The rest was earlier and elsewhere, I was a little taken aback by those previous comments at the time but not having any reason to believe they were more than jest I tried to take them that way.

Anyway -
"Southern Club Racer" is something I called myself recently as a joke; "bent left", "drug seizure" etc take as written it doesn't seem too cryptic; "happy days are here again" quotes something I wrote. It seems pretty clear to me.
As I said in the above post it started as a PM so was aimed at the person and the (confusing for my part) situation between us, but as I continued it became a "that's all folks". I don't think my understanding of the situation will befuddle Chris too much.

As someone who tries to see the light-hearted side of things I am upset that I have managed to get to this point with someone who I had no beef with, in fact I don't really remember saying much at all to Chris except in reply, although this may not be accurate. I vaguely recall saying that I would like to meet him during Targa Tas' one year but that may well have been someone else with a similar pseudonym.
I am not leaving because of what was said even though I thought it low, I leave because I have somehow caused offence to someone somehow, unknowingly, and that is something I regret.

After going through this again I think maybe the earlier stuff wasn't meant to be too harsh and I think I probably should have restrained myself a bit better with my comments post election but the drug thing is something I find pretty dirty and below the belt. Maybe it doesn't seem so to others.

Prior to the "lefty" "bent left" post I thought I had agreed with Chris about the need to change gov'ts occasionally to stop them becoming too extreme, so I don't know how I got from there to being someone who would vote Labour because less drugs were allegedly seized during Labour's previous time in office.
I think my comments, tipsy or not, were hardly radical when compared to others I've seen, including the rather unnerving ones I mentioned.

Tim.
