Yeah, I can be trying at times.
But I don't get personal - I don't call anyone a loser, insist they have poor judgment, or intimate that a poster is a "c***".
And I don't send PMs like our friend John does. They are passive aggressive, unnecessary, and intimadatory.
I really don't think that there is any parallel.
My recent idiocy was the "superior supporter" argument and I apologised for that.
You should PM your friend, you obviously have a rapport, and tell him to show some class.
