>>OK, if you ever got an email off Nuke you'll find every signoff he has has
the quote about Wankers from Melv - sent to him originally a few months ago
and used with pride ever since.<<

A quote is a different thing to a direct remark, as well you know.

>>Calling someone a tosser (guilty!) is certainly stupid AND immature - but I
think at times an insult even as crude as the one I made is necessary if
only to get certain idiots either angry or embarassed.<<

I'm sorry, but thats just not true.  If you cant argue your point
without resorting to bad language then you are barely worth talking
to at all.  Also, there's a big difference between 'passion' and 'a bad mouth',
so don't go preaching 'Im passionate about PBM' to me.  I'm as passionate about
PBM as anyone, but I won't lower myself to base bad manners.  Anger yes...
swearing... no.

I've always been of the opinion that if you are going to start swearing and
name calling you should do it in person.  That, at least, gives the target the
opportunity to give you a good punch in the mouth.  Since your
targets were half a world away, you were in a pretty safe position to be as
rude as you were.

Actually, I'm fairly sure you *know* you're wrong.  Be a man about it
and admit it... or just stop posting about it.

And it wasn't really 'Wanker' or 'tosser' I objected to, although both aren't
suitable for E-Mail to my mind, it was your generalised slating of 'Americans'
which really bugged me.
