What would John Wayne have said?

As Rabel stated, no, you did not.

None of this would matter, if halfway through the thread you hadn't claimed that you said something completely different from what you actually said in the original post. Everyone can read what you wrote; you never referenced any character or any action of John Wayne at all. You just ascribed certain opinions to him.

You ought to own up and admit that you were wrong; or, as I said earlier, why shouldn't anyone think that you're full of ****?

lock up the thread boys, we have a winner

In which case there would be no thread and no forum. But maybe that would be better given the character of some of the posts. Sometimes nothing is better than some things.
