rob, he's agreeing with you.

Robbery, "celebrities" have symbolic value that is greater than joe public, even if they're hardly role models. No hypocrisy there.
Violence is not a level playing field, and there are valid reasons for women not laying charges - which means that you're not going to get the proof you seem to desire no matter how long you wait. That's not a good enough reason to say that no action can be taken or conclusions reached.
We obviously disagree about the significance of Veitch not suing the newspapers. Do you really think Public Address posters would just accept whatever they read in the papers? You've been here for at least a year - c'mon.

Funny how one person's "obvious" is another person's "huh?", innit.

Robbery, they're very emotionally charged issues. Sometimes it is easier to understand where someone is coming from if they include their own feelings and stories, so I wouldn't put so much value on striving to be "unemotional".
Ian, there are a few particular topics where any reasonable forum just will not accept divergent views beyond a certain point - and severe violence is one of them. Hence people's sensitivity to the use of words like "provocation". Imagine a campaign that goes "It's not ok (except...)". Not likely.
Karen, I don't think this has quite become "male vs female" - unlike some of the other forums about this.

Campbell Live also claimed that TVNZ had known for a while, though I couldn't find a link.

Kyle, they would have sued to get an immediate injunction. Less proof needed up front but you're right it would all come out later, so a risky strategy. Mind you if there's no evidence other than hearsay then the defense of truth is hard to mount. On balance I think Russell is right about this.

Any form of Talisker sounds great to me, Russell. Am looking forward to visiting Whisky Galore sometime when finances allow. Don't think you can still get it but the divine experience of barrel strength 1983 Port Ellen (?Allen) sticks in the memory.
Bravo on the food front too - dem boys is lucky. And tell em yelling at the telly is just a good part of the game.

With some Laphroaig perhaps...

I see someone's pre-match build-up is underway. :)
-
Which is not to say I won't be watching the game tonight...
