From that other forum, it transpires the Duncan is the part-time historian for Southampton Football Club. Strangely enough, it seems that there is no love lost between DH and the Chairman of the Club, Rupert Lowe. The quote below is taken from an open letter written By DH to Southampton FC in 2006:
I think Rupert Lowe to be a first class bully and I also regard him as an autocratic egotist. Furthermore I think his destructive presence is very harmful to the future well being of our club.
There seems to be a common thread here of locking horns with authority. Was DH bullied at school? I think we should be told.
