Fair do's if you meant no harm and now none is taken. 
Perhaps it would've been better to neutralise your use of the term by acknowledging that you weren't implying any predeliction on his behalf. You know that chucking in the BB hand grenade gets everyone's backs up (apart from unashamed BBers). Using it in a phrase that appears dismissive didn't help.
These attempts to put all this back on me is getting boring. Read the thread again from the start. I responded to the OP and quoted him directly when he had quoted prices. I quoted the OP when pointing out, to the OP, what the prices are in the NE, I made no claim that there was nowhere else cheaper.
For reasons best known to himself steve2, instead of just replying on the thread in general, quoted me. I didn't start the thread, nor did I address Steve2 in it and I have no interest in what prices are in other areas. However, as there had already been a post stating London wasn't the cheapest I was a bit curious, though I changed my mind when I saw how old his reviews were.
My posting style has never changed, I say it as it is, if people don't like it they are free to ignore it. Steve2 was the one who made the provocative post, not me, I stated fact. His reviews are old and he has one there openly advertising bareback. Don't blame me for that.
I have no interest in what steve2 does or doesn't do, my only response on this thread had been directed solely to the OP, steve2 chose to direct his replies to me and subsequently make feeble attempts to provoke me.
