[QUOTE="RugbyChump, post: 146111"] No you directly alluded to me by your "who on their first day belittles other teams?" (not verbatim), as I had registered on that day and had a [i]little[/i] pop against Australia; although it was hardly malign nor vitriolic. Boo hoo not everyone loves the Aussies always, tough shite. Another thing that is laughable is you claim I tried my hand at "sophistry" yet you go ahead and do it yourself, with some banal pseudo-intellectual w*nkery which is a little off ;) Well I applaud any nation that excels in a lot of sports, including Australia. However there are plenty of caveats around warning us of the perils of arrogance, complacency, underestimating and of course [b]hubris[/b] (which I suggest you look up). The very definition of being arrogant is being up one's own proverbial, whether you like to admit it not. Making a half-witted attempt at side stepping that just makes it more evident dear fellow. Now now don't get touchy by labelling me a tard, you don't do yourself any favours by that and you give more credence to a point of view which you visibly feel affronted by. If you think my comments were diatribes then my calling you 'precious' isn't an assumption built on a sandy foundation. For one I'm not bitter not have been abusive about the Australian victory. Remember "deliberately misinterpreting it as such while ignoring one's own presumptuous little.." wotsit. I merely challenged certain views on here; i.e. that Australia took its foot of the gas. I believe Australia deserved their victory given how they played in the first half, and there's nothing I've said here which contradicts by implication/direct reference that sentiment. Fortunately for me and at your expense I found it amusing. Especially since you devoted a paragraph explaining, justifying and ultimately vindicating the arrogance found amongst many Aussies as you said. Yet in the other quote the "STFU" one, you speak of having a "quiet confidence". Good job there son. The second quote was a poor choice by me, that's the only thing I'll concede. But you gave me a much better one instead so I guess it work nevertheless. Wakey wakey I'm Welsh, we're used to defeats and this latest one didn't come as a surprise. I don't particularly care about displaying 'dignity' nor grace. In fact I haven't disputed that Australia shouldn't have won given Wales' performance, however I disagree with certain little pointers made by others, which I have already briefly mentioned. I suggest you grow thicker skin if this is how you react to an innocuous and ultimately trivial post. It's you who needs to front up. [/QUOTE]
