Fuck your “respect”. It might seem less two-faced if you used my proper name, you senile jizz-waste.

“Didn’t discuss it until badgered”, you mean. Couching that as “respect” now is just self-serving bullshit. Or you’ve forgotten what you actually said, which, I mean, I get, we all know you’re getting on…

That’s you telling me, to my face, that what I was saying happened, didn’t happen the way I said it did. That’s calling me a liar.

That much is obvious - if it tried, it’d doubtless die in the vacuum.

I don’t want an apology from you, you dumb old shart. I just want to point out, _to everyone else_, that the Prince of Past Politesse is the kind of hypocrite who would unapologetically call a rape victim a liar to defend a paedophile rapist.
