jimlad, I have made similar comments many times on Mudcat: I reckon that if I had the nerve to make indiscreet inquiries about your private or financial affairs and had the nerve to broadcast it all over Mudcat or among strangers, I would be in immediate peril of having the shape of my nose altered! So why should Kate Middleton (whoever she is) be afforded less dignity, privacy and respect than other human beings. Her private life is none of my damned business and I have no intention of reading any garbage, which intends to treat it as such. How can anyone have the arrogance to demand less human rights for someone on the spurious grounds that the person is in the public eye?
