Isn't it entirely up to an individual whether and to whom, they reply
and as long as it is not abusive, or threatening, there is nothing to
stop them saying what they wish, as far as I am aware.

The 'double-standards' are you picking Lawrence up for starting
threads about you then you doing something equally daft as in
trotting yound after him calling him an 'idiot' at every opportunity.

PS If you find the term; "Idiot", abusive, threatening, or even
bullying, I would imagine almost all the UK population has been
guilty at some time. Now threatening physical violence and using foul
language in the newsgroup is a different matter, as I'm sure you
would agree.

I don't find the term particulary abusive, I never said that.
I just find it tedious to see you use it over and over again.

It's pointless, it adds nothing to the discussion so why persist
with it?
