So do you believe the official report or not?

[Baldemort]

Idiot.

Haha. Oh, the irony. *offers handshake back*

I hate smileys.

I think anybody with a fairly rudimentary grasp of the English language would see from your posts in this thread that your use of grammar is below the level of most teenagers. I can only assume you're not from England. Or possibly a particularly slow teenager. Maybe your keyboard has a mind of it's own.

Now, to the matter at hand, my challenged little friend. The comment was posted to make clear to those of us who understand English, that in no way, shape or form was I going to attempt to influence anybody's opinion, and hence, the outcome of the poll. I'm not saying for a moment that my powers of persuasion are that effective, but I didn't want anybody of your intellectual ilk to somehow put two and two together and come up with three, and imply that my initial post was going to affect the outcome and validity of the poll.

Now, if that's not clear enough for you, try this link first, then get back to me.

"I won't say too much at this stage" is a thinly vailed suggestion that you know ****.

[Baldemort]

Hang on, we could have some fun with this.

Retard!

Right, i'm off to the gym. I expect a **** load of abuse waiting for me to laugh at by the time I get back.

Mr Baldermart, my initial question as to whether you had information on the reasons behind Keane leaving was genuine, i did take your sentence of "I won't say too much at this stage as I don't want to taint the outcome of the poll" to infer that, if i was wrong then sorry, the other bit about influencing posters with your opinion was in jest, i think i even added a

If i've gone down the wrong road with this then apologies, but i really thought it was a valid question.

No it isn't. I give up. Oh, and it's 'veiled', not 'vailed'.

I'll stop making a fool of you now. You're doing such a wonderful job of it yourself.

It's all good. It's just the interweb mate. *handshake's RedRascal*

Oh bugger it.

Nope. I've already made my opinions on the matter clear elsewhere. If I came out with the same stuff all over again, some folks would just say I was trying to affect the outcome of the poll.

[Baldemort]

Thanks

You're very welcome. Right, now I really am off to the gym. Back in a bit folks...

Baldemort, you may know syntax and grammar but it seems to me you know f*ck all about setting up polls and interpreting the raw data.

There are lots of possible reasons for the departure - some sinister, others not so sinister. To lump together all the reasons other than Keane's poor form into one option hopelessly taints the data collected.

You've already replied to that.

I've come on this thread thinking RedDrascal, Baldemort and Operation were nice guys and I'm leaving unable to get the thought from my mind that they're a bunch of idiots and retards. I think I may have been unduly influenced.
