Even by your standards this is an unnecessarily aggressive response
I disagree with your second point although sadly there is no arguing with the first

I see where's he coming from though
I liked the books. Not rabidly, but well enough, and I get bored of people proclaiming that 42 is the meaning of life and then looking all proud of themselves.

What are the chances of me looking proud of myself?
Ever?

that is irrelevant to this or any other discussion

No it isn't
You made it apparent that people who give the response I gave above and look proud of themselves annoy you. I was illustrating that I am unlikely to have fulfilled the second half of the criteria

Oh, I SEE! You were riffing on my low self-esteem to ensure that I know my place and concede the argument! WELL done, you must be SO proud

I'm not in the habit of using people's insecurities to win arguments.
what I was saying wasn't even aimed at you, but justifying my empathy for Chompy's point.

Frankly, I'm slightly offended that you think I've done what you've described in your post.

I don't really, it was meant to be a joke. Apparently not very well-delivered
I wouldn't believe you to be capable of such a thing, you're not Chompy or Bert. Apologies for offending you

probably my fault for not getting the delivery
it was only slight. One of the few things that annoys or upsets me is people who should know me better (not that you necessarily fall in that category) totally not being able to predict how I might act or respond to something.

Oh, that wasn't a turnabout-is-fair-play manoeuvre?
Then I retract my nice one. As it were.

Rest assured that if I ever felt you were acting in a manner I felt to be off
I would gaz you about it rather than having it out here, annoyingly your good opinion matters to me. I did wonder about that post as I entered it. That'll learn me

Nice one Vippers.

Especially
given as he was poking fun at people who look for a meaning to life. As I understand it, he was an proponent of evolution and therefore pretty likely to be in the "there isn't one" camp.
