&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-169&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Azrael616&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: But does that give you the right to be so vitriolic here?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah it does, if you cant take it dont dish it, does the author of this &#039;entry&#039; have any right to be vitriolic to the people in her article?  And I quote:

‘19:19 – Oh. My. God. A ‘woman’ [I use the term loosely] whose blubbery belly hangs below her fucking pelvis. I’m feeling rather nauseous now. Thank god I didn’t choose the pork.’

AND THEN the author has the cheek to say this &quot;Anyway there’s being a bastard and then there’s being a bastard for the sake of it, which isn’t actually necessary.&quot; look lady, you write an article that makes you out to be a complete and utter smarmy bitch sitting in an all you can eat chinese restaurant giving your own personal critique on people eating there with some quite unpolite comments such as:

‘19:24 – A double-whammy of misshapenness! A gentleman with a bottom lip fatter than Jamie Oliver’s AND an impressive underbite”

‘19:12 – A young girl that looks rather unfortunately for her, like Martin Clunes. I believe this is something known as foetal alcohol syndrome.’

And then you have the FUCKING CHEEK to say I have NO GOD GIVEN RIGHT to be a bastard myself?

Jog on.

(oh I apologise for the comment about food poisoning it wasnt nice of me to say that)</description>

		<description>Well not really. Didn&#039;t press my buttons but it certainly pissed off whoever Azrael is... Anyway there&#039;s being a bastard and then there&#039;s being a bastard for the sake of it, which isn&#039;t actually necessary.</description>

		<description>So Unkle, what&#039;s your beef? 

Having lived in Plymouth for 15 years, and spending about 10 of them trying to escape from that cesspit, I can assure you that Moonpocket&#039;s observational satire is spot on here. The same probably applies everywhere, certainly in any large town or city, and what Moonpocket is trying to say here is that these are the sort of stereotypes that can be found gathering around the tables of any &#039;eat-until-you&#039;re-stuffed-immobile&#039; restaurants - I have witnessed very similar around here, too. Stereotypes like these have always been mocked and that won&#039;t change anytime soon.

But does that give you the right to be so vitriolic here? I don&#039;t think so. Simple constructive criticism would have sufficed rather than trying to rip Moonpocket a new one. I enjoyed the article, it made me laugh, simply because I recognised similar people from my expeditions to such establishments here. All you did was to make yourself out to be a humorless, spiteful person and I am sure that was not your intent. If you didn&#039;t like the article, you could have ignored it and gone on to the next one... that&#039;s what I do...

And btw, I, too, would be considered a &#039;stereotype&#039;. I just happen to be a bald-headed, very heavily-tattooed guy who wears black all the time. I am sure there are many who would consider me a figure of fun, but quite honestly, such things don&#039;t bother me in the least....</description>

		<description>Darling, I&#039;m Plymouth born and bred. If anyone is best-placed to make insincere mockery of these people then I think I&#039;m pretty well qualified. I have no idea what&#039;s rattled your cage.</description>

		<description>Shit blog entry, trying to be clever and smug but failing miserably.  Hiding your lack of writing skills and originality with insults to people minding their own business is pretty poor.  If you were stupid enough to go to Plymouth thinking it was a place of high society full of intellectuals and wonderfully creative people the last place you would encounter them is at an all you can eat Chinese buffet which would appeal to people a bit more working class and less educated than yourself.

Sorry about your food poisoning, Karma&#039;s a bitch isnt it? :)</description>

&quot; It was much like a Serengeti watering-hole but with more blubber and less intelligence&quot;
