Morning april

I quite agree because underneath his attitude is a really nice guy and IMO some of his posts are pretty good.

The ability to write the occasional good post doesn't make him a nice person, Susan. However, I live in hope that, lurking somewhere beneath the **** he regularly presents himself as being, there is something which resembles a really nice guy.

Who are you referring to Susan? Are you feeling well? If you are referring to our American friend, then I rather think your judgment is a bit impaired regarding him? In my opinion he is one of the most arrogant, bullish and rude individuals I've ever come across. He needs to be picked up on his constant insulting behaviour in almost every post.

[susan]

Grahame I really take no notice of his rudeness or indeed arrogance it is just his way he dishes it out but he can certainly take it back on the chin.  He can be very funny in a serious sort of way and does make some good points .

I find in funny. But in a weired way. I'd rather call it, "Laughable".

so why does he just not make them without the personal insults. ?

Before he arrived on the whole  most of the time we could have different opinions on here and agree to disagree without too much mud slinging ( just the odd mud pie every now and then)

I think he has lowered the tone of the forum a lot.

[lookout]

Agreed,Jansus. There's absolutely no need for it and it's not clever.

[susan]

Grahame it is strange but when I came to live in these parts many many years ago I was surprised at the language the males used in front of females I had never heard words like it before.  After time I got use to it did not get offended as it is their way in these parts and I accept it without taking offence.  Think scipio is behaving as he would in his own Country and does not realise he is being offensive it is so matter of fact to him. If he called me thick and stupid I would not get offended because I know I am not those things and they are just words to him.

[susan]

jansus  it is a pity you feel he has lowered the tone of the forum we have in my short time on here had worse than scipio  he gets insulted back and never complains it is common place to him.I think he is a "wind up" merchant.

[Jan]

I think he does know he is being offensive , because lots of us have told him .

Susan he does it quite simply to belittle other members of the forum and to insult them in order to try and wear them down. He knows very well that he is being offensive. I notice that you use the word "IF" he called you thick and stupid. Let us hope that you are not tested by him the way that Jan and lookout are then shall we?

Susan, I know for a fact that scipio knows very well how to behave like a civilized and actually quite pleasant human being.
He just chooses not to on the board. He must have his reasons...

[susan]

Alias I cannot give you an answer all I know is I take people as they are with me and he has always been very pleasant and respectful and humorous.

Have you read the posts he hurls at other people than you?

His tactic is a psychological one. It is to mock, belittle and deride the supporters and those he considers to be supporters. This if you had been as long as I have is exactly the same tactics used by the Jock Lambhead and Tiny Tim little dick man on the other board. And were also the very same tactics used by the gangsters who set up the facebook page dedicated to the abuse of JB supporters.
I've come across these obnoxious brain dead characters the whole time I have been on both facebook and this forum. These numbskulls are all the same and they always use these same tactics of belittling, mocking everyone who disagrees with them and a constant drip drip drip of abuse.
But of course if members on here think he is witty and wonderful and wise then be my guest I will let his so be.

[grahameb]

Then it is obvious that you care not for the others who do receive constant abuse. This is another tactic used by these trolls of the internet. To divide friends.
