I've told Damo on here and in person what I think - what I object to is this "think about the children" line- have his kids been on Twitter? I read rape and death threats against women for just holding a feminist opinion and gay and racist slurs are abundant. f---, just look at what mainstream media and politicians seem to think it's ok to say sometimes. Tell Damo what he thinks about it, sure, but not carrying on about his children - it's his responsibility to educate his children about it so they think twice before doing it themselves (which no shortage of teenagers do) and are armed with the skills to respond to it when they inevitably encounter it and other forms of clap trap elsewhere. I mean, is it OK to say this sort of stuff if children aren't listening?????
