"just try to put your point of view without resort to personal attack"

"Have another pint, Nige. Best leave it 'til morning, eh? ?????? "

" We can be a bit too quick to react to these scumbags I suppose"

you are leading by example I presume. You continue to treat Mudcat as your personal fiefdom. You try to dictate one standard of behaviour while your own falls woefully short of what a reasonable person would expect. You are a sad obsessive and need to find another pastime to see out your dotage. You have outstayed your welcome here.
