The thing with Dezzy’s comments is that he himself is quick to take issue because of the person - something that has not gone unnoticed by others in a thread on many occasions. He is quick to dish it out but not so keen to be on the receiving end of it it seems when he perceives that is what is happening to him. It is not nice for anyone on the receiving end, that unpleasant feeling of a ‘pack’ mentality developing - something maybe he should think about before being so quick to give it.
