Let's get back to talking about that fine pace bowler Steven Harmison.
Oh wait...
Oh wait...
Someone saying 'You are talking bollocks' is completely different to someone saying 'eff off, no one wants you here blah blah'. Its the difference between saying someone is saying stupid things, or saying that someone is stupid.That's extremely hypocritical of you, you've told me off countless hundreds of times as you said I was showing disrespect by doing exactly that.
really, no need to apologise to me about it. One of those things!!!!!Sorry SS. . and it won't happen again. I'm not usually that sort of person (if you knew me0 to go around throwing insults. I apologise to Swervy and Scaly and hope the matter is sorted.
you live and learn!!!I felt I needed to tbh because I could see a few people were (rightly) upset with my personal attack on Scaly. I don't particullary like the guy's posting style but I know now that there was no need to swear or personally insult him.
I disagree, they're both equally condescending IMO. I've made an extremely concerted effort to do that less since you mentioned it on the most recent occasion, having often written such a thing without really thinking, and often aimed at people who I like and respect greatly. It's far too much to expect *certain people* to do likewise, of course, partly because respect is almost a foreign concept to them.Someone saying 'You are talking bollocks' is completely different to someone saying 'eff off, no one wants you here blah blah'. Its the difference between saying someone is saying stupid things, or saying that someone is stupid.
One is a comment about your behaviour (albeit not particularly polite), or what you say, the other is a personal insult.
I find it insulting when you say someone is stupid or a fool for having an opinion different to yours....I dont have a problem with you saying 'what you have just said makes you look foolish'...its subtle, but the the difference in message is huge. Its the main reason I find you very condesending sometimes.
Think FBU's post almost qualifies for a FIAB, TBH.
Agree with the first and last smilies but not the middle, TBH.
So what is FIAB or is it better that I don't know what it means.Think FBU's post almost qualifies for a FIAB, TBH.
Nah.So yeah, Steve Harmison is pretty gun.
