Well Nigel, you could have done the grown up thing too, and just left him alone - as others with notable debating skills have done.
This by the way, this is my last word on this thread, which like so many others has become a joke.
All the best - enjoy those tomatoes.
I'm sure you'll know that I'm hardly an unthinking cheerleader for Nigel, but this really is unfair and unreasonable. Astral started the whole thing off by referencing an earlier argument from another thread and repeating a contentious point of view unnecessarily (think about this the next time you mention the solstice at Stonehenge, Nige ;p). I certainly haven't seen Nigel provoke him, but if he had, I don't see how that would have been an excuse for telling him to "fuck off".
Against my better judgement I'll respond one last time. I replied to a post to June. I was talking to her. I started nothing off and said nothing contentious. I am entitled to an opinion, or is that not allowed ? As for swearing at NS, I don't care that I finally took umbrage at him. It's as simple as that and I am making no further comments.

It's a public discussion forum, not a private conversation. Comments are read and responded to by all. That's how it works.

Of course you're entitled to an opinion. Nobody has ever disputed that. But you most certainly did reference a contentious argument, and you have to expect people to respond to that.

If you think it's OK to tell someone to "fuck off" when you could just walk away and calm down, then you've done more than anyone else here to undermine the credibility of your position.

Maybe we could draw a line under all of this and put it to bed before we lose a further contributor. Things are said and things are often regretted afterwards so maybe it is time to leave it with no further comments.
