i actually believe that the 'cretin' comment was meant as a joke...
byblos is just trying to move beyond the insults that occurred earlier in the thread and probably was making light of the cannon-thing.
if i'm wrong here, byblos please feel free to call me a cretin again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />
kiy - sometimes in english we use a completely ridiculous statement to show humor - even without a 'smiley' face attached becasue it's assumed all will know that it can't be a true statement, so it must be humor.
