It's funny to me that you care so much about him but you don't seem to ask him over to your house for an evening every now and then. Sure he'd probably be uncomfortable in the centrally heated little house, he probably enjoys sitting out on the side of the Tramore Road in the bitter cold of a winter's afternoon supping away at the couple of cans of Dutch Gold that he got as a "present" from one of his new "friends". After all, for some people chronic impoverishment and alcohol addiction is a lifestyle choice and the rest of us are just havin' a bit of fun laughing at thier eccentricity. As your family knows the big secret of what started the slide for Tawdy you seem to think that have the moral high ground on this issue, right? When you're big Seanie, and you figure out how a dictionary works you should look up the word "exploitation" and then go back and tell yer mammy that sometimes people are not laughing WITH our old family friend, they're laughing AT him.

Unless Tawdy posted the pictures himself I think it's an invasion into his privacy, the statement that he is happy with his picture being put up on the internet rings hollow with me. If anybody has an argument to defend the doctored photograph of Tawdy and tell me that it does not strip him of some of his dignity they should put it forward, I wonder how his family would feel about it. I'm not getting into the argument about who loves Tawdy the most and because I'm nice to him I can do this, that or the other.

Ridicule is the lowest form of critisism
and you lost any argument by using it and you also made yourself look a bigger fool than you are already.
aoa321 wrote: Yes I did offer justification, and your refutation is a pathetic exercise in name calling. That's a matter of opinion Seanie, I would have said it's a perfectly valid form of criticism, if you don't want your views or actions criticised don't post them on public message boards. I've made my point, you're pissed and I have no interest in a boring slanging match with you.
I mean, jesus christ, lighten the **** up.
