And here is a bit of intentionally patronising, but obviously much-needed, advice for you, Mr Shaw. The use of such phraseology as "gobshite" and "arsehole" [with or without a factual addition like 'rightwing' which I see no objection to tho clearly intended as some sort of insult unworthy of an intellect generally of the quality of yours] is entirely counterproductive, and detracts from whatever merit the argument in which such appear might possess [nil, pretty well, in this instance, but as a general principle, you understand]: along with such idiotically hyperbolical threats as 'going for the jugular' [arrgghhh!; I would be quaking in my boots, if I wore boots!]. But you refrain because of my advanced age, do you: otherwise my jugular would be severed by your dentures, would it? Now who's being "patronising", you stupid young fool? Behave yourself.

In earnest, now: you would really do much better to forswear such locutions for the future, my good man.
