"Backwoodsman, you'll have to dictate what the remark is that you think or others should make that would satisfy you.

Then shove it.

SRS"

Sorry SRS, I don't do Gibberish, only English. Could you translate the first sentence into something comprehensible please?

I've no wish to dictate anything to anyone, simply to be allowed to express my opinion without being hounded out by individuals who specialise in making mischief, and are now apparently aided and abetted by Moderators whose role should surely be to control, not encourage, the mischief-makers?

And I'd prefer it if people didn't use the old rapist's excuse of "She asked for it" in reference to Sachs's grand-daughter, it never has been an acceptable excuse for the rapist and, likewise, it doesn't excuse Brand's behaviour towards the girl in the incident and it certainly doesn't excuse his behaviour towards an old man who happened to be the girl's grandfather.

I do understand "Then shove it". That little gem leaves me disappointed, I'd have expected a member of the forum's group of Moderators to have more class, but hey-ho, there ya go, I guess your irritable, unprofessional manner and your refusal to give a proper answer to my original question re: how you would feel if you were in Sachs's shoes, are all the answer I need. But any reasonable reader of your response would have to conclude that "Then shove it" is a pretty poor and graceless substitute for "Yep, you got me!".

'Bye y'all. Be happy!
