Luke, we've never met. If you ever saw me giving and taking slaggings within my family and friends you would know how chilled I can be about it.
When you're on the receiving end of such regular (not from dj, which is why I couldn't understand why he saw fit to make it) barbed comments from people you don't even know it becomes irksome.
It's too easy just to say chill. I've spent the last 30-odd years investigating instances of bullying among children. The bullies say it's just a bit of fun. Their pals say it's just a bit of fun. Meantime the poor kid on the receiving end is going through the mangler.
It is not fun, nor do I believe it was meant to be.
