    Pretty much everything you've posted if I'm honest.

    Well, that's your prerogative. Is it because you're a hand-wringing lefty with an innate suspicion of anyone with vaguely right-wing views? Is that your beef with me?

    Oh dear. Emotions run high again. Over nothing in particular.

    I'm still trying to understand why owning a shotgun and ferrets, and wearing a flak jacket, makes him a lowlife:confused:

    He enjoys blood sports. I'm pro-animal welfare. Of course I'm going to regard him as a lowlife. I'm sure his mother loves him. Feel desperately sorry for any woman unlucky enough to be in a relationship with him though.

    It's probably a cheap Russian over-and-under instead of a side-by-side Purdey.

    No.

    It's just that you admit to being a misanthrope and a vegetablist with a dislike for people who hunt, your lack of willingness to accept responsibility for the actions of your pet, your subsequent threats to "get even" and your apparent need for affirmation suggest that your account of the incident might not be entirely objective.

    Speaking as a dog owner myself, on occasion I've had the misfortune to stumble across people with an irrational dislike of dogs and I've always found that calling my dogs back to me and giving the person a waved apology is the easiest way to defuse the situation.
    I can't say that I've ever found hurling insults at the other person to be a sensible course of action.

    What a lot of twaddle you come out with.
    I detest all blood sports but no way do I regard others who enjoy blood sports as lowlife, that is silly.

    It wouldn't surprise me, based on his apparent inability to manage his anger. I struggle with this too, but I don't start arguments with strangers (but will defend myself when attacked) and I don't have gun.

    Don't be daft.

    It's only the bunny-huggers who care about animals.

    Everybody with a flat cap and a shotgun actually just wants to machine-gun everything that has a face.

    All we need is a quick mention of paedo's, Muslims, daily mail, the EDL and some rude references to bottoms and we'll probably have a full house on the nutter bingo

    So from one mouthful to which you gave a mouthful back you not only assume he is always bad tempered and is potentially dangerous you also assume he will be a wife beater, hopefully you have never served on a jury.

    Maybe the man was a Muslim who reads the Daily Mail, he has a neighbour who is in the EDL and that's why he gets so angry and when the lady walked up on him he had just been having a sneaky poo and that's why he lost his temper.

    Blimey! I hope you're never on a jury!

    Your dog should have been on a lead. If it had been, none of this would have happened.

    What on earth does your imagined perception of his relationship with his mother or his wife/girlfriend have to do with anything at all?

    What a strange thing to come out with,
