Based on what evidence and over what time period please?

Based on close observation and first hand experience from the far side
of the continent on the other side of the Atlantic, one assumes.

And I took you for one of the brighter folk here. :-(

Do grow up and stop being so pathetic.

"Mizter T", let us review how we came to this point:

You interjected your sarcastic remark into a perfectly civil discourse
relating to the quality offered by the two operators on the route from
London to Amersham.You suggested that somehow being a long term
overseas resident invalidated my opinion. In point of fact there is
no reason one cannot take an interest, and follow events from afar.
And, as I pointed out your post was not only rude but incorrect. I
have in fact been in the UK for a while and visited London a number of
times
After I responded, you resorted to words like "pathetic" and
“pompous”.

Well “Mizter T” let us consider the source (you):
Several years back I started to notice posts under the name "Mizter
T". IIRC you posted more on u.t.l than uk.r (BTW are you really a
300lb African American with 8oz of gold bling around his neck? That is
not how I picture you at all). Your posts showed some intelligence
and a level of education. I suspect you attained more than one “O
Level”. Moreover, you showed a good knowledge of subject matter.
What I most enjoyed was that your posts displayed a certain "energy".
You have shown real enthusiasm for London’s transit infrastructure.

On the other hand I noticed a dark side. You were quick to criticize
newcomers. If someone's netiquette was not to your liking we could
expect to see him or her receive a sharp rebuke from you. This is all
very well. But, everybody is new at some point. I find it sad that
someone of your education and ability has to resort to poor manners
and sarcasm.

Why not help new folks along? We would all like good netiquette. I
would settle for good etiquette even, but this is 2011. Good manners
would cost you nothing but buy you so much. Why do you act as if you
are the umpire of UseNet?

Could it be that your use of words like pathetic and pompous are
really your ego defecting your own faults on to others? Think about
it, you wouldn't be the first.

Meanwhile, you have gathered a little group of followers. And
remember, a man is known by the company he keeps. You have Ivor the
"non-poster". He has posted under his chuffchuff moniker since
December of 2009, but rarely says anything of substance. We can only
wonder why he feels the need to jump into this conversation with his
childish banter.

And then, we have our old "pal" the Jobsworth from Lincolnshire. Ross
is precisely what society receives when a small minded man is put into
a uniform. And, if his employer doesn't like his attitude, they have
to deal with his trade union.

So, "Mizter T" (I still wonder why you are taking your name from a
1980s US TV series), it is time for me to killfile Ivor. It is also
time to killfile Mr. Corfield, a sexual deviant in a union protected
public sector job. Paul’s inability to hold together three logical
thoughts, and his tendency to resort to hissy fits when he cannot win
a debate mean his post are not worth reading. And, I do not want to
deal with him.

However, you and Ross will still appear on my home system. But, you
should expect no further direct response from me. End of
conversation, and end of mutual communication. Except to say "F__ you
and f___ the horse on which you rode into town".
