Which is all well and good, but in one of the threads deleted you and Antonye went out of your way to wind up V man!!

As I said above, I admit that I baited him in the past but it was always in response to his own posts, rather than setting out from the off to do it.

This is the problem with a lot of the loud-mouthed posters - they can dish it out all day but once someone starts giving it back they just can't take it.

I know it's petty and childish (I got told off too you know!) but if someone wants to have a go at winding me up then I felt I was quite within my rights to defend both myself and my family, which is where the posts were aimed as you may well remember.

Could it have been handled better? Yes.
Should it have happened in the first place? No.

I may be getting soft in my old age, but I expect a certain level of respect for others from anyone, no matter what their status or thoughts. You would expect that someone coming onto a public forum would at least have the decency to treat others with respect no matter who they are or what they do for a job - otherwise they make themselves look stupid without any help from others!
