[SEL] re the furore created by my comments

[peter ogborne]

I don't normally stir up trouble  and then leave town but in this case it
was unavoidable.I have been away for some days .So now lets get a few things
straight....I said the operator of the steam traction engine was STUPID . I
led with my chin there and should have said he was a  irresponsible
idiot, the machine was full of defects and i did not "Twist '' the facts [
why would i?]I wont go into the details as anyone
who has an interest will know them.To operate the machine in such  condition
was done with no regard to those people on it ,around it and even those poor
bloody policemen who some moron on SEL  tried to blame for the accident It
was an accident as i am sure the operator did not set out to blow the thing
up but it was faulty and if inspected and repaired and operated correctly
could have been
avoided.

Enough said about that . Now one of our list has chosen to make some comment
about me and the Taliban. I have been of the opinion for some time that this
person
 is a  fool. His comment has now shown me that my suspicions were
well founded . Any further reference by me  regarding
him  will
now cease.

Naturally we got around to Communism, amazing the Reds are still under the
beds! Now the reference to me being a Liberal ....I will forgive this show
of
ignorance . In our country a Liberal is Right Wing , I  suppose if you want
to call me anything call me Left Wing ,perhaps even  a
Socialist.....who knows.but there again i have a choice,.in any case what my
political leanings are ,are my business.
Of course that old Chestnut" Guns ''came up ,talk about paranoia!! [This
will bring them out of the woodwork!]
Perhaps my reference to standing under the launch pad was a bit too subtle.

Any way i will pay my insurance ,sit behind a fence and enjoy myself
...others may wish to keep raging and sit in their shed playing with
themselves!  Just remember this life is no rehearsal
