Is there not a difference between being interested in extreme weather,
and enjoying it? Especially when that enjoyment takes no account of the
misery being caused to others living closer to the ocean?

Then one should not enjoy any type of weather, because they all bode ill
for someone. That's a ludicrous proposition.

Either that, or someone has a guilty conscience.

Would you enjoy a violent thunderstorm? Of course you would.

Would you enjoy a violent thunderstorm which was stationary over your
house, with several lightning strikes reducing half of your house to
rubble, large hail smashing your conservatory and greenhouse, and
sewage coming up through your toilet due to the sheer volume of
rainwater swamping the area?

No, thought not; but for all you know - one or any combination of these
may be happening to some poor unfortunate under a storm that you are
enjoying from a safe distance.


Or are you suggesting that we should all find an interest in a topic
that we don't enjoy? Equally ludicrous.




The messiah ecourages the recruitment of his disciples by means of
one-upmanship, and envy of the messiah's exalted position. He survives
on his pinnacle firm in the belief that many others would wish to have
his experiences (which is highly debateable), and because they will
defend him from the slightest criticism, whether justified or not.


To be fair, this subthread is the result of he who will jump down WH's
throat at the slightest excuse.

Dullish responds to more Hand posts than anyone else and it is almost
always critical. Part of his campaign to make this NG a better place for
Dullish.

What does it feel like after reducing yourself to the abusive level of larry? I thought better of you than that and I have maintained a level of politeness with you through our sparring. I still will, even though you clearly want to make this personal. It's a shame you have been reduced to this, David.

Hardly abuse, a comment about a poorly judged statement you made. And this from someone who frequently issues the one word comment, idiot.

I'm not making this personal, I'm responding to the personal comment you made to Will. Go back and read the question, which was effectively asking if anyone knew of a wetter place in England.

Here is your comment to remind you. "Not really cool at all, Will (your question mark invited comment). Why anyone would actually enjoy these conditions is a mystery to me and to everyone else except for a select few like yourself. *))" What part of that answers the question Will made?

It doesn't. We all know that Will is impressed with the record amount of rainfall, hence the cool remark that you have completely (and deliberately) misinterpreted.

None of us would wish anyone to suffer loss of life, injury or damage to property as a result of weather, but it does. Fact. But you are suggesting that Will is somehow gaining pleasure from this. He isn't. Now go listen to John Kettley as I suggested and try to understand that many of us have an emotional attachment to weather, something you seem incapable of comprehending.

If you don't want to post here; go away for good. If you can't leave, put up with the criticism when you wallow in personal records, about which few, except one or two acolytes profess that they care about.


Are you seriously suggesting that in usw, which is a newsgroup that has
the word "weather" in its title, posts about the level of record
rainfall at user locations are unwelcome?

In your opinion. In the opinion of others, it was well-made.

I have read what is written. Perhaps what is written is not what you
think you said, but you have faced that criticism before. I shall re-
quote them, that you may read them yourself.

[...]if you can't leave, put up with the criticism when you wallow in
personal records, about which few, except one or two acolytes profess
that they care about.

It implies quite clearly that you will criticise the posting of personal
records although to be fair you probably meant only the personal records
of Mr Hand. It states that Mr Hand should put up with that criticism.

Quite why you should bring that up now though is a mystery, because I
can't recall the last time Will complained about your criticism. He
appears to be putting up with it quite well, thank you very much. Maybe
that is what is causing you a little angst, perhaps. Well I'm sorry, but
if Will fails to respond your taunts Paul, you should just put up with
it.

It also implies quite clearly that only acolytes of Mr Hand are
interested in them although what you probably meant is that you are not
interested in them. How many acolytes are interested in your forecasts,
Paul[1]? Why do you post them?




[1] A little change in attitude, some humility perhaps, and you would
get a far better response to your forecasts. It's sad that after all
this time, you still haven't worked that out.

It does and he should when he adds things like; "cool eh" about achieving a "personal" record, with no expression of sympathy for others who really would not care, in a situation where those others are experiencing so much misery.

Notice that, after reading everything he reads on this thread and somehow imagining that by saying he has left the group, he is beyond criticism, he's down exactly the same again.

He is not "putting up with it quite well, as This is the first time for a year that I have criticised anything he has posted, as he said himself he's stopped posting, but can't actually resist.

The acolytes identify themselves by their words.

In your opinion - which is exactly what you don't like about mine. *))

It's not going well, is it?

My "winter" DJF total is now 923.1 mm.



A record metre (1000mm) of rain this winter is now certain, but how much

more than a metre?



I must be the wettest place in England apart from a few higher spots on

Dartmoor?

Cool eh? No problems with flooding either, free draining soil is still

workable :-)

Hi, Will,
Good to hear from you!
I'm afraid your Haytor thread has been hijacked by bickerers so I put some figures on Bruce's thread. Still not sure Seathwaite will be below average. All good stuff though.

cannot wait to read my manual gauge :-)
