Don't know why not stating an alternative makes me a dick but it's irrelevant, I've been defending pakistan's record for months now and i said this right after the post you quoted
Again, a little less snark please. Every other post of yours has a bit where you come off as an annoying prat.
Better than a self-righteous prat who for some reason thinks their own **** doesn't stink.
Mighty rich coming from the poster who for some reason acts like they're suddenly gods gift to the forum, & somehow morally superior than everyone else. It's a mindbogglingly annoying style if you want to know the truth, yet you seem to think it's fine when you're an absolute condescending righteous **** to the likes of HB, ***** & Shri, which we see all the time, telling them off like they're school kids & correcting them as if you're the new Indian forum leader (as Jono joked about) & the world authority on all matters. lol. Only you seem to think it's perfectly okay when you do it, especially to other India posters, which I've always found a little bizarre. And I'm not referring to the comments that are obviously jokes between you guys either.
You also need to look at the definition of snide mate, If I've got any fault, it's that I'm too straight up & opinionated & I'll disagree with anyone if that's how I feel about an issue, regardless of who it is, which incidentally has always served me well in business. So if you want to call me out for that, I'll be happy to take it on the chin.
So I'll continue to post what I think & you carry on the way you post, but don't call me snide when I asked you a straight up question & since I've admittedly been giving Furball a good old-fashioned ribbing about the 4-0 result in the last couple of days, all in good fun. If you can't see the difference with that, I can't help further.
And BTW I don't really care that you treat those other guys in the manner you do or about your posting style, because they're big boys and can defend themselves & I'm more interested in your cricket arguments, but *** if I'm going to let you attack me, when you give it out as good as the next man.
I suggest for the sake of the forum if somebody annoys you, you place them on ignore rather than calling them an annoying prats, like you would on a school bus, unless of course you want to be attacked back, which I don't think is any good for the forum. Cheers.
