We are being a bit precious aren't we?
It's cause and effect, people.
If you say something stupid, naive, or pointless, you will be called out on it.
It has nothing to do with seniority.
I, apparently, am extremely facetious and patronising.
But I will give it out to BB59, RR, DemonDefined, or 45HG16 when he goes on one of his drunken, racist rants.
Just deal with people having a go at you.
It's life.
