You have no 'points'; at least not outside of your otherwise vacuous mind. I say the residents of Lamma (aka 'Lahaaa-maaa') are losers; you say they are stand up fellows. End of story. Let those who have ever been there make up their own mind. At the end of the day, 7 million people live in HK and, remind me again, how many choose to live on Lamma?

As will be more than abundantly clear from the (so-called) 'responses' by the (quite clearly) sub-literate 'I've got ants in my pants' twit 'YSW' above, when a fundamental doctrine is universally held by members of a distinct social group (such as, for example, the motley band of Lamma-Losers), the said members frequently see any criticism of their doctrine/thesis (viz., in case case, 'Lamma residents are normal') as not merely intellectually and/or empirically mistaken, but in fact as something that ought not to be thought in the first place (the sheer number of 'posts' above hint at such an attitude on the part of the 'I've just trodden in a dog turd, again' (self-appointed) Lamma Residents' Association defender/spokesmoron 'YSW'). Thankfully, however, as evinced by the sheer number of PMs I have received supporting me on this issue, there still exists a community of posters who see the doctrine of 'Lamma is normal and its residents are sane beings' as a point of view open to debate like any other, rather than an untouchable axiom.

YSW,

You've evidently struck a very raw and sensitive nerve. The child is getting more and more demoralized, delusional, hysterical and incoherent with every post -- which regularly occurs on these forums just before we lose him again.

Be patient. Cool

Give it a rest, 'TSW', you are getting tiresome. Everyone can see that all you are trying to do is to get the thread locked so that it falls from the top of the board so that, in turn, no one can be exposed to an alternative viewpoint as regards the losers who inhabit 'Laaahmaa Island, man'. (Besides, shouldn't you be off smoking dope or something somewhere?)

Perhaps you are not aware, but the 'P' in 'PM' actually stands for 'private', and private they shall remain.

And although it rather kills the joke somewhat to have to spell it for the slower ones among us, 'poultry', as opposed to 'paltry', was an instance of wit, though of course one requires a sense of humour to appreciate it ('poultry' as in 'chicken feed', get it? No, I thought not). Actually I am surprised that Kowloony did not get this, after all, he must have a great sense of humour what with pretending to own (read 'working at') a hack 'tutorial centre' and all.

The intended pun - using poultry instead of paltry - as suggested by 11.59 does not ring true as he would have continued by spelling foul - fowl, so as to make the pun more credible - unfortunately he didn't!
