In case anyone wondered, Muskets first post on the thread that Keith is referring to, where Brian May linked a speech Tony Blair had made about radicalisation was -

I thought you were into home made guitars, star gazing and saving badgers?

Not all badgers, just the radicalised bastard ones eh?

Again, in case anyone is not in the know, these are things that Brian May, ex Queen lead guitarist, is into.

Our Brian May on Mudcat replied

Ho ho ho, you are a wag . . .

Which is, I guess, because Brian on here gets Queen jokes all the time. Now, I could be wrong, but I would guess that Brian did not see that as personal abuse. Nor do I. Others may see it differently. Make up your own mind.
