It wasn't atrociously formatted at all - I apologised at the head of the post then supplemented that with the mistake. I then edited to add a footnote - fairly standard and easily understood to most. Understandably not to you though wink

Yes I always put 3 winking faces when I'm being serious laugh

As for your apology - I'd like one since you mistakenly called me a liar. Poor form, even for a cybernat.
Press quote on the offending post and see what is there and what isn't, however if it means that much to you sweetcheeks, I apologise for missing your apology to ARP

Am I reading this wrong, it looks to me like stroppy edited out the apology himself in quoting?

And missed the wink smileys?
Simmer down and take your tinfoil hat off, there's a good lad
He's right though, no tinfoil hattery: you didn't quote my apology and you did miss the point of the wink smileys. Any other sticks' wrong ends you'd like to pounce on? Par for the course really hehe
Oh dear, unlike you I don't demand apologies when posters get it wrong from time to time wink

When is an apology not an apology? When it contains an insincerity and an excuse laugh

I'm not overly bothered about internet shenanigans, tbh. On two occasions however, you explicitly and mistakenly called into question my honesty. An ordinary, decent person would usually apologise on such occasions.

Wouldn't you agree?

Much like the other nationalists, you don't really give a hoot about the 'early days of a better nation.'

Unlike you I apologise when I make an error, and generally try to avoid calling people liars in the first place when I haven't a clue what I'm talking about. I blame the parents wink

But your not overly bothered, then launch into a tirade from your high horse that ends with a personal insult laugh

I've explained twice now that when you quote your "badly formatted" post the apology is nowhere to be seen, I can lead the high horse to water, but I can't make it drink wink

Okay

The SNP promise they will make labour spend an extra £180billion

Where will this money come from?


And what will it be spent on?

Do you think the SNP or Labour care where it comes from, it'll probably come from the Chinese government at 3% interest and to be paid back when SNP and Labour are no longer in power.

I see the nuance of critiquing Wiggles posting style has went over your head

Is that the same Cameron that refused to come up to Scotland to face the electorate and pretended to be in Glasgow and begged Scotland to remain as part of the union, when he was actually in London during the Scottish Referendum?

Blame the behaviour of both Labour & the Tories since the referendum (EVEL, watered down Smith Commission, EU Referendum sop to UKIP and the Tories turning the SNP into the bogeyman)

What are you on about quoting for? You said I deleted it but are barking up a tree in the wrong forest - whether you quote part or all it was never deleted. You were just wrong smile

As I say, I'm not overly bothered. I'm even using smileys and everything. It's quite amusing and intriguing watching you give all sorts of random excuses for mistakenly calling someone a liar when an ordinary gentleman and PHer would just admit their error, apologise and move on.

I didn't insult you, either.

Nope Labour/Gordon Brown won it for the Union by persuading enough Labour voters to vote NO, however that's backfired spectacularly on them since

Thankfully the Tories behaviour since has done more to advance independence than the SNP could ever dream of

I suppose you have evidence that Labour/Gordon Brown won an additional 400,000 or so votes for the no vote?

Only for reasons of educating you (as it's now becoming a chore), when you quote a post you have 2 options, "quote" or "quote all", for brevity I chose to select "quote"

As you had posted the apology at the top of the post and then posted the edit at the bottom of the post sandwiched between the multi-quotes, when I selected the "quote" option instead of "quote all" the apology didn't appear and I mistakenly didn't see the apology that was there when I had originally read the thread, I hope that clears up your confusion

If you press quote on the "offending" post this is what you get (see below)
