You're not wrong there.

Ok, this is where we disagree. I didn't see the original thread or post to which you refer, but yes, in my opinion, simply calling DB a dipshit or whatever it was is within acceptable parameters. I'm sure he's been called worse and I'm sure playground insults of that type posted on here are just...

It wasn't, it really wasn't. Initially I simply stated I disagreed with you, after that I was only interested in correcting your erroneous assumptions. But yes, if we can try and end this exchange on a note of agreement there is a grey area as to what consults an 'insult', what constitutes a...

Well of course I'm going to bring in the fact that others agree with me, what's wrong with that? Most if not all 'disagreement' threads on here have people backing each other up, that's kinda how these discussions work. However I accept your apology that you could have been more tactful, but...

Well, you have. Amongst the things you've said is that my posts have an 'arrogant veneer', what is that if not an insult? Did you mean it as a compliment? And nothing is superior about my view. I (and others) have disagreed with you and made a case, that's all.

You ARE calling me arrogant because I disagree with you. To precis one part of our discussion, you've commented that my saying that sometimes a point has to be driven home with an insult is 'sheer arrogance' and gives me an 'arrogant veneer'. You also previously said there were contradictions...

Anyway, I'm going for a pint so I shall bid you all good evening. I shall pick up any points upon my return to work tomorrow TTFN

Actually, I've never met him in my life. But that's the thing with messageboards, someone makes a post and others agree. Those that disagree can either argue against - or they can claim that everybody else are just members of a bullying clique.

Two things: Firstly I said I 'usually' don't like to resort to insults when arguing with people. That implies there may be the odd time when an insult is necessary to drive home a point. (Don't tell me you never came across that in the Army!) So no contradiction there. Secondly yes there are...

No, honestly, it's not just us, the vast vast majority prefer it as it is. If you don't like it (and like football, it's all about opinions) then there are other Brighton messageboards where they take a dim view of insults (and at least one was started as a direct result of insults and abuse on...

Actually, no, I can't see the contradiction. Please point it out.

Anyone who agrees with the OP is a complete SLICE.

But sometimes people ARE complete ***** and need to be told. I hope your plea falls on deaf ears, and I say that as someone who usually doesn't like to abuse people who disagree with me. (Usually).
