There are some individuals on this NG (and others) who delight in
slagging off anyone and everyone. Don't take it personally.

I don't usual respond to personal insults.
But it seems to be that its near impossible to have a debate or bring up
subjects or views that people don't agree with else you just get
insulted.
I may have criticised London Underground once or twice but I have never
made a personal attack anyone. Although been the victim once or twice.
Personally if you want to make a point to the newsgroup. Then I wouldn't
worry about being criticised. To quote one of L.U's campaigns
"It takes courage to stand out from the crowd".
******** I know for a newsgroup. But you get the drift.

Here's someone who takes things personally even when the comment isn't
directed at him. Symptomatic of a guilty conscience perhaps?

It wasn't a personal insult, but if the cap fits ...

No, you persist in attacking *all* LU front-line staff, which is
understandably felt to be insulting by individuals who have not deserved the
attack. Did you manage to miss the bit about respect for the individual in
your training for your customer service job?

Then what do you describe the following as?

the station staff). Some of whom when you ask them when the next train
is response is "What's a train?" and then drag their knuckles along the
ground back to their little box so they can read their Ladybird guide
to safety precautions Volume 3.

Looks pretty much like a personal attack on the staff who were there at
the time.
