Yes, by St. Jerome, but there is, Horatio, and much offence, too!

Mixed forum, mixed reception (it must follow, as the night the day, & c.).

Whatever the verdict on Scottie's rude wagging of the tongue, it seems to
me (in a deliciously ironic sense, here on this theory-paranoid list) that
appeals to what Scottie meant when he suffered himself to post the
"hate-filled" words can't be much use.

Are they, in fact, hate-filled, the terms? Can they be hate-filled if
they were uttered in the spirit of hardnosed affection and
season-celebrating chumminess? Does it matter?

Will's offended and Tim's concerned. Doubtless, responses will vary, and
most of them won't be honest anyway. I challenge someone to provide some
good objective criteria by which to establish what's really going on here.

A lovely merry Christmas to you all, despite the present unpleasant,

Goodwill and love,

Il n'y a pas de hors texte,

Matt
