I cannot tell whether any allegation made on here is substantiated or not. Nor can anyone except the person against whom the allegation is made and, if it is true, the person making it. We only have one persons word against anothers. We do not have all the facts, which is why I suggest leaving it to people who know what they are talking about. I will not take sides in those circumstances.

I can, and often do, let my feelings known in a civil manner. Conversely, there are times when I feel, rightly or wrongly, that the uncivil route is the correct one. That is my prerogative and while we may ask people to behave in a civil manner, as we are doing on this thread, we cannot always enforce it. Show disapproval as much as you like but, like this debate, it is pretty pointless.

Far better to discuss things that really matter like the weather and beer.
