Most of us have used some intemperate langauage at times, but TheBirchgrovePub's rermark seemed completely unnecessary.
I agree that the language was completely unecessary and weakened the point he was trying to make. Though perhaps because Bob was called a snide twat who should STFU by one of the main protagonists in this post only a few days ago he may have thought this level of discourse is the acceptable norm on this board these days!
