Subject: RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Can you place the occasion, Jim? In my first year on the forum, 2009-10, I succumbed to the prevailing customs, & used such terms. If I ever called you a cunt, it must have been way back then; because I have, I asseverate, not used such language here since. Like you, not for any moral motive, but because, like you, I feel that overuse of such terms robs them of any effect, and drags down the whole atmosphere of the forum. It is all too redolent of my acutely boring National Service all those years ago. But, unless you can find a specific context any time within, say, the past 3-4 years, then I feel you may be confusing me with someone else. I just have not used such terminology on this forum within that time-frame, I am confident.

If you do find I have lapsed to that extent, then I shall of course immediately apologise.
