@ghost-of-a-duke saidEven in that sentence, 'it' refers to applauding.
"I'm not above applauding a scoundrel when it is merited."
'A' scoundrel or 'the' scoundrel is generic and nonspecific.
Happy to clarify.
@very-rusty saidYes it does.
Just because goad suggests someone is a scoundrel doesn't make it so Suze Q!

@very-rusty saidSo where is he referring to a poster as 'it'?

You're not getting out of this. You made the accusation, you back it up.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo because you would approve with a thumbs up even a scoundrels post give "IT" a thumbs up. Should have been 'them' in my opinion. You see we all have an opinion.
Yes.
All that being said, Dive is a scoundrel.
Who decides if the poster is a scoundrel YOU?

@very-rusty saidYou don't get to have an opinion on grammar.

@very-rusty saidOn most weekends we can be spotted on a tandem cycling around Harrogate.
Perhaps you are a bit bias when it comes to goad. 🙂 Do you have a crush on him?

Go back and re-read the post he made originally Suzie Q.

While recognizing the poster is a scoundrel I am still able to appreciate a well-crafted post and give it a thumbs up.
Is this the sentence? Yes or no?
In this sentence, 'it' refers to 'a well-crafted post'. Most people give a 'thumbs up' to a post, not a person.
As I said, Rusty, learn to read.
As Ghost said, grammar is not negotiable.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidSaw you both in Bettys having afternoon tea.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOh yes, I do even if I might be wrong....LOL... in this case I think I am right on the money though.

Did I hit a touchy topic there?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI been thinking about that goad, and you probably did it thinking I might get the blame. Are you trying to start something between Dive and I because it isn't going to happen. You steer things in a different direction when they don't go your way, kind of TRUMP like in my opinion! 😛 🙂
Be honest, did you thumb down Dive because he didn't mention you?
