OMG, I've never ever been intentionally rude to anyone on Mudcat before, since my maxim is "never say anything you wouldn't say to anyone face-to-face" .....but since you ask......there are are a few over-opinionated testosterone-fuelled ratbags miles up their ain erses who have nothing better to do than sit around here hurling insults at each other while trying to score points off each other, spending all their lives staring at a computer screen and frenetically typing their next epistle to the Thessalonians or whoever might be daft enough to read it...and taking all the bait that's thrown back at them, the slimy eels that they are. They are the biggest turn-off ever. On Facebook I would unfriend them: here they get detraced!
Whew, did I really say that?
Back to good behaviour henceforward!
