Cute, but it doesn't wash and is simply another in a long line of semi-slanders you've attempted to push in my direction--only to find, much to your disappointment I note, that some folks push back.
The implication in those three sentences is that, at some misty time in the past, I "started in" on the U.K. and a hero arose to defend her honor: Maddy old boy Ivan.
We both know that that implication is as untrue as the day is long.
Indeed, it's another semi-slander; but my posting history is open to one and all whom wish to retrace those steps and invest the time to read it, as is yours. Suffice it to say (and again, we BOTH know this; you're not kidding anyone but yourself) that you fired a posted, unprovoked shot across my bow in an attempt to impress someone you apparently perceived needed "rescuing" or "help" in that opening sally between us; you got taken to serious task in the subsequent flame war and came out looking somewhat ridiculous in the aftermath; and that's where it ended--at least as far as I was concerned.
Fast forward to now: I post a comment to a thread, not even thinking about you or that past entanglement or anything else, really, and suddenly Maddy old boy is back on the warpath again.
ALL of this--every bit of it--has been initiated by you, for whatever reason (Paging Dr. Freud...). That said, as long as you want to keep it up, I'm game. Pathetic as it continues to make you look with every outing...
I am sure the mods are watching. If they examine the record, they'll note I said nothing to you for months on end. You decided to leap in on a thread I posted a couple of days ago with your rude and insulting behaviour and you've been determined to be rude and insulting ever since. I realise you have an exaggerated image of yourself, but your smear attempts will not wash.
I have nothing further to say to you.
Ivan
