It's King Canute.
Greedy landlords rub their hands with glee as Londoners queue in the cold to buy flats

Oh I see.
That did cross my mind but I credit editor with more perspicacity than that.
Perhaps I am wrong on that front and should categorise him as belonging to your serried ranks of keyboard bound hard men with little courage but much vibrant insults, hurled from as far a distance as possible in the crudest of terms.
A slingshot army of the lame.
There's no categorical conclusion on that but he is usually referred to in academic circles, especially when I studied him, as King Cnut.
But good point, well made and valuable contribution etc...

i see you believe Apryl's claim that i am leader of these boards
Not going to even bother with that.
If you have a point, make it.
Being cryptic is not big or clever, it means thst you are, at best, being a dick and treating your correspondent with arrogant contempt.

i have yet to see any reason why i should not treat you with anything but 'arrogant contempt' - or any other sort of contempt, for that matter.

We're all still waiting for you to apologise for the racism accusations, by the way.
And the reason the third guy in the OP is being held up as an example of all that is wrong in this is because he's the only one that talks about watching his investment skyrocket. He's blatantly in it for the money, not as a home for himself or his family. Not because he's from outside the UK.

And you'd know, that's how you seem to be treating anyone who disagrees with you.
But that's your default setting in any event.
Trying to persuade you down from your high horse is more or less impossible.

But he does not say "skyrocket"!

that'd be fine, only it's a load of auld bollocks. you've earned my 'arrogant contempt' through your lying and questionable posts.

And from the wikipedia page (probably not highbrow enough for you academic types):
So either name is correct.

yes, you have shown your mendacity quite meticulously. but in your place it's not the sort of thing i'd boast of.

So many particulars. So many questions.
the lame you say. Isn't that rather insulting to those who have limited mobility. etc.

It wasn't a literal quote, that being obvious as it wasn't in quote form or "in quotes". I thought you had studied such things with academics?

it's been established above that yer man's an ignorant muddleheaded wanker. so i don't think it's entirely fair to take him to task for this.

I have sciatica so find it quite offensive but not as offensive as someone with a serious leg injury obviously.
But that is key to how this whole affair has been brought to people's attention on this website.
The thread title is a misrepresentation of what the man said and that's suspicious, as any misrepresentation should be.

An argument that was made quite reasonably on about page four or five without attracting torrents of abuse because the posters who made the argument weren't ignorant cocks. If you're going to bend over with your trousers down you can't really complain when people queue up to give you a kick.

As someone with a physical disability I do find use of the word 'lame' as a perjorative on the boards quite offensive to be honest. Sometimes I pick people up on it, sometimes I don't, depending on if I can be arsed with the backlash.
But it's a bit rich of Diamond to complain about 'epileptic trees' being offensive to epileptics notably himself when he's happy to mock others with disabilities.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I recall that before getting sciatica you were openly mocking the disabled, even unto the point of pretending to lick a window. Once you got sciatica however, you changed your tune

I have arthritis in four verterbrae, meaning limited movement sometimes.
In disability top trumps should you be more offended than me at the use of 'lame' or is it the other way round?

i think you can each be equally offended.

I was mocking an earlier argument of Diamond's and you win because I only have it in two to my knowledge.
