Funny thing, when old Sunny Jim is on one of his finger-pointing, holier-than-thou rants, its absolutely fine, but the moment someone pokes a bit of fun at him to try to bring him to his senses and stop him pontificating and ranting, it's 'abuse'.
Nothing I said was as abusive as "Suppose I should show a degree of sympathy - It can't have been east having to make your way through life with your head rammed firmly up your arse.", was it Jim?
