Good point, well made. Thats me out of here.

I think its identical. He meant the very same thing, and I don't understand why anyone pretends otherwise, except perhaps out of loyalty to Harty. If that's the case they'd be much better taking the 'he did wrong, he is sorry, lets move on' line, than trying to brush it off, pretending he meant...

You're missing the point entirely. Those people who felt aggrieved / precious [depending on your p.o.v] are challenging his use of the term 'licking windows'. Who he was referring to is entirely irrelevent. I didn't realise he was employed by the BBC, 'the employer' that was referred to.

IF Harty loses his part time job, and I for one hope he doesn't, then it will be nothing whatsoever to do with what anybody has written on here. If the station have suspended him and launched an investigation, then it will be in response to complaints made TO THEM. I'm ready to stand corrected...

I find that rather strange. I've met a few undertakers, and found that they are more likely than anyone else on EARTH to make jokes about death.

Indeed.

I'm not disputing that at all. There is a difference between the two media though, isn't there?

Harty knows full well that the Alan Ball thing was someones weak joke. They named themselves after Adrie for god's sake. Trying to make out its any more than that is fairly feeble tbh.

If anyone ever took '1067Gull' as anything other than a parody of 1066Gull, and his posts as anything other than a joke, then they are frankly a bit SIMPLE. This whole tedious witch-hunt is as distasteful as the comments that sparked it, though. Its an internal issue now, between Ian and his...

'word'

The thing is What he said, was just A Throwaway remark.

Fixed your post :thumbsup:

I was pretty young at the time, so others will explain it better, but remember that at the time of Archerlotti there was no widespread internet use, no NSC, etc to inform people what was going on, or to agitate for direct action. Gull's Eye fulfilled that function. More than that actually -...

Harty shouldn't have said it. He's said sorry. As I voted for Dean Wilkins in that thread, I've a right to feel offended as anyone, but frankly its no big deal [to me]. If his bosses see it differently, then that's his issue to deal with, but I don't think there's any need for a witch-hunt...
