Bones of 19th century prison ship inmates, which have been buried in mudbank, are not being uncovered.

Human bones including skulls, teeth and vertebrae, litter the shoreline on grisly Deadman's Island off the coast of Sheppey, Kent.

The uninhabited mudbank, which lies just 40 minutes from central London, was used as a mass burial ground for criminals who died on board prison ships, like those referenced in Charles Dicken's novel Great Expectations, in the 1800s.

I never had a problem with anyone that occasionally called out Trump, because there were times when even I felt like calling him out. However, there were several that posted nothing but negatives, and usually lies as well, about Trump. They were the ones I attacked back because without question they were just annoying. We wanted a winner, and none of the rest fit the bill of a winner. Conservative yes, but they would have lost the General Election and the country would have been stuck with Hillary. That's what they didn't understand, and most likely to this day still do not get that reality.

They possessed the vision of Mr. MaGoo.

Let me, MaGoo, be the first to bid the NeverTrumpers who share my lack of vision, adieu. Only difference between me and thee is I have good reason to not see clearly. But even with my blind eyes I see better than thee.

I thought he said he left because he was told he posted stuff that was too long.

I thought he said he left because he was told he posted stuff that was too long.

Nice try, wise-guy, but that was too smart by half.

Not all arrangements of thoughts must be short enough to fit on a bumper sticker.

Sly comments about length, or form, just show you've got nothing much in way of contribution to this thread other than wise-guy smirky-smirk.

There can be a place for that kind of thing, but it can also be rather juvenile.

That is ----unless you'd care to establish for us here that SunkenCiv was told to leave for posting long-ish comments, or left because "he was told he posted stuff that was too long."?

Take your time...all the time you may need. No one who knew him well would be holding their breath waiting for you to produce the comments.

[Zirondelle]

Just responding to what I remember. Not sure why you found that offensive enough to be so rude.

[BlueDragon]

4days later you come back to trying to beg off, acting all innocent-like while calling me rude?

Not buying it. Nobody else should either. You know what you said, I do believe I understand perfectly how you intended it to mean.

You had previously said about SunkenCiv;

I thought he said he left because he was told he posted stuff that was too long.

which was aimed at me, wasn't it?

I could be mistaken (but I'm not, am I?) your latest comment here is just effort on your part to save face, and hopefully get others here to turn against me as as some kind of passive-aggressive "payback".

Spare me that kind of fowl chicken-droppings act. Speak truth, or take a hike. Go play in the freeway, kid.

Have no idea what you are talking about, nor do I care. Please put me on your “ignore” list and I will do the same for you. End of.

So now you play dumb?

Perhaps I am wrong here....yet I did provide opportunity for myself to have been corrected.

I simply didn't believe your comment regarding SunkenCiv. It came across to me as intended insult of myself.

If I am wrong in that, I do apologize. If I was not, then whatever.

Please put me on your “ignore” list and I will do the same for you. End of.

Just be careful of saying things on this forum you may not be able to back up.

Reminds me of the patriots who died on British prison ships during the Revolutionary War in NY harbor.
