In your last spewing session you said, ==================================== <<The difference is that, in spite of their brevity, these Carson summaries must stand on their own as self-explaining stories. So if a reader not familiar with Crystallex or the people who tout the stock on the Internet happens to come across one of our items, he or she may wonder what a guy with an Irish name is doing in Caracas. Referring to him as a transplanted Irish-British national does quite well in a short space. It shows that he has not always lived there, but now makes a living there. This is common in journalism but not something I'd expect you to be up on. Your statement that we may have some "deep-seated resentment" about his being Irish (or British) is simply stupid. It should not surprise a man of the world such as yourself that my name, Collins, is in fact an Irish name. Hollywood made a movie about Irish nationalist Michael Collins a couple of years ago, but I guess you passed it over in favour of Lethal Weapon 3.>> ======================================== Gee I hope you will NEVER ever refer to Michael Collins & yourself again in one paragraph, it is insulting to ALL of the Irish. Now since you are as you said, "I'm also a British national. I was born in Canada but have a nice shiny red UK passport, which gives me the right to live and work anywhere in the EU." Maybe we can change your name then to Jerry "Kisthequeensbuttocks" or maybe since you were born in Canada you should have an Indian name, or else in all of your columns you will have to explain how someone in Canada has an Irish name, just like you do for your Carson spewfest. here are a few names to choose from Jerry "Bornwithatooth" or Jerry "Blowsouthotair" or Jerry "Manwithnoballs" oh well, you choose.
