    You should plead the 'fair dealing' defence relating to journalistic, literary, dramatic, musical or artistic activities - with an additional ratio decidendi relating to the wonderfully humouristic

        I suspect it's the prevalence of Timorous Tinas & Timothies rather than the foul-mouthed Festes and Fannies

                It's not really about monitoring what people have already posted; it's a polite request that people respect the House Rules which they have agreed to in posting any message. (Reminder: "In posting on this forum you accept the conditions and undertake to respect the House Rules.")

                Which, of course, everyone does 99.99999999999999999683% of the time. For this relief, much thanks ('tis bitter cold...).
                It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                      No, FF has gone over to the 'dark side' and been bribed to say this so that we will all listen avidly to SMP.

                          Sir, I would respectfully submit that the word "Tweet" in itself might be considered an expletive!

                            Yes, she did, something about singing the arse off Bach? Or was that Petroc tweeting?

                              I can't believe SM-P would ever utter such a coarse expression; she seems far too well brought up a young lady!

                                Well, I've said that there are few tweets that I've read that don't lower the tweeter in my general estimation. Most people seem to enjoy playing the part of teenage airheads. Exceptions are few, in my experience.
