It's a very old and not really very funny joke line. It just points out that I don't have to name the person as they recognise themselves from my description. Also, this person usually gets a bit annoyed if I actually do name them in such discussions so I usually don't do so. It wasn't you ! :-) If you weren't convulsing on the floor it can't have been you :-) He only posts very very very rarely, but may contact people offlist. He and I actually agree on quite a lot of things but we do rather differ in the fine detail. He is very what people would call "right wing" in his beliefs. So much so that he considers Adolph Hitler to have been "left wing" - and I can se why he says that, but most people think of Hitler as having been far right wing. All of which is why I wrote what I did. The prior post was almost the exact opposite of his core beliefs and would have upset him greatly if he'd read it. But what wrote was meant to be funny throughout -but may have lost something "in translation".
