Yep, I get what you're saying totally.
And other peeps input.
We agree to disagree. Let's not beat ourselves up anymore...It's tiresome.
We are both better than that.
So, seeing as it's a draw and I clearly won.
Let's have a truce and I forgive you.
Give us a kiss, then. :loveyou:

Stop trying to twist the narrative. You're phrasing is trying to imply that he is some sort of stalker and you know that's bollocks.
And even the Daily Mail is capable of reporting the truth.

Come back with something more constructive than that.
I am not ‘twisting the narrative’ but am pointing out that IN MY OPINION :p there is almost certainly a wider perspective here.

Neither you, I or anyone else on this forum knows the full picture. In my opinion ‘something doesn’t feel right’ in the Daily Mail article and when I get that feeling I trust my instincts. There is also the fact that only one side of the story has been presented.

You have introduced the word ‘stalker’, not me; either way the gent was bang out of order writing to the home address of the lady. For what it’s worth , I have already stated the IN MY VIEW this was probably the result of naivety rather than malice. But I don’t know that.

Ironically the address of Mr Kedge is freely available; I genuinely hope he is not now on the wrong end of what his apparent naivety has started.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing a letter to someone unless it is threatening, if he’d written to the times, chances are they would print an abridged version if indeed they printed it at all.

One of the points I was trying to make (poorly I guess) was that when you write to a newspaper/public body/Internet you are also inviting response.

So before exercising your right to say you must accept that a right to respond exists.

I get the feeling that today's tender souls are big on having their say but don't accept the response.

If I wanted to respond to something published in a newspaper then unless the paper publishes my response then direct to the writer is the only option.

What you fail to realise is that Ogr1 and I have made up, therefore your opinion is irrelevant.

And you're not invited to the group hug, either. :ciappa:

If I was invited to your group hug I’d have to decline, I can’t tell you the reason except to say that it’s something to do with my ankle.

You're not invited. That ankle could be contagious and we can't take the risk.

You are ignoring the issue of him tracking her down.

As ever it is not black and white, not helped by my if nobody else's total distrust of The Daily Mail
The Daily Mail and the Sunday Mail are a cunch of bunts, and I write from first hand experience. They were championing the case of the prisoners in a high profile case that I've been involved in since 2010. Time and time again those motherf*ckers misquoted me in their publications.

The silence from the Mail was absolutely deafening last month when the convicted were denied appeal after their 'new evidence' was drop-kicked into the stratosphere because it strengthened the case of the prosecution.

As I wrote above, that stupid woman is almost certainly taking some flak because she's closed her Twitter account. In all likelihood, he's probably getting his fair share of (misdirected) abuse, too.

I would also love to know what she did to provoke him into tracking her down and writing to her at her home address.
