Oh please, do you really have to continue this nonsense?

I am not getting anything about anything, I am merely expressing my view, as I do every day, and as you do every day. You know where insults go, let's stop it right there, shall we.
// I suggest that he pays a visit to any football stadium when teams are playing, he'll then hear much worse. //
I have no need - I live within earshot of a Premier League ground, and on occasions I visit with my wife, who is a season ticket holder.
People who visit football grounds do so on the basis that they will hear occasional robust opinions of players, referees, etc., either verbally or in song.
Similarly - professional footballers will be well used to the epithets directed en masse towards themselves, and colleagues, and will accept it as part and parcel of their chosen profession.
But a footballer who accepts insults from a crowd who help to may his wages, should not have to suffer random insults from a puffed-up blowhard professional agitator who is rude for a living - and neither should innocent citizens of a city have their income measured against that of a drug dealer.
