No, it's called reverse do unto others.  i.e. It's perfectly fine to
treat people in the same way that they treat you.  And I reserve the
right to be just as hypocritical as the next person, for I am not going
to have rules applied to me that aren't applied to everyone else.

Shall I spell it out in another way.  If you (someone else, or you)
think it's fine for him to behave in the way that he does, it's fine for
everyone else to, too.

With irony:  I'm sure you'd enjoy the list, like that.

The only profanity you quoted was calling someone a sod, and I don't
really think that actually counts as a profanity, just an insult.  An
"ass" is a stubborn animal.  If I mean arse, I would have said that.

I have been on the receiving end of his venom, and as I've said, my
sympathy has dried up.
