Oh dear. If you're worried what internet loons might say about you then I'm not really sure an internet forum is the right place for you.

Do you feel less of a man now an internet loon has called you scum and you haven't been able to hit him?

No, and I do hope you realise I only offered to hit him consensually and under controlled and refereed conditions. I have no intention of assaulting anyone ever.

I just think loon or not he should be made aware how unacceptable his drivel is.

Well, it's the first job in 6 months that's "what I do" within 200 miles that I've spotted. And even though the job criteria is tough and specialist and specific, I do meet all the criteria (and then some) and they've still got a couple of hundred replies already. I might get an interview, I'll c0ck that up though..... but I have to be in it to win it as they say, so I'm in it.

How specialist and specific can it be if they've already had hundreds of replies.
How do you know how many replies they've had?

I'm in a recruitment phase at the moment and have had to personally contact people I know because were not seeing the level and quantity of candidates required.

Nope, sorry, but you still come across as a loon.

You do realise this is a chat forum where people say stuff to each other? One might debate whether calling a bunch of people "scum" really adds anything of value, but the key concept is debate or chat or type etc not fight (under controlled conditions or otherwise)

If you want to arrange to meet people to fight (presumably ideally with different viewpoints to yourself it would seem) why don't you join a forum for martial arts or whatever it was you said you could do?

I do I meet up regularly for cross-style sparring. Often with people who share similar viewpoints to mine too. Though anyone calling me scum has crossed a line I wont ignore.

Anyway I won't type something which I would not say to someone’s face.

He was out of order and anyone who lets stuff like that slide should remember if you act like a doormat, don't be surprised to find someone wiping their feet on you.

How very open-minded of you.

Oh dear, did you not hear the "sticks and stones" rhyme when younger?
Act like a doormat?
Because I realised that offering a loon off the internet out for a fight was a complete waste of time and would make me look silly?
Oh dear.

If words don't matter why are you bothering to reply?

I'm trying to convince you that nothing a loon off the internet can say on here can make you appear less of a man.
Only you can do that by your reaction.... oh that it were all a joke now eh douglas?

It's not that serious.

Look if it upset you to think of me getting all irate and hot and bothered by a troll, please accept my apologies.
I forgot all about it after I logged of and I only remembered the thread when I logged back on again and saw it in front of my face. You can think I am a daft loon if you like - it doesn't matter we don't know each other.
I admit I like being a drama queen though, possibly not my best quality.
