You know, you once were a decent poster here, I enjoyed many of your replies. But, you’ve changed over the past year or two, now you’re combative, rude, a total know-it-all and very nasty, seeming to live for lengthy late night crowing sessions about just how very cultured, smart and accomplished you are. You do realize that this is rather self-evident if so, and honking incessantly about it only proves the opposite, I assume. You’re often wrong despite your own assurances that such a thing is just not possible.
You really should go have these personality changes checked out by medical professionals. My father passed away in 2008 but in the years of his decline leading up to that he had a series of “mini-strokes” or transient ischemic attacks (TIA). His personality changed, too.
I reply in kind and so, "IF" I sound "combative", or dismissal, or perhaps even "rude", it's because I give back double ( just like Trump ! ), what I get first.
Those posters who claim that I "toot my own horn"/pat myself on the back, are those who feel intimidated by my posts/just disagree with the facts I post; nothing more and nothing less. I don't claim to know everything ( I'm the first one to say that I don't and that the more I know, the more I need to know about any given topic! ); never have done, never shall do.
Oh this particular topic, I have been, since I was a small child, interested in the kings and queens of Europe, so read up on all of them; for as far back as I could and as far forward, as the present day.
Coming from an Anglophilic family, of course I gravitated towards all things English and the Brit monarchy. A life long interest that I continue to keep up with. Present day occurences are just tomorrow's history, after all.
I would have appreciated your "concern" about my health ( which is probably far better than you imagine ), if it wasn't just another backhanded impugnation and slur.
Sorry to hear about your father...truly I am! My much belated condolences; it is never easy to lose a parent.
Totally inappropriate to play doctor online with someone you have never met. After that kind of remark, you’re in no position to call someone else rude.
Ouch!
Get her, regulator.
I'll make the popcorn.
