OK.

That paragraph made it clear that you weren't pleading *total* innocence. But you followed it with another paragraph in which you did plead innocence to certain types of heavy-handed put-downs ("But I think I have managed to avoid the complete put-down"). I merely pointed out that you ought to be careful how far you take that plea given what's available in a 2 minute search of Google.

Sure (is your Google access limited somehow? I just typed in "don't be bloody stupid" and voila...). And it was definitely 2001:

You're absolutely correct - you followed the one-liner with substance, legitmately trying to help. And that's great, I applaud the effort (seriously). As I said, you've done far more good than harm here. If you prefer add some "spice" to your helpful posts, so be it, that's your right.
