Regardless, he got this new "nag" from Kier:

"You really are quite disgusting."

Another one for the record/database.

I don't insult Roy other than to point out his lies and inconsistencies.

BTW, Kier, this may surprise you, but NOT replying to a slur does not

at such statements is like trying to piss on a forest fire - it just
produces a little bit of hot air which no one notices or cares about.
