Compared with whom? What? Trump? Russian service staff? Kanye West? George Carlin?

I'd say the rudeness on this forum is close to groundbreaking. On the plus side, there's not much need to step on eggshells - so I can call the lot of you a bunch of brain-dead, testosterone-blinded asswipe apes and not worry about causing offence (rather the contrary).

Honestly, this forum has been a revelation to me. No one has ever spoken to me the way people here do. I come from a culture where money and status are worshiped unlike anything you have ever experienced. So I have always been an entitled brat. When I first came to this forum, I was shocked and offended at how people treated me simply because I was not used to it. But It is humbling and keeps me grounded. And over time it has stopped bothering me. So in a way, I am thankful to this forum for making me experience something I have never experienced in my life and making me learn to take abuse in my stride and give back just as I got it.

Thank you for your heartfelt word, you prat!

That was written in 1992 so all the pushy nonsense must have been going on long before web forums

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. Try to spell "arse" properly - this is a British website!! You moron!

I am perfectly aware of the spelling but I prefer the sound of asswipe to arsewipe. Deal with it, you tragically twisted piece of sputum

Well fuck you and the horse you ride in on.
Ride off into the sunset with Bob Evenson for all I care.

Going for the jugular, I'd say. Just aimed a bit high.
