you have totally missed the point I was making.
YOU named three other people who have used more disparaging terms than you when speaking of the former PM as a way of excusing your use of a (less) disparaging term. By making that point you are conceding that you were using a disparaging term.
Thats why I asked you to think of the three worst bullies (as you call them) here on these boards, and proceeded to ask if was okay for me to be a ‘not as bad’ bully as those three you would think of.
Spoilerin some ways I am feeling left out
No, what I was trying to say and obviously haven't said it well enough was that what I said pales in comparison to what three major prominent politicians have said about Howard. Crean was leader of labor and if I'm not wrong said it like he did. Anyway, the conversation didn't evolve to where I wanted it to. But the term I used to describe him here pales in comparison to what I really think of him.
Anyway , we're going around in circles

Look, you have said some things that I don't agree with, you're cantankerous on occasion as well and a couple of things you have said, well ... ... if we were in the same room (The way I felt at the time lol) , fists could have been flying. But I do not lump you in with that crew of bullies. So I know the difference.
okay, I’m going to call you out on part of your post I have quoted.
I admit that I may be cantankerous at times and have no issue with that description.
However, I don’t take eBaying or these boards that seriously that I would entertain having a fist fight with any poster that posts here that doesn’t agree with my posts, or for any other reason. I’m just not that sort of person i.e. one who might resort to violence or even think of it due to differences of opinion.
That said, it would follow that you would be the one resorting to use of fists. Some would call that bullying!
I'm surprised you scooped this up like you did. I always thought you were definitely flying above those bullies here.
I don't take eBaying or these boards seriously enough to entertain having a fist fight either. Not seriously. I said that to give emphasis.
Spoiler
Oh, maybe when you basically called me a W-a-n-k, but then again I would have been more likely to have told you something worse
The last person I whacked was the guy that abused me, then hit me in the head for no reason. He has a reputation of bening something of a narcisist. I have it back to him in the same measure. He was a quite big guy too and he got scared so I held back on the second whack left it at that. That's control sir!

I have been called some offensive names on these boards, but can’t recall ever replying in kind. I admit to calling Ricky a ‘peanut’ once, but he had included my username in an item description of his, and he was acting like a peanut. I have reported some offensive posts and not others. My reason for not reporting all offensive posts is that if they are left there other members can make their own judgement of the poster.
(A recent post of mine on the UGG thread in Community Spirit is testament to my attitude to being called a derogatory name).
Some years back, following some terse posts back and forth with another poster, I took about a 6 to 8 week break from posting on these boards. I still read threads, just didn’t post. Gave me time to rethink my participation on these boards.
Maybe you need a break!
Well, perhaps I should feel honoured that I have been called something by you. OK, well you did it in a rhyming thinly veiled fashion.SpoilerAnd it came about, yes from my making fun of Howard
Still .....
