    Default A Question of Context

    Has anyone actually asked Fragony or are we bleeding on his behalf?

    Context is very important. It's the difference between ironic and slur, the difference between public fornication and home titulation, it's the difference between consent and rape, it's the difference between black humor and vicious sarcasm.

    Louis post had all the hallmarks of a Mel Brooks slapstick... Actually reminded me of the Roman court scene.

    Not the most witty exchange but clearly satirical. Satire is protected in most advanced nations as a means of the press to lampoon political and economically powerful figures.

    I do think if Fragony's feelings are hurt then the policeman er moderator will not abuse his position of power. He will do the right thing.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
