Ditto.
I for one make no apologies for calling a spade a spade. If someone comes here with the same recycled bollocks and simultaneously shows a lack of respect in doing so, they deserve a few insults IMO.
I see a lot of people calling that an 'ad hom', but like Steel alludes to, that's assuming you're treating every discussion on here like it's a debate.
