Permit me (as if you could do otherwise!) An observation.

But there is a certain power in forums (like we enjoy in this parish) that allows us to say what we want via the internet. And we are not corrected immediately. Indeed we could troll. Not return to the thread. If that was in a pub, the threat of a glass of beer in our faces (let alone a glass) would temper our delivery somewhat.

throws hat in ring and retires swiftly................

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but we do see a lot of that freedom being expressed hereabouts, and not necessarily uncorruptedly either.
