You insulted him first. The thread history does not lie. You made a snide remark towards him that I've quoted below. Before that, he was talking about football. I have had numerous disputes, laughs and have embroiled myself in battles of oneupmanship with Polo in the past and know he gives as good as he gets, but in this instance you brought it on yourself.
'Are you stalking Tonteg?' <-- thats what you said to him - you very clearly wanted to antagonise him.

No, of course not as two wrongs don't make a right. However, don't cry when you initially poked the bear. Polo went over the top, there's no disputing that, however had maccydee not asked him such a ridiculous question, Polo would most likely not had even said anything to him in the first instance.
This is no different to someone like Costa on the pitch pushing a player, and the player kicking out in response. Both have done wrong and the reaction is over the top, but the fact remains the player wouldn't have kicked out if the other player hadn't pushed him in the first instance.
Want peace and decent discussion? Easy. Don't antagonise people in the first place.

Do you know what, its just so much easier, and less childish to say "sorry mate I don't agree with you" I hardly ever agree with anyything Maccy spouts (sorry mate) but he did nothing wrong and was commendable. Tonteg made dome very good points but instead of intelligent ripostes he got cheap shit back. Theres nothing wrong with intelligent argument you know.

Their discussion was absolutely fine and can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=165809#p1745831
Where's the handbags and cheap shots in that discussion? It appears to be conjured up out of thin air. Since when were you the forum police going around telling people what is and isn't intellectual discussion? The fact remains that maccydee had no reason to get involved in the first place as the discussion had moved on to Lawnmower and co. Even when he did get involved he could have turned it into an intellectual discussion, as you claim it should be. However, he made a ridiculous remark asking if Polo was stalking Tonteg. Both were out of line but lets not pretend maccydee did not opt to antagonise Polo and get a reaction.

As Tonteg intellectually put in the other thread Polo had been chasing Tonteg all over about his posts bringing up posts from way back. Many on here, in those circumstances ask if that poster is stalking the other poster including Annis. I'm not arsed about Polo resorting to name calling as it showed he had lost the debate.
