He shouldn't use the term either.  Any other questions?

Mallory Nigel etc.

Ill tempered and intolerant etc have been the standard by which a few have set long before I replied. Perhaps you didn't see the specific fowl language used by several and many posts with regard to just about anything I write. Insults? You have read nowhere near the remarks I have been trodden with and yet, aside of a few perceived ill tempered remarks, my lack of distinct and direct expletives remains constant. I'll give you that short bus and soap dropper may indicate a lack of sensitivity but you cannot then be serous regarding the mountain of BeDeeEye's constant references to our drinking issues(WE have NONE) gay references and gluttony and intelligence among many others. So to be sure the inferences regarding the mentally ill(against me as well by the way) and suggested homophobia will stop. At least by me. Also you might consider a long weekend of going way back as I have, to see that--- what little I posted w/regard to these issues is minuscule and far from the direct vulgar and rude character sent to me. If you wish to consider that as well and accept my apology for such use--- I would hope others stop it as well. It was silly and a bit fun I must admit, but see where it did get outta hand at times.

So you see dears, the rules remain the same.  If you use those despicable terms like short bus and soap dropper, you are ill tempered, vulgar, rude, and insulting.  When I use them though it is merely one of those "whoops.....silly me. Got caught up in the fun of the moment" moments. Merely silly and miniscule.  Not at all ill tempered, vulgar, rude or insulting. 

BDI, you forgot:   Bush used those terms too (he must have at some time, right?...right?)!  So....we are all the same....doesn't matter......Same-O, Same-O.
