I notice a warning against calling Matt Black a 'blood-sucking lawyer' in an exchange starting here on a thread in Dead Horses. But as the poster later points out, that is how MB describes himself in his profile.

Is it really a C 3 offence in such a situation? Indeed, for good measure the phrase was put in quotes.

TBH, I'd forgotten I'd put that in my profile, so I think perhaps it's me who owes Imersge Canfield an apology [Hot and Hormonal] . Will pop down to the thread concerned and make it so.

To be honest it doesn't make much difference to me. It's fine for someone to obviously insult themselves. It's not OK for another poster to take something out of its context which is normally (& without the context) an insult and to drop it into a non hell post.

If a poster self deprecatingly calls themselves a fat bastard in their profile, I don't want to see that suddenly being dropped into a post by someone arguing with them.
