I suppose there is a difference between awful disgraceful comment wrapped in cotton wool and a bit of good old Anglo Saxon with which to challenge it.

It does tend to be those who should take a deep introspective who squawk at reactions to their less savoury comments.

If people want to debate reasonably, perhaps they should bear in mind the rubicon and the crossing points first. I for one will chat merrily with anyone this side of it but happily throw rocks at those on the other bank. I know Musket takes that even further and I support him in it. Musket on the other hand is a bit like me really. Serious thread? Stay serious. Absurd thread? Cover me in axle grease, I'm diving into the pond.
