I have no issue at all with bad language and robust exchanges. You see that all the time in real life and it very rarely ends in violence. Go in any pub in Scotland where there is an 'old firm' game on the TV. Go to any pub vault where politics is being discussed. The language and manners are not for the faint hearted!

It is the need to win at all costs that gets me. The cheating, the mis-interpretation of other peoples words, the verbal gymnastics and resorting to semantics when the intention is perfectly clear and the outright lies.

Give me good honest abuse over dishonest machinations any day.
