Now if you’ve known me any length of time you’ll know that I get a little florid in my oratory. El doesn’t provide an e-mail address in his profile or I would have done this privately.

Simply: I overstepped the bounds of decent conversation and became, if not offensive, then at least insulting. I made assumptions that I should not have made and I slipped into the very traps that I have criticised others for slipping into in the past. I don’t know if you’ll accept it or not, El, but you’re a sound bloke and you’ve made me stop for a moment and think about what I’m saying. That has to be worth something, right?
