Neil I do owe you an apology because whilst you may not have experienced my posting as a form of bullying, sp1814 was perceptive and recognized my motivation. Fortunately I have not caused you any harm but that is due to your resilience or my lack of ability rather than my intent. I was as seen by sp1814, attempting to ridicule you.
Whilst I would probably never agree with you about anything, this does not give me the right to attempt to belittle your postings and use of the English language. Undoubtedly we will cross swords again but it should be to exchange views and to attempt to educate and persuade, not to use postings as a form of verbal aggression. After all we hippy left wing scum are so often condemning others acts as abuse we should not try and occupy the moral high ground whilst being as guilty as those whom we point the finger against.
sp1814 you were right, I stand rebuked and will try not to slip into intellectual snobbery again - it irritates the hell out of me when I am subject to it so why should I do it to others
