[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 614032, member: 24910"] I don't think I would call it bullying, but I do agree that one member (The Jones Boy) has stepped over the mark. My statements have been pretty direct (suggesting he is making things up), but in this case I think I was being pretty polite ;) If I made some statements suggesting that a Welsh player (let's call him Bradley Davies) committed thuggish acts at [I]every [/I]ruck or scrum (as Alexrugby suggested Hore did) you would be well within your right to suggest I'm simply making things up (unless of course I had some sort of evidence to back this up). Indeed you would probably be well within your rights to be far more blunt than that :) Part of the problem here may in fact be a language issue, as I assume English is not Alexrugby's first language (I apologize if I'm wrong) - I know how difficult is can be to debate in another language! Anyways back on topic (sort-of). Personally I'm not a big fan of Hore off the field either (for the same reason as you), but there are many professional rugby players whose off-field antics/demeanor don't impress me. It is a bit unfortunate that an excellent All Blacks career seems to be have been completely overshadowed by a single act of thuggery (that was blown out of proportion) and an off-field incident.
