Right. deep breath.
TSC I apologise unreservedly for my (rather out of character, if I do say so myself) narky comment about 'poor people like you'. FWIW I have absolutely no idea what the state of your finances is like, and if I hit a raw nerve to any people who are really struggling then I am sorry.
I did apologise however, in my post to Psammy, and I did admit it was below the belt.
By way of explanation, I probably vastly over-reacted, but I read your comment about Pag and Spiderslegs as your implying that they are among a group of posters who go out of their way to make people feel inferior because they have a few quid. I get a bit tired of it being ok to really be vicious about certain people, or certain types of people on MN just because they are seen as fair game due to being wealthy or privately educated or a Tory voter or all/any of those things, and TSC, you must admit that is one of your specialist topics.
By further way of explanation, I would ordinarily have taken it as the joke it was, or just an unfortunately worded post, but sadly, in light of some things I keep reading on here lately, I am perhaps seeing spitefulness and jealousy where perhaps there is none intended?
You made a comment upthread that was a thinly veiled continuation of your pet vendetta and I'm tired of hearing about it. So I over-reacted in a way I am not proud of. I have no 'back history' or 'problem' with you that you need to be aware of. HTH.
