I thought you had "no use for it"

I do not.
"Look what I own; I'm lovely!"
"Yes, you're lovely! See what I *own*? *I'm* lovely!"
"Oh yes! *We're*lovely*!"
Never seen that thread over there - and once again you are spouting bollocks
about something you profess that you don't even read !

Nope.....its just not that important, I couldn't care a toss how it's
spelled and I have better things to worry about (!)

I.

I always loved that word. 'Bullshit" just doesn't make the grade
comparatively.

Whoopee! Just saw my first roadrunner in the wild - and it was in my
own backyard!

I've seen it. It's loathsome. I have no use for it.

Toss is *all* you care about.

I guess "Fararree" is just as acceptable? ...GBO, then?

You may persist in believing what you will - which is excellent for it
means, with luck, that you'll stay out of F-chat

If that's the best you can do....well, that just about says it all really.
Idiot.

Who cares? I know one or two people who can't spell worth a damn & don't
know a Picasso from a Van Gogh - but it doesn't mean to say they don't know
what they like & arn't passionate about but it - and it definitly doesn't
make them bad people. If you want to appoint yourself as the official
"Ferrari nomenclature correctness police" you go right ahead. If it keeps
you busy that might just be a good thing - but please do it quietly.....!

You will no doubt be surprised to learn then that there's an entire
industry devoted to correct and accepted spellings and definitions.

Yeah...

I wasn't talking about your insolent ignorant dilettante mates, I was
talking about FERRARI DEALERS (purveyors to the insolent ignorant
dilettante mate trade, without doubt) not knowing the difference
between Spider and Spyder. It's sort of like your local librarian
pronouncing the word 'lye-berry".

....Well, maybe not yours, but surely mine and others'.

And you have every right to be an ignorant tit: Please keep it
confined to your own house.

Always with the insults - and this time about people you know nothing
about....you must have a hard time living on the planet - everything, but
everything seems to bug the hell out of you to the extent that you need to
have a bit of a rant about it. Still, that's your problem not mine. Somehow
you always remind me of a dog chasing its tail.

As always, you are entitled to your opinion. Others will judge whether what
you suggest might apply to me (or not as the case may be) but whatever, I
couldn't care less - life's too short & my Ferrari needs maintaining &
driving.

end of........

I.

Whether you realize it or obviously not: It was you who so
characterized your associates, not me.

....Disdainful of the conventions of written communication, ignorant of
obvious historical events, yet professing unearned understanding and
insight.

And aren't you just the most special little boy because of it?
Defining propriety, re-structuring lexicography, even dabbling in
psychology at a distance... all while wearing tights, a cape, and a
prancing horse on your chest.

I just knew you wouldn't / couldn't let it die.

.....'nuff said, I'm outta here for a while - there are plenty of other
places to hang out & talk Ferraris without running into petty, rude,
arrogant & self-important NARGs like you Mr Fruscianti. You can have at it -
pretty soon you'll just be talking to yourself anyway - much like a dog
chasing its tail.

Running away? Nah, never running away from people like you - what's to run
from?? I just don't need idiots like you around me & I have enough good
sense to know that when such people appear you just move on & go play
somewhere else - because there is always somewhere else to go. Life's much
too short to waste any more time with the likes of you & your endless
vitriol.

You're not a Merchant Banker by trade are you by any chance?

I.

Huh?

Iain is a knowlegeable, helpful, enthusiastic, friendly Ferrari owner.

You read this group, so you know Iain offers any advice he
can to anybody who needs it. This whole thread started because
someone asked for help. You sneered at that person for asking,
now you're sneering at Iain for helping.

Mark, you clearly have some 'issues'. I don't know if it's simple envy,
or perhaps you've suffered something in life to make you this resentful
but whatever it is, please get some help with it. Living with all
that boiling rage can't be good for your health and it's certainly not
doing us any good at all.

:-(
