Eep, let's chill, everyone, please?
I think he was making a joke (referring to Joe's problem of being accused of "hypocrisy"). If so, it was ... reasonably ... droll. I guess. Definitely unnecessary, regardless of the verdict.
If he was not joking, it was of course an unconscionable insult and I shall stand ready to defend Phil B's honour in a duel at dawn. Smelly socks at twenty paces, Phil W! Are you ready?
Cheers,
