I may have mentioned that I met Petroc (when he was presenting a Radio 3 programme in Bristol) and I mentioned the propensity of some posters to express their criticisms in a personal fashion, and that this being a public forum this was probably inevitable even though I was myself embarrassed by it. His attitude was to shrug it off with a smile. The controller has also, in the past, agreed that if one runs a public forum (like the BBC's as well as this one) such comments had to be tolerated with equanimity.
And I note that IS's egregious Yo Yo Ma error has been met with silence or indulgence. I'm guessing that, if it had fallen from PT's lips, the reaction would have been different.
