Dear Oldefogey,

That was not a hissy-fit. What I would like to do is drag him out of his hole and thrash him. I’m 65 and not in the best of shape but I’ll give him the first punch free. Somehow I suspect he’d use that opportunity to go elsewhere.

He is a pretentious bigot who hurls vile insults at people from behind the curtain of anonymity. I’ve mixed it up with the best of them – men. I know all the common ones in six languages. Men – not juvenile coffee house philosophers who wax poetic about Socrates and compose haiku whilst rolling a joint.

What I have learned, from painful experience, is that you can call someone every name in the book except one – liar. That one’s going to get you some loose teeth every time.

He is not a troll. He is something much worse – a deranged college dropout.

Regards,
Roy
