More double standards?

So she's called Diane Abbott. Just in case you didn't know, boobs. Some people like to use their real names. I'm one, and so is Diane. I know you're not one of them. Or two of them. Still at it, are you, by the way?


Whenever you find yourself losing an argument you start calling me 'Nige' in a patronising tone, although you are aware that that is not my name.

Also you have been happy to support Jim Carroll's use of denigratory names for politicians.

. . . Calling politicians names and lampooning them is all par for the course. 'Twas ever thus. In fact, it's a healthy sign that we live in a democracy and not a dictatorship, in which "disrespecting" leaders could cost you your head. It is not the same on this forum as we are addressing each other, not third parties who aren't listening. There has been a very persistent trend for two members here to call Jim "Jom" or "Carroll" and me "Shaw." Yes plenty of us are guilty of indulging in similar practices at times, it can't be gainsaid. However, the Shaw, Jom And Carroll are hostile attempts at talking down by two people who are singularly unqualified to talk down to anyone.


Yes, definitely double standards.
