+t takes two to tango.

To be honest, why should I? Just to annoy him? I don't even think it could,
because we probably share the same views on all those issues anyway? Björn has
never been insultive or annoying in any such discussions. In fact he has
himself critisized his own country and many of it's political system number of
times here. So, that would not at all trigger his "bad side" I think.

No.. why should I? I think you all are to easily annoyed, and should have
followed the common rule of not getting to easily annoyed. I've had to deal
with that for many years here, and it works. The worst you can do to a person
that is trying to annoy you, is to refrain from responding!

I have totally given up discussing anything with certain persons here, because
it always ends up in insults and bad language, even thought I've never done
that myself.

You are as far as I'm concerned turning this case completely upside down.

Look at your friends over there. Tell them what you here seem to think of them.
Isn't that exactly what they do? Or are you proud of their behaviour here?
Again; It takes two to tango.

Oh, come on! You don't honestly mean that, do you? It's as easy as hell. I have
not responded to s single message by either Ross or Roy for many years, and
they don't bother me personally any more. It works!

You arer to easily annoyed. You should have tried the ignorance approach loong
time ago.

PS!
I wonder how long it's going to take untill I get the full unsivilized Roy/Ross
treatment and comments for writing my oppinions here this time. I'll bet you
it's not going to take long. Let's wait and see. :-) (I hope I'm wrong on this
though!)
