And there are a lot of views here that would count as right wing in Britain. It's a matter of perspective.

Yes, my style is that I'm totally hilarious (thanks for noticing). But I'm not talking about viewpoints, or style. I'm talking about manners.

That comment was in reply to her comments to me calling me a moron on like my third post. Stay out of arguments that don't concern you and you will have little to worry about.

So you think that calling people morons because you don't agree with something someone says on some of their first posts is in keeping with good manners?

No, if somebody acts like an asshole, or is hostile, then that's how they will be seen. And it detracts from their viewpoint, rather than promoting it.

This fits under Flints manners heading. If you have read glatts stuff here you'd know that he always plays nice. You can pop off at me, because I occasionally get my hands dirty, but this type of thing is uncalled for.

So as SG pointed out you were viewed in the same way when you started here, now all of a sudden you are setting some type of morality bar. I am respectful to those who do the same. Make up crap about me, who I am, what I think from some minor postings on a public forum is out of line.

Like I said, if it is not directed at you stay out of it. If you make a nasty comment expect one back. Pretty simple. If I made a nasty comment to Flint, Glatt, or you before some other remark by one of you I appologize. If not.... well, TS.

I'll pop off at ya...you utopian commie do-gooder! Go fuck yourself! And bring me a beer when you're done...I'm too lazy to get up and get one. But make sure you wash your hands first.

I wonder if Mercenary is related to Radar.

Flint.....much as I'd like to agree with ya on this one (I doubt anybody here is in doubt as to my views on conservatives *grins*), I think you are being a little unfair.

How is pointing out comments you have made equal to making a nasty comment?

I have noticed that when logic and reason don't support your arguments you switch tactics and take a more aggressive approach to keep your side of the debate going. You're basically compensating for a weak position. Then if logic and reason are on your side again you switch back to them. The violins are a perfect example. Happy Monkey was slaughtering you and you posted like half a dozen violin smileys to make up for your weak point.

Since the topic of this thread is about you being an asshole, I can understand a certain amount of defensiveness on your part, and I'm not going to hold your "butt out" comments against you. But this is a public forum. Anybody can respond to anything you say here if they want to. If you want a private conversation with someone, use the private messaging feature of the site.
