Touchy arent they.. I gave em my 2c
I generally dont care what anyone calls me, least of all in some bikeforum...but..

FWIW, I got verballed by Aussies twice...in the same week for some reason.

Once in our work carpark by the facilities manager of the office next door who thought as he shouted at me for parking in the wrong spot, he could mimic my accent and take the pi$$ while abusing me.
FWIW, i did the right thing and drove off, only 5 mins later i felt like going back and punching his fat red head in! So I reported it and he got a written warning. HR figured that he might think it's ok winding me up but you couldnt mimic an asian/indian accent while abusing someone and expect to get away with it..right?

Then again by an older road rage dude, He figured I was in his lane (I hadnt actually moved) and wasnt interested in his crap, even when when he came chapping on my window abusing me. When he heard the accent and shouted "Go home you import"..well thats when I went banzai!

Yeah I dont have a gazillion years of persectuion, in fact the grand total is about 15 seconds but I tell ya when someone pushes those buttons in a confrontational situation...not good!
