		<description>Finally, if you want NAMA to be scrapped we most definitely are in total agreement, and you can pee down my leg and i&#039;ll still respect that viewpoint. Over and out.</description>

		<description>Liam, i&#039;m sure you can appreciate, what goes on in ones head is rather tricky translating into grammer, words and tone that hit&#039;s the right spot every time leaving everybody satisfied. I&#039;m always keeping in mind my posts are not just been read by one person.</description>

		<description>More interestingly and for the record, &lt;i&gt;&quot;I don&#039;t play the man i play the ball&quot;&lt;/i&gt;, etc 

Your opening tone, the fact that you misquote me deliberately and that you do so out of context suggests otherwise.  Your tactic of switching from one thread to the next to ensure that you can ignore some of my comments and focus on the ones where you can score points or at least destroy the continuity of any discussion is also telling.  It very rich for you to accuse me of sensitivity when your initial response to the post that got us started is to attempt to shout me down in no less than three separate posts, one of which refers to &lt;i&gt;&quot;business gobblegook&quot;&lt;/i&gt;, which since you have yet again shifted threads, I am left to infer refers to the nature of my language. And this is you playing the ball, not the man? 

Those are all the tactics of the people we should be directing all of this energy at instead of each other. 

None of this helps you to get your initial point across and just results in this ridiculous series of exchanges.  All the more ironic as I agree with much of what you have to say.  And all of this because I dared to question your poorly expressed position in the first place.  

I am sure that you have thought all of this through and know exactly what it is that you want to say inside your own head in a fraction of a second but Wills sometimes you are far too smart for your own good.</description>

		<description>All the more reason to feed the banks to the sharks, as I have always said.  The extent of this problem, if indeed it exists is a complete unknown and guesswork, as I have said, not a matter of unassailable fact.  You cannot attack NAMA with speculation, you can only do so with what you know to be true.  And there is enough risk as it to call the whole thing off, in addition to this, which you quite rightly highlight.</description>
