What's wrong with that?

Regardless of my own personal views on the guys blog post and the replies given here, it does seem very unfair that if someone had called a fellow forum member a 'prat', 'twat' or 'toffee nosed ponce' then appropriate action would have been taken.
This has made it look like direct abuse is forbidden, but indirect abuse is fine.

I wouldn't exactly call "toffee nosed ponce" abusive... Ridiculous thing to say.

It's true though, he's made himself look a prat right form the start of the blog, for instance he's brandid NX as National Distress just because he didn't like the type of coach, then slammed them because HE didn't look at the destination of the bus he boarded...

Well no, not really. It's various definitions are all not very nice things to say. Toffee nosed is one thing, ponce is another!

I can think of a far worse thing to say right now...

Liverpool Street

ponce

BRITISH - Informal

noun
1.
derogatory
an effeminate man.

2.
a man who lives off a prostitute's earnings.


verb
1.
live off a prostitute's earnings.
"he was arrested for poncing on the girl"


That's the definition of a ponce. Personally, I can't see how people on here can be offended by it? Unless your living off a hookers' money...

However, I will not remove any comments as of yet, but just be mindful some people are more "sensitive" then others.

Understood LS :)

For the record I was using in the context of definition number 2 on here http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ponce , nothing to do with camp men, pimps or prostitutes! Toffee Nosed Ponce = A wannabe posh twit who thinks he is better.

Is that the end of it now?  ::) ;D
