Consider it done.

Abuse pushes buttons for many of us, and without wanting to speak for him or expecting private declarations in this public space, I think Anorak may have been right that it is a very personal topic for Steven.

Steven, I’m not trying to minimise the lack of support for men who are abused. Just questioning the wisdom of having a go at people here.

settle, steven. out of order.

You mean like this?

And a surprisingly good description of events in of all places the Herald’s gossip column:

Women’s Refuge response to yesterday’s media event at the beginning of this story:

Ian, fair argument about our rush to judgment but the nature of this situation means there is unlikely to ever be evidence of the type you are seeking.
My own personal feelings about Veitch are admittedly biased by distaste for the wider culture whose blokish persona he cultivates so profitably, and which condones violence, sexism, racism and all manner of similar ills.
Thank goodness for light relief.

Ian, a single blow is never going to produce the injuries described and not denied. The intersection of extreme personal violence and ingrained sports-jock culture is bound to produce strong feelings in any forum. The discussion here is very reasonable compared with most others.
Redemption is possible – but it will take more than a stage-managed apology a couple of years after the fact, and it will involve stuff that as Craig noted earlier is out of the public eye.
