Interesting premise. Can one go too far in the name of fairness?

Not my problem.  I do what I am told to do.  Which is more or less nothing at all.

As my mother used to say to troublemakers....you’d cause trouble in an empty house.

Well done you for following your Mother's advice.  My Grandmother use to say, Mrs. Do As You Would Be Done By."

Snap.  So did mine and I have nor regrets about living my life by doing my best to cause no harm to anyone. 

Another one was that I was always admonished that if I had nothing good to say about someone to say nothing at all.

I wonder how many sins of omission trying to stick to that one earned me.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

Fortunately my mother never had to say that to any of her children.

None at all, I shouldn't think.  But then who knows?  You can't defend all.  But perhaps one should try.  Which is probably why I am doing this.  It just happens to be my priority at the moment.

And I will lose nothing in the process.

Some of our Mothers and Grandmothers were a bit more kind, which might explain for why we are too.  Perhaps kindness is Genetic.

My sons are kind.

Yes no point.
None of us were any trouble at all at home or in school.
Very well brought up children.

Why did your mother use that expression?
Were you a little trouble maker?

Does this video prove that the parents were prepared to lie to the public about what happened that night?

If not, why not?

You tell us.  Your opinion is likely more interesting.

The words I am hearing are not my opinion.

So, you have no opinion.

I have an opinion on what those words prove, that's why I asked the question?

And I am not obliged to answer absolute rubbish.

What do you find 'mad' about my question that you are not obliged to answer?

That you thought you had some right to expect an answer to absolute rubbish.

Presumably you will have some sort of explanation for this 'absolute rubbish'?

It isn't possible to answer absolute rubbish.
