    Which seems a little disingenuous as the poster he's quoting apologised.

    Of course, if you take it as tongue in cheek, it is quite funny.

    Yes well of course you'll defend him as you tend to be all about the personal abuse yourself!

    I wish posters on this forum could argue without resorting to personal insults. Still thats life!

    I'm not 100% certain you understand what the word "derogatory" means :)

    I don't believe saying the issue has nothing to do with someone makes it a derogatory comment.

    I read your comment as derogatory as it seems you were belittling the OP's concerns.

    Perhaps you weren't.

    Clever use or irony above - very good.

    Maybe you should have referred to the comment as "belittling" then....

    I could have done. But derogatory works just as well in the circumstance as I understood your post.

    Well perhaps you should report the comment to the forum admin people. There is no place for derogatory comments on this site so if they agree with you the post will be deleted asap.

    Of course they won't as I am sure they understand what a derogatory comment is :-)

    You can contact the council or fire brigade. They'll send someone round.

    It's best to contact your local fire services fire safety department. They are obliged to take some sort of action within two hours.

    However if you don't work there I would say its nothing really to do with you.

    I can't believe that attitude.

    If a member of staff, or customer died, would you still think ' oh well, it was nothing to do with me'??

    Yes

    However read the thread this has already been debated extensively. The consenus is that I am a terrible person. Unpleasant Sociopath has been mentioned.
