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".


What is my "ilk"?
