Subject: RE: BS: Never thought I'd say this, but...
Well, I think it's a perfectly sensible remark, John. If they distress you so much, ignore them, avoid them, don't even listen if you happen into a room where someone's watching. Some people seem to like them, so what are getting so worked up about and so censorious for? I regard your threats of suicide on exposure to them as self-indulgent hyperbolical rhetoric, I fear. There are far too many self-appointed arbiters of other people's tastes around, on this forum & elsewhere.

I am reminded again [I say 'again' because I used this analogy on another thread quite recently, but it seems to fit here so I'll repeat it ~~ if you don't want to know the score look away now!] of the woman who complained to the police that a male neighbour would undress in sight of her window. The policeman who came round to check said he couldn't see anything. "Oh, you have to stand on tiptoe on that chair," she replied.
