In fact he was a gentleman. Plus he almost always keeps his comments open. That's sheer class in my book.
Sometimes though, the low-lifes who also infest the net get under the guard and that's the case with his Louise Bagshaw post. One can only go off and lick one's wounds, then come back fighting again.
But it's not only Iain. Another who has had the rough end of the stick, whilst being a bit willing himself, is the inimitable Mutleythedogsdayout, [pity there's no big pic of the dog], who had someone impersonate a blogfriend of his and abuse him in a not entirely articulate way.
So far, I've only been lucky enough to score the one piece of abuse and it went straight into my Testimonials in the sidebar. I'm hopeful there'll be some more from certain very disgruntled quarters after Wednesday evening.
In fact I'm predicting something's going to be posted about me [I think they have something up their sleeve] which will shame me in your eyes forever. You see, behind the scenes I'm playing hardball right now and it's only fair they get their shot later. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. If they don't do it, I'll tell you about it anyway.
You have to take the rough with the smooth.
