I believe in being slow sometimes, especially when it comes to taking offence.

I bet there'll be creeps who'll find a way of screwing things up, one way or another, it's what they like doing. As Durbin said about whinging - "show me a group of human beings anywhere, in any setting, that never engages in this".

The trouble is, while for most of us it's something we do now and then, letting off steam for some people it's about stirring people up and irritating them, as a way of exerting some kind of power. Spotting the difference is I suppose what moderating is about.

The crucial thing with any kind of watering hole is whether the other people using it are the people you want to drink with. That's assuming it's drinkable to start with. I'm hopeful.
