Bully for you. What has that got to do with it?


What it means is that if you think eating GM might be bad for you
then
stay away from all conventional crop varieties since we don't know
what
genetic changes happened to yield the required characters, unlike
GM.
Also don't eat cauliflower, Brussel sprouts or broccoli, all
mutant
cabbages. Who knows what genetic sequences caused these? some may
have
happened because, gasp!, a virus went haywire and disrupted some
vital
genes. Oh and also stay away from organge carrots, nature meant
carrots
to be green.


I don't think that eating GM crops is necessarily bad for you, so
the
above paragraph is irrelevant. 1/10 for the patronising attitude,
I've
seen it done much better.

Well since you think that then the first sentence indicates the above
was not aimed at you ;-)

You taking the **** or what? ha ha ha. what is it you do there,
gardening?

To assume that I speak for the University of Dundee is to be deluded.

If you advertise the fact, then you do, otherwise lose the
assosciation. Have they authorised you to talk a load of ******** on
their behalf?




Would you mind awfully not crossposting to demon.local, please?

Yes I would object greatly. I read from demon.local because it amuses
me to do so.

Also, I couldn't find your signature and we do like to keep an eye on
them,
you know.

What is the mathematical equation used to establish permitted
properties for sigs, will this do?

Just as I thought: you're one of those bolshie protestors, aren't you?
You'll not fit in well here, you know. We keep very high standards in
demon.local, you know.

Why, we even have our own vicar here *and* a famous author *and* someone who
once tried to make it big in the theatre, but failed miserably.


The facts expressed here belong to everybody,
the opinions to me.
The distinction is yours to draw...

I'm a horny devil when riled.

Your sig is way too big to fit in to demon.local, but don't take my word for
it. Messrs. Barker and Oldfield, our gruesome twosome, will be along shortly
to curse and swear at you. HTH. HAND.
