"" ... and for the record to date on this thread I have not made any personal attack on Guest Shimrod - A fact that he acknowledges."

Hhhhmmm - stretching a point a bit there, Tezza, old mate. Your scorn felt like a personal attack - which is why I abandoned my usual decorum and opted for the savage groin kick ..." - Guest Shimrod (05 Aug 08 - 12:21 PM)

Really?? Tell me you did post the following on 01 Aug 08 - 10:33 AM didn't you, or was it someone else using your Guest Name?

"Yes, my initial post was intemperate, McGrath - thanks for pointing that out. Although I strongly believe that it is entirely appropriate to display such intemperance when discussing 'modern' business practices. I do not regret posting that message and I stand by every word.

Nevertheless, the subsequent post from Teribus was (predictably) scornful and I reacted against that scorn by flinging personal abuse."

Not much of a stretch at all I would say Guest Shimrod "I reacted against that scorn", why no mention of personal attack in that post where you are clearly addressing MGOH's point.

Of course, I am looking for a bit of honesty and a bit of integrity, looking in the wrong place though eh Guest Shimrod - "Solidarity Brothers" the truth can look after itself. What was it you so disliked about "modern management methods and practices" again Shimrod? Certainly rubbed off on you.
