Yup, I don't make a habit of directly insulting people. So I'm intrigued as to what I directly said to Lee.
Unless this was me making some off hand wide brushed statement that was somehow taken as a personal dig; I don't know, I'm just speculating.

The problem is it happens on here all the time.
It's tongue in cheek most of the time, but sometimes it is a fine line between joking about and having a bit of a swipe. I think people play the 'oh your getting your knickers in a twist' card in response because they know that what they said may be taken either way. So it is easy to defend your comments.
It can all be taken out of context very easily, and if someone had a bad drive home from work, or the Mrs has been nagging, or maybe *you're* (insert a great big sigh here for TelBoy being a bell end) just being miserable...... people can react very differently.
We all have an opinion, so respect others also.
If you can't play properly with the big boys, then I don't think you should be playing the game.

Don't get me wrong; I can be as caustic as the next person should the mood suit, but generally I aim derogatory comments in a more wide brushed manner; say immigrants, BMW owners (I still own one
), emmigrants (brit expats ) etc. And normally I'll justify it with reasoning/opinion. I don't do one liner insults like "xxxx is a c**t" (except in fight club - normally in reply to mr-impreza ).

do you have anything better to do? You seem to be great at posting a reply to almost every post in which I make a spelling or grammatical error.

I keep being asked if i have "anything better to do". This is a thread i'm following, that's all. It could have been anyone who posted that, i'm not on a witch-hunt, but it's a perfect opportunity to show how EVEN on a thread where it's been discussed to death, it can still be totally disregarded. It just does my head in. It's not difficult to get right!!!

As much of a grammer /spelling **** I can be, can we leave the spelling & grammer corrections out of this thread. Start another thread on the subject, this one is about opinions, not spelling. Cheers.

I think my question of do you have anything better to do was rhetorical to be honest.
As you do seem to post a lot. So maybe my mind is actually wondering, what else do you do? Not an attempt to have a go, but just a general interest.

Opinions are like ar*eholes - everyone's got one. 
I have to say I spend much more of my surfing time on another forum which is much more robust than SN, to say the least. I prefer it to be honest - much more entertaining.
Stupid people/posts are treated with the contempt they deserve. Trolls and irritating people are given the tag "Oxygen Thief" which makes them much easier to ignore.

Is it "don't let the door hit you on the *** on the way out"

I don't have issue with anyone, this thread was started because I felt that if you go against the grain, you ended up with a barrage of abuse. This isn't just a personal experience.

How about a "Victor Meldrew" tag? Because I spend an inordinate amount of time moaning about stuff.

There are a lot of haters out there, look at my posts! I get called a troll for posting what I want to post because others dont like what I'm saying.
I think the fact is that people think you posted this thread as a veiled way of having a pop at those charity scooby tunnellers or something, but either way you need to be like water off a ducks back DJ and not worry about what others post about the things you preach.

Well I have to go and pick the rug rats up, so unless they fall asleep after lunch, and leave me feeling deaf in their presence, I'll be back............ later.
