Real ale, I do like
Lager, is OK too, as long as it's decent lager, don't really care about tomatoes one way or the other.

I don't recall having a go at people for liking sport, I was merely expressing my own dislike of it, somewhat exaggerated for comedic purposes.

The fact that people take it personally when you say you don't like sport is going on my list of reasons why I hate it.

yeah, you did
you wanted us to be actively unhappy about something so that you could take pleasure in that fact. That's pretty much having a go, albeit indirectly

This is one interpretation.
but it's about the same as me taking "sport is wonderful and I like it, why do you like it too?" as a personal attack, and I reckon I'd be a retard to do that.

Both are expressing a point of view and asking others to agree, just from different points of view. I'll grant you mind was rather negative, but it was also at least a bit tongue in cheek.

I wouldn't care either way
but now you're backing down. If you're going to be a miserable mary about something at least grow the stones to follow through on it.

and, it's not anything like the example you give. It would be the same as going "sport is wonderful and I enjoy actively taking pleasure in the fact you dislike it" ... in case you wondered.

I'll stand by what I said.
one sec, let me try and work out the opposite of you example.

"sport is horrid and I enjoy actively disliking in the fact you take pleasure in it"

I don't think that's what I said. It was pretty much "I don't like sport, and I hope that whatever team is playing loose so I don't have to hear about it" With a strong undertone of "sport sucks".

I'm trying to work how I'd feel if someone said this about a thing I like, but then they don't have special segments on the news for "a good book"...... I'm fairly sure I didn't chuck my toys out the pram when people made jokes about Terry Pratchet loosing his marbles and that's a think I care about.

I disagree but I suspect it's merely interpretation on both of our parts.
I'm not sure who's throwing any toys. I pointed out that you're being a miserable shit, which you can hardly disagree with, since not one single thing in your original post is anything other than negative. You can try and disagree with it though, if you like?

I also attempted to make something out of the thread by asking a follow-up question in the manner that your original thread was launched, offering you the option to discuss something of interest to you, but you chose to ignore it, so I can only assume you just want abuse.

Nah, fuck it
I think I was being a miserable shit. I still maintain I was a correct miserable shit.

excellent.
It's good to see a man standing up for his miserable shitness. Well played sir.

Meh, I'm a moody cunt
it goes up as well as down. I'm about to fuck off home early so now I'm happy.

You want them to shut the fuck up.
Which is pretty rude, people have interests that don't coincide with yours, that's life. I would much rather hear someone talk about something they're passionate about,than either bore someone with something I care about and they don't or get them to fake an interest in whatever I like.
It's part of normal social interaction which seems to be an alien concept for most of the internet.

Are you sure?
'Cause I could blither on about real ale for a long time...

As long as you don't make me drink that pond water you call home brew I wouldn't mind.

That year's was a bad batch, I'll admit
I have successfully fed portions of the subsequent year's batch to both real people and b3tans, none of whom reported any untoward side effects.

Is that because they're all dead?

Possibly...I haven't heard back from them...

I will of course take your views on what constitutes normal social interaction to heart.
And add "complete lack of sense of humour" to my afore mentioned list.

I have an excellent sense of humour, I'm very witty.
