Thats trouble with posting .....people can't see your expression hence the use of the icons.....

its easy to say after the fact ...oh I was only joking !

oh it was a humourous aside ......

but unless you apply the icon in the first place ...... its no wonder people get the wrong end of the stick.

As to people just arriving on the forum ....you should treat them in the same way, as you would expect to be treated in return.  As to threats to sue, in this case, IMO, when you imply someone is a fraud what do you expect ?   That goes for if its there first post or there 10000.

I'm not siding with anyone its just common sense. Also  remember what goes around comes around!

You may or may not know that abusive language is strictly frowned upon on this forum ....IMO your "Arrogant A******" falls squarely into this box......I would suggest that if you are insofficiently eloquent  as to be unable to express yourself without resort to such inflamatory language....go post eleswhere.

This of course is IMO.
