You nicked all your best football opinions from henri_matisse anyway .

Indeed, he was almost like a wild beast earlier in the thread.

And let's be fair, undeniably blue.

Very good art jokes... 👍

But that other poster is allowed to be a condescending prick towards me?

And then do the same thing again.

Look, I am brutally honest & I say what I think.

Could I be more polite at times?

Probably.

I am not adverse to listening to people who don't agree with me & accepting points they make,.

There are plenty of examples of that on this site.

But if people talk to me like I am shit on their shoe, how am I meant to respond, courteously?...

Yes.

Gotcha.

Does that mean that I can be a condescending prick towards other posters too?

This isn't a game and there's no such thing as "Gotcha". You can obey the site rules or you can go.

"Gotcha" = "I understand"

In the context of "I understand" that he is allowed to be a condescending prick towards me.

Its in the Cambridge English dictionary...

And Im not playing a game.

I am merely trying to understand the rules, so that I can obey them.

Because you have said its ok for someone to be a condescending prick to me, but I didn't get an answer if I can be a condescending prick to others.

Just get over yourself, he everything that you've said since Monty replied to you has just proven he was right and you do really need to take a step back and chill out. At this point people are giving you advice so you have an option to come back and don't have it taken out of your hands.

I guess he chose go.

You guys do whatever you have to do...

[Bad English]

Mate, you could just realise that Monty apologised, you did too and it is all over now. No need for the Court of the Hague to intervene. Or you could go with the internet rage and end up banned. It's more a case of you having to do what you have to do. UTV!

Come on, mate. Apologise and chill out a bit. There's no need to sacrifice your membership here! x

[Ger Regan]

If you repeatedly call another poster a prick, despite warnings not to, you'll get banned, it's really that simple.

After calming down a bit I suppose hoping for a statement performance against Liverpool was over optimistic. The Newcastle result still bothers me though especially when they have lost their three games since.

Thats not the issue, as the admin dude has already answered that the original poster IS allowed to be a "condescending prick" towards me.

And I have already kissed & made up with the chap who this shit initially kicked off with.

But if the word "prick" is what makes you feel justified in banning me, then like I said, you do whatever it is you have to do...

[Risso]

Honestly Pablo, give it a rest mate. You're a good poster, leave it there eh?

[PaulWinch again]

Indeed - just step back and think on it a bit.
