[Mrs Steve R]

I told him they were real, he thinks they are not because of Giles and his one-liners, he thinks he's too dry to be real :hehe:


Mary writes for The Spectator magazine, she also wrote a book called 'How to live with your husband' For better, for worse, but never for lunch... :shrug: :hehe:

Do you mind me why you addressed the question directly to me rather than ask the message board generally?

I can't help but notice that inadvertently (and quite by chance and unconsciously) we have two identically badly worded posts on this thread. But I counsel you both that two wrongs don't make a right. Common use of this expression term, in the realm of football message boards, has been criticized by forum guru Gregory S. Kavka. He refers back to philosophical concepts of retribution by Thomas Hobbes. He states that if something supposedly held up as a standard for forum posting is violated enough on a forum, then an individual or group within the forum can break that standard or rule as well since this keeps them from being unfairly disadvantaged. As well, in specific circumstances violations of sentence construction can be defensible if done as direct responses to other violations. For example, Kavka states that it is wrong to deprive someone of their property but it is right to take property back from a criminal who takes another's property in the first place. He also states that one should be careful not to use this ambiguity as an excuse recklessly to violate statements that make sense, such as 'Do you mind me why you addressed the question directly to him rather than ask the message board generally?'
