Do you get joy from being a moronic killjoy?

Why not let those of us who wish to mourn an icon do so without
childish carping?


No one's carping, merely making an observation. If you wish to wallow in
nostalgia then don't let me stop you.

When someone makes a reference to horse-buses, it goes much further than
"merely making an observation". It is sarcastic nonsense and, frankly, beneath
contempt.

You and your ilk have successfully got rid of a design icon in favour of trash
- you have clearly won the argument, as far as T.F.L., Livngstone and
Hendy-Bendy are concerned. Is it really so offensive to you that some of us
should put forward, as has been on this thread many times, the cogent arguments
against this retrograde step?

Or, as I have already said, not content with winning the battle, is your
victory not complete without rubbing our (the losers') noses in it? Even
Germans were (and are) allowed to mourn their Nazi losses without churlish
objections from people suggesting that they are "wallowing in nostalgia".
