*awaits backlash* :scared:
It's nice to have a good stand-up row now and then - I'm sure he didn't lose any sleep over any responses, including my own - and I sure as hell know I didn't. I had heard talk of PB previously and, prior to his reappearance did read some of his old posts. For someone that courts controversy I was expecting more to be honest - bit of sparring, to-and-fro, not (as Cas said) the same old lines trotted out like he had macro set-up in his browser. Think Arkon, who shares very similar views to PB, Plankton and co (though about a different part of Oz), does a far better job on that front and I'm pretty certain he doesn't take any of the bollocks on this forum seriously either. That said, I can see how someone new to the site would read it that way. As others have pointed out on many occasions - nobody's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read and nobody's forcing you to respond either. They're just other people's views - the fact that they hold them doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. There's no right or wrong - just you and yours.

Guess I will have to make up my own mind.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this?

In my original post I said this was the first exciting thread I'd come across...the post you've quoted was in response to Gcas saying 'there's no need for nastiness'...I personally don't agree with name calling, it shows lack of imagination and intelligence and under the circumstances I think PB took it very well
