Apologise as soon as asked, Joe — insofar as responsible: simply pointing out meanwhile, however, that the provocations of 'turd', 'fuckwit retard', 'mutual jerkings-off in sandpit,' 'peehole full of sand', all preceded any actual explicit linguistic impropriety on my part — their trigger having avowedly been no more than my slightly sarcastic adducement of Bach as folk musician, so far as I could [or still can] see.

Apologies to S O'P likewise as well as to 'the community', who will be the judges of what is appropriate & called for. I hate losing my temper & always feel regretful afterwards. I hope a reciprocal gesture may proceed from him.
