Douglas Denny: An expletive used when the victim of the 'proverbial hammer' or a heated encounter, is quite different from gratuitous filth deliberately circulated on a website. Your encounter with G L-W was not something to which I was privy. It was, I understand, later placed in the public domain. As you have, at least for some years, proclaimerd your detestation of G.L-W, it was unwise to print anything which could be used by him, or anyone else for that matter, which could come back to haunt you. Did not the Immortal Bard tell us that, 'Good name in man and woman is the treasure of their soul' ? It was your lack of judgement, more than your language, which was your offence on that occasion. We should never yield to provocation, it can cause others to think that they are more important than they are. Excited by their newly perceived
importance, they threaten the natural order: It is that which must be avoided.
I certainly never communicated your error to anyone, other than making a small reference on this forum. As far as I know, none in Chichester read this web, Health Review and the Epilogue is more their type of thing. Don't worry about it Douglas, just let everything evolve.
