Message | It wasn't my intent to insult you. Never did I resort to name calling. I would simply prefer that you check your writing more thoroughly for mistakes so there are no misunderstandings. |

Message | Maybe you should look up the word insult, it doesnt say name-calling you know... Your are basically acting as an arrogant prick, demanding of everyone to look up every single word to spell it correctly, as you in your own mind never seems to make mistakes... Thats simply not the case, the rest of us are simply not as vain or self-centred to point out every minor detail or meaningless inaccuracy. And using that as a reason to vote against? Thats just weird... And btw, "name calling" is spelled with a hyphen, maybe you should check your writing more thoroughly for mistakes next time. |

Message | It is not spelling I am concerned with. Everyone makes a typo now and then, but some of the mistakes I'm seeing are hardly meaningless. They obscure the message you are trying to convey. I don't think my desire for clear communication makes me an arrogant prick. I apologize if you think I meant to insult you, but I really think you are being overly sensitive. I didn't mean to offend you. |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
