   Jesus Ker-sist! What a stalker we have here! I lived there, you did not. You   
   are originally an Islander, who now lives in the lowlands, and 'various   
   members' here may have 'shot down' as you put it, some unspecified fact - by   
   virtue of what?   
      
   And now you contest 3 Scottish sites over spelling? ROFL! How vague could   
   you get in your refutations?   
      
      
   What else have you to say?

   I doubt many people would own it too. Especially you, who have never been   
   there.

   I am not an American, lowlander. It is YOU who want to possess something,   
   and you can't have it, so you deny it. Get over your grotesque posturing!

   Claims now! This nitwit needs to make me less than him so that others will   
   not be deceived by actual inhabitants!

   You are a fraud, lowlander. You can convince the newsgroup, but what do they   
   really know of their own exerience that they would write to someone such as   
   you?   
      
   Stop stalking me with your denial of life's experiences. It is an obscenity,   
   and you are obsessed.
