Yes, John, learn the art of subtlety. Do not say "Martin Gibson is an arsehole!" Say "When Martin Gibson arrives on a thread the distinct odour of arsehole is soon apparent." See? I've not said MG is an arsehole, only that the smell of arsehole seems to go wherever he goes. I'm not even saying that the smell of arsehole emanates from MG. It could have come from somewhere else and just follows him around like Joe Btfsplk's raincloud.
