Alright Tilly, I've really tried with you, but you're determined to be offended by perceived insults of others while insulting others yourself, and that's unlikely what was intended by your stated upbringing. Bambi writes as he writes, without discrimination, so if you consider your 'abilities' require different treatment, then you are free to specify what. I return to my request that we strive to debate each others' arguments and to share opinions, rather than fight each other as individuals. It's up to you, friend. EDIT P.S. none of this means I'll stop complaining about Bambi's split infinitives, which I note you are more careful to kindly avoid. Double Dutch - I'm not au fait with forum nicknames.

My apologies. The cantankerous old contrarian you have the good fortune now to know as the Thin White Duke was for many years even more absurdly named Bamber Gasgroin (yes I know) so affectionately addressed by his 'friends' as Bambi. You're right that it's irritating when we inadvertently exclude new friends by such pet naming, but I don't know that I can give Bambi up, so to speak.

I remember Bamber Gasgroin from days of old - a very witty username, I thought.

I think I am up to date, thank you. And yes, I would like to think I have moral standards. It would appear to be the people who are still backing Mr B*****, regardless of his long history of violence, are the people who are lacking moral standards. Just to clarify epping, I am still backing BRFC as are many other people. It was made clear, by the club, that I would have to tolerate JB at least to continue to support my club for the foreseeable future until he’s not here. I’m not happy about that and since the weekend less happy but perhaps no less surprised at what’s come to pass. It was always a ticking bomb imo. I am still supporting BRFC and will continue to do so, albeit with that man in charge. That will change in time, he will be gone but BRFC will still be here. You're not saying that because of our respective stances your “moral standards” are higher than those who may still be supporting the club are you? Or are you actually saying that they are higher because of that? UTG! Not at all Wareham. There is a huge difference between supporting BRFC, and supporting the manager. I respect that you will continue to support BRFC, and not necessarily the manager. I can't actively support BRFC while B***** is in charge. It doesn't make me 'better' and it doesn't give me 'higher moral standards'. Hope that clarifies.

EDIT P.S. none of this means I'll stop complaining about Bambi's split infinitives, which I note you are more careful to kindly avoid. The point is, as I think was perfectly clear, the difficulty was being used as a weapon to assist debate. Now that's morally questionable. Is a long way removed from something along the lines of,
'I'm sorry for attributing the quoted comment to the wrong person but concentration is something that I struggle with sometimes for personal reasons that I would rather not go in to on a public forum, so if I occasionally make mistakes like this please try to understand that I do my best and there's no intention to mislead or misrepresent'.
Anything of that type would have got an immediate and unreserved apology from me. But he decided to come out swinging, so got the same back.

He is a she, apparently. (I do hope posting that doesn't cause offence. Difficult to know what one can and can't post atm.)

As I said, I was taught not to be critical of somebody's abilities if I wasn't in possession of the full facts. Hence my response. Maybe I should send you a draft of my posts in future, so that you can re-write them in a manner which will meet with your approval?

oh for goodness sake Bath Gas, give it a rest. You're more tedious than GGMI and that's saying something.

You might like this, though: I believe Gas Guzzler's Bath Gas followed GGMI over from Gaschat, where our Bath Gas was known as Tilly's Thighs, and whose loss Gaschat mourns as she was one of their best posters. Anyway, welcome to the Guzzler, Bath Bomb. May your stay here be tolerable for all concerned.

Everybody has moral standards it's just that they start and finish at different levels. When you understand that it is easier to respect other peoples views regardless if you agree with them or not.
