I think (and I don't mean this in the wrong way) that this is importantOriginally posted by Beef Oven View Post
the person I referred to earlier is in many ways very successful indeed
(ok he was "messed up" by going to a catholic school ........ but lets not go there again
)
has 5 A levels , Degree from highly rated University and a Phd etc
BUT still has a kind of "chippyness" that I find puzzling...... ok, his grandparents were Irish immigrants etc etc
why should that matter so much ?
In the world that I work in what matters is what you do NOT what your parents or grandparents did or how much land they owned etcComment

Having read through this thread as far as page 6 it would seem to me that if Simon didn't mean Beef Oven when he complained about trivial responses he should have done. His (Beef Oven's) responses to serious contributions is inevitably a sneer, with no attempt to engage in the argument. A sort of poor man's Simon.Comment

He - or rather someone on the BBC - did, in the early 1980s: it was one of the jibes that was the basis of Derek Jameson's disastrous libel action against the "Week Ending" programme...
Jameson’s broadcasting career was also remarkable in that it came late in his life, and was the indirect consequence of a libel case against the BBC in 1984... Jameson launched a financially ruinous suit against the Radio Four comedy programme Week Ending, which he lost. The costs forced him to accept a job with the very broadcaster which had been the source of his complaint.
The show had described him as an “East End boy made bad”, who “believed that 'Erudite’ was a glue” and had arrived in journalism “uncluttered with taste or talent”. His editorial principles, according to Week Ending, were based on “all the nudes fit to print and all the news printed to fit”. Jameson, the programme suggested, “is to journalism what lockjaw is to conversation”.(From Daily Telegraph obituary, 2012)
The jury found that it was all fair comment and Jameson had to pay everyone's costs..
(BTW if this isn't bang on-topic on a thread about 'Class', I don't know what it!)
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
