Passing wind indeed then, because so far as I could see there was at no stage any intimidation or attempt to prevent the song being posted.

Actually I like a good conflict this time. Not this time though. An enjoyable conflict is when it's a kind of game, a fierce debate; or when you're up against a demon that needs to be destroyed.

This wasn't either of those. It was a muddle. Noone who like the song seemed to be interested in posting the lyrics, people who were pretty sure they didn't like the ideas underlying the song getting accused of censorship. And at last the vicious spiral gets broken by Áine, who reasonably anticipate that the words will be offensive to her especially, pledging to post them.

Which is actually a great exampe of non-violence in action. We get something good out if it after all. (And I don't think I mean the song in question when I say that.)
