I would much prefer it if he was a Trapshut monk, rather than a Trappist monk. :)

Nice to know you still follow my every move with such keen interest. If what I say is such nonsense, why do you lap up every word of it?

The ignore button is your friend - if I offend that much, use it. Bottom line is that you're everything you accuse me of ... and much much more. You chuck about exceedingly personal insults with no regard for anyone's feelings based on the snippets of information you pick up on these forums.

And all because I disagree with about the relative merits of the UK and Australia ... what a big man you are ...

:rolleyes:

You have too high an opinion of yourself, as you were being discussed read your signature as last time I read it you were using it to send nasty messages :rolleyes:

Other than you, I'm not aware of having a go at anybody.. and you brought this on yourself by having a go at me, the first day I posted, for having the temerity not to think that Oz is great as its cracked up to be.

As for handing out personal insults... check your own posts. Count the times you call people morons, arsehole, bell-end and a whole host of other things. Its obviously a journalistic 'talent' you have for not seeing the vitriol in your own postings.

As for ignoring you.. not a chance.

Isn't it strange that one post 'up there' can wind up the Godsquad so much, :

the other day (dare i say it?) i went on the PIP website and there was a godsquad whos OP was if you are a whinger f off to Costa del sol. Since he'd only been there a few weeks i pointed out he should not judge others having a hard time too harshly as it may come back to haunt him. Among other things GSquad told me i was a fridgid f**k, ugly,get my tits out(now THAT is a joke!) slut. I was really upset by it and the thread was eventually closed but not because of his inappropriateness, but mine :rolleyes:
and then they wonder why i commented about the type of wa***kers some people let in :rolleyes: honest to god, it was so unprovoked

I saw that one too, I actually know the bloke and he is so not like that in real life so don't know why he posted what he did. Strange.

How awful for you. It really upsets me too when people start hurling personal insults and being nasty just because you dare to have a different opinion.People who resort to this kind of behaviour are obviously unable to communicate through normal means of discussion and so erupt into foul mouthed tantrums.

Do these people behave like this in normal life - I doubt it. So why do it on forums? Are they frustrated, angry, confused because they can't change people's minds? Because we don't have the same love of a place as they do. We actually dare not to enjoy sharing our dinner with a zillion flies or our idea of fun is a bit more than sitting on a beach all day, fishing, or listening to lectures about how great Australia and it's people are.

It amazes me how angry people get too, when anyone even posts something bad about Australia in a jokey way - if the person had done exactly the same thing in the UK, about the UK - everyone would have had hysterics - it's part of being British. Or did these people leave their British sense of humour behind in the UK?

It's interesting to discuss different points of view but you don't have to be rude and insulting to get your point across.
