Ton- you have given good advice to numerous people in the past, made interesting points in discussions and offered help and assistance I’m sure. However I’ve pigeonholed you as the ‘belligerent’ type based upon more than one reference to violence, having done time? etc and a sort of quiet pride in these things. I’m not sure if we’ve ever met, but in my mind’s eye I picture you as a short, stocky, tattooed bloke, shaven haired who won’t take no sh!t from no-one, no sir. A sort of mountain biking Hell’s Angel.
However, this thread is modifying my view, you have a sensitive side too. Respect for that. Just lay off the allusions to violence. It is not big, it is not clever. In general it is a frowned upon method of conflict resolution between individuals.
As for DD, he is responsible for his persona on here just as much as you are for yours. You are feeling a bit fragile about what you feel he is doing. I have no opinion of him beyond him seemingly liking to troll a bit. He is quite possibly a really nice bloke, to date everyone I have met via STW has been. I tend to ignore trolls. I say my bit and then go. Life is too short.
