stockjockey - I am quite happy to disagree with you or anybody else. Since you joined on July 16th you have made 19 posts, most of them reasonable, particularly on the subject of bog paper.
However, you did argue with me that it was not reasonable for somebody to describe a visit to Delfino Blu as they experienced it, which somewhat undermines your new attitude that the rules of press freedom should apply to the forum. Let's have a bit of consistency, please.
I've lived a fair bit of my life in the public gaze, as a matter of fact. When you're a writer and broadcaster it comes with the job. The Daily Telegraph (spit!) once described me as an apologist for terrorism, a statement which they had to withdraw!
The thing is - before pointing fingers it's wise to do a bit of research. In this case, you might have checked with Tony before taking some pointless high moral ground which turns out to be as firm as the sand on the beach. I don't see much evidence of News Of The World-type gossip about the locals sprayed around the forum. Maybe you could point to some evidence? As far as I can see the usual comments about the locals are that x or y has gone from a to b, or somebody has died. This is hardly going to have a bunch of lawyers descending on the moderators, is it?
As somebody who apparently lives and works in the village, it might be a good idea to remember that this forum does a huge amount of promotion for SS, providing loads of free PR, constantly updated news, and creates a general atmosphere of love for SS and its people, including a celebration of a forthcoming birth.
