I like the other three, yet I still said they were wrong for losing the others the food. So if that is indeed why OP took offence, then there was no need for it. But he didnt mention it, so I doubt thats it.

Nowt to do with you anyways.

Hmmm nowt to do with me? i made a huge mistake in thinking we were on a public forum then, sorry for the inconvenience your highness

Lighten up a bit, he's only having a laugh.

And it would be funny if he did it at a different time. Or even if he did it while keeping his voice low. But he decided to do it while others were asleep which is really disrespectful and rude. Or do you laugh every time someone yells and wakes you in the middle of the night?

English and Scottish law is sufficiently similar on the particular point in question for the description to hold, I think, although despite my knowledge of these matters from my past career I would be happy to be corrected on the point by an expert.

The analogue is as follows: in a defamation case, a person can only have been defamed if the words involved tended to lower the claimant in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally; so if someone has already been convicted or recognised to have behaved in a way equal to or worse than that contained within the words which the claim relates to then an action for defamation is unlikely to succeed. So, to illustrate, if a journalist were to write a story accusing Ronnie Biggs of robbing a jewellery store in 1962 it is unlikely that Mr Biggs would be able to succeed in an action for defamation, even if the story was completely untrue, since he is in fact a convicted robber and former fugitive from justice. The accusation would not further lower him in the estimation of right-thinking people.

I am sure the analogue is quite clear. I hope that helps.

On a further note, the capitalisation was merely a part of the over the top reaction I identified. I also mentioned your "emotive language".

On a final note, I would not say your posts in this thread have been in a particularly "good humour". You seem rather tetchy, actually.

I see no supportive analogy in your explanation. Charlie has been playful with the intention of amusing, sometimes without adequate forethought. In my humble right thinking opinion no right thinking person would accuse him of malice in these actions. The pouring of oil on someone's bed is a malicious act, even if done in pique.

If charlie were found to have done that, it would surprise me and lower him in the estimation of this right thinking member of society. I note that Vicky withdrew the claim and I respect her for responding appropriately in making that correction.

My original post appears to have been taken in good part by Vicky with my self parodying use of vaulting vocabulary, which was intended to make a nodding reference to Bea's 'blinding HMs wih science' language. Other people put in their two penn'orth and pereptuated this highly amusing and in place enlightening exchange. I defend robustly, don't apologise for that and will continue to challenge profane posts.

BB is a pantomime. "oh yes he did, oh no he didn't, oh yes he did....." Charlie did not pour oil on anyone's bed. Oh no he didn't.... NOW is the time to laugh, if you will excuse the capitals.

Charlie is a scamp, not a villain.

Is there any need?

I just dont see why you felt the need to get involved...The_long_run is more than capable of speaking for themselves, plus I feel you have the reason he kicked off totally wrong, so its just adding fuel to the fire.

It is the fact that i said charlie threw oil on a bed, when it was infact water. I apologised anyway, once I realised what I had said.

Oh yes such a lovable scamp...throwing water bombs on the freaks, humiliating people with his pranks, damaging peoples property with no thought, snidely reporting back to Lisa HQ what other people have been saying...

I don't see why its bothering you, it's not like your in the house. Charlie is just trying to bring a bit of fun to the house. It's better than watching Freddie throw another panic attack or watching Marcus sit on that chair and pick his nose until five in the morning. No wonder the show can get quite boring when even the fans dont want any fun. It wasn't even that late.

No its just people trying to sound intelligent by putting other people down is very frustrating and wreaks of Sir Halfwit.

I disagree with your first paragraph but have no quarrel with anything else in your post.

For the record, while I have my own opinions about Charlie and his behaviour nothing I have written in this thread was in any way a judgement on Charlie's behaviour, nor did I indicate that he acted with "malice". Such matters are unrelated to the specific technical points I was making.

Having invested far too much energy in this thread already, I am content to leave it at that.

I shouldn't think it is rude because it isn't happening in my house? That makes no sense. If something is rude, it is rude. I wouldn't condone a person kicking a dog even if it wasn't my dog, either.
