Takes one to know one.

Gah. Where I come from, "Bad Tempered Critical And Tetchy" doesn't mean "Swearing". Sarcasm, belittling, and generally showing off one's own superiority and the others' inferiority, yes, but to descend into swearing is merely puerile. Even merely *calling* somebody an idiot is idiotic if you cannot *prove* it - repeating a statement, no matter how loudly, does not make it true, even with the added so-called emphasis of obscenities which in fact serve only to illustrate one's own lack of intellect. I belatedly *farkle* in the general direction of all those overaged children who have apparently never grown up.

[JLE] I pity you were unable to stand the heat and ran away after your first and only move. One could have appreciated the vaguely semi-sentient competition you might have provided. Shooting fish in barrels, while not a taxing diversion, provides marginally more entertainment than shooting pond slime.

JLE] Jesus Fucking Christ! Where I come from, people in bad & tetchy moods are oft known to swear. It is also rather disingenous to say that swearing belies lack of intellect. It is hard for me to continue with a reply - not because of any lack or otherwise of intellect, but merely because I really could not give a monkey's arse. Swearing can be used by people not because they lack the words but because they lack the inclination to actually enter into a discussion. Life is sometimes just too short. But please farkle away, dear boy, farkle away.

[JLE] I presume you'd also claim that starting a rant with "Gah" is a sign of intelligence, whereas it merely illustrates your lack of vocabulary. Furthermore, your childish use of asterisks to emphasise words when bold or italic text would be more appropriate provides clear evidence your views are not worthy of further consideration.
