Thanks for backing me up, what would I do without you hon

[The Batlord]

I think you should be wondering what you'd do without my fearless journalistic integrity.

Not an excuse to go at RT like that. Also, false equivalency. Or is it goal-post moving? I can't remember, where's our philosophy 101 bro DWV when you need him?

Anyway, thanks for the update, Steph. Case closed, as far as I'm concerned.
Edit: also thanks to right-track for reacting cool and graciously to it all

Sure, I didn't expect there to not be reactions. I think it's slimy that someone (they know who they are) would intentionally reach out to RT and drag him back into this as if there's any good that would come from it, and I don't doubt for a second that this person would reach out to Urban as well for the drama of it. Slimy af.

I wonder about it everyday. The fearlesslness that is; if only you weren't a journalist of the tabloid kind

Doing it behind our backs is definitely slimy. Still, good did come of it: I think RT deserved to know about it and have his say, and to me the follow-up you posted gives a bit more clarification and nuance than the first discussion.

nuance

[Marie Monday]

alas, we often ridicule what is alien to us

[right-track]

Just for clarity...I wasn't alerted to what had been said and its not why I came here.
I returned out of lockdown boredom.
It wasn't until I saw Batlords "...so why didn't you do something" post reply was I aware of what had been alluded to.
An old friend sent me the link to the original comments in another thread during a catch up message, after I'd seen Batlords comment.

Thanks to WWP and Marie Mondays even handedness and level of maturity in the way this has been handled.

It's going ok thanks (mediocre is good, right?)

And you're welcome.

And to think I used to ban people for doing that.
