English Civil War

So we've had the royalists, but where are the songs of the Parliament, the independents, the weirdos and the sects?
Dont tell me they were silent, or did a restored monarch suppress them all?

I would have posted up your last WHOmail if I felt I could do so without prior warning.
I'm sure some would have found it amusing.
You now have prior warning that I feel free to post up any future WHOmails you send me. Or not to post them if I don't feel like it.
NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN US IS PRIVATE

ioc: why do you keep offering me discussions by WHO mail?
Why do you assume it's your words of wisdom I wanted to read when I tried to get your discussion back on track?

You want a real discussion on the issue, you know where to find me, away from the point-scoring and other posters with agendas. The meaning is very clear to me, so I disagree with you and the guy. If you don't want to discuss it on whomail, I guess life will go on.
If the guy wants to pick it back up in meaningful way, open to that as well.
Have a good night.

PS I pointed out your original blunder in completely neutral terms - I didn't gloat or anything at all.
I thought it was a shame that your discussion was dying because of a misunderstanding.
But you're not really interested in a discussion, just in justifying your arrogance.

I think he did good research, you just have re- contextualise some of his conclusion, I agree.

Not surprised you're still concentrating on grammar.
"Fred said he didn't like people who called him anything but Fred" doesn't mean that these people Fred didn't like never called him Fred.
It just means they sometimes called him ironsofcanada, or something other than Fred.
(Don't think I don't know what you're doing - "Over the course of the season" and changing the verb stresses the habitual aspect, whereas the original sentence and my example could be a one-off action, which does not rule out subsequent or prior different actions)

Sorry to keep the language absolutely consistent
"the coach employed 442, 4231, 4321, anything other than 352."

"Over the course of the season, the coach employed 442, 4231, 4321, anything but 352." In what world does that mean he also used 352; it, in fact stresses the opposite.
Whomail a sentence where it does in English and I will happily discuss it with you.

You know exactly what he means, but pathetically prefer to pretend otherwise to get a "victory".
The question of grammar is secondary, but you're wrong there, too.

Don't be silly.
When someone says they use "anything other than" x, it means they don't use x; it is quite clear and unequivocal English.
In your eagerness to fight someone else's battles (I wonder why) your reading has let you down.

He wrote "In actual fact it's the accolytes of Tory Peer and arch Thatcherite Hugh Thomas like John Morrill, Mark Kishlansky, Kevin Sharpe and Conrad Russell that called it the British Civil Wars or the War of 3 kingdoms or anything other than English Revolution."
What you are reading is "In actual fact it's the accolytes of Tory Peer and arch Thatcherite Hugh Thomas like John Morrill, Mark Kishlansky, Kevin Sharpe and Conrad Russell that ONLY called it the British Civil Wars or the War of 3 kingdoms or anything other than English Revolution."
