehead), much as I blame a good deal of America for Bush/Cheney and notice that just as many realized their mistake and put a black democrat in office right afterwards.

Exactly, and the fact is, she was elected to the position 3 times and served almost 3 terms; the longest serving Prime Minister of the 20th century (and to this day). Not only that, but her party (the one that provided most of the votes for "her" policies) won a 4th election in a row after she was forced out.
