Great. Now how about acknowledging that you know what Jim has been doing, instead of insisting that he hasn't told you, or spuriously claiming he's been abusive to you? Because that's the actual point being made to you; not just by myself, either.

I am many miles from Lewes. But the way you have behaved here would not make me eager to attend your club, were I nearby. Maybe you should go off & have a think, sir.
