If we were to ban people for 'being rude', even as many times as ten times in three hours as Britannist puts it, then this would be a very small forum.
YCHTT calls me a liar every time he posts due to his signature - I have stated before that I am not a government agent, yet it states that I am one of the COINTELPRO.
The same thing he says of Besoeker and Clippo. And indeed The Bear, you and MikeUK, three whom I would not expect to be targets.
Britannist, too, is guilty of being rude quite often.
I have feelings of poetic justice in quoting one of Britannist's posts from the debate in which he claimed that George was rude.

Not just a europhile troll - but someone who can't keep his word.
But then, that is the trouble with europhiles - they do not tell the truth. And a large number of them are particularly thick as well as ignorant.

Though I can accept that he may have been annoyed by George, is it any reason to sink to George's level if we accept that George was insulting Britannist?
Unless you would consider all that a sign of good friendship and a compliment?
You too have been guilty of rudeness in your presumption in the past that I have not read the Bible, despite it being forced upon us at school.
Clippo has been rude quite often in his dismissing as 'crackpots' the sceptics on the forum, and other such things.
And, of course, I have been incredibly rude to nigh-on everyone, for which I make apologies but do not expect to be absolved.
Despite our feeble protests, we are all rude at times. If George is to be banned for calling someone a liar then I would argue that many others should be banned for doing essentially the same thing, the only difference being how it is wrapped up in different words, how it is not said so bluntly. The implication is still there, and it is the essence which is rude.
And, if I have offended anyone with this post by calling them rude: tough luck.
