@ADixonMusic @20th_Centurygal Bottom left looks more like Dr Hook

@SchizoMellie By that logic, someone who eats a tofu burger is still a carnivore

@monsieurBenet @BeatlesEarth But The Beatles have always been against cheapening their music by allowing the songs to be turned into jingles.

@jk_rowling I think the first two lines of that headline would have sufficed.

@realninawysocka @JeremyClarkson Normal etiquette, if you happen to possess basic decency, when you wrongly attribute to someone words they never said, is to apologise unreservedly for doing so.

@FatCannibal @Tamschen @ClarkeMicah The idea that "everyone who studies addiction" agrees it's an involuntary brain disease is overstated. No reliable biomarker exists. Hitchens' critique isn't foolish; it's evidence-based dissent against therapeutic dogma that often excuses agency. Ad hominem doesn't refute it.

@Tamschen @ClarkeMicah I don't know, I thought it got rather steamy

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@FatCannibal @Tamschen @ClarkeMicah I don't think there is a good argument FOR Peter Hitchens' supposed smugness during that exchange. I don't think it was smug or disrespectful. I think it was the unvarnished truth. Attacking the way it was delivered is nothing more than ad hominem.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@FatCannibal @Tamschen @ClarkeMicah If I say yes, what point do you think you have made? Two things can be true, but on this occasion, I don't think they are both examples of smug disrespect.

@RichCounty27 @prodnose @ITV I don't mind him, and I like Dixon, but why they got rid of Clive Tyldesley I'll never know.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@FatCannibal @Tamschen @ClarkeMicah I think being honest to someone and assuming they are grown up to be able to handle it without compromise, is an example of respect, not a lack of it.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@Tamschen @ClarkeMicah I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone not to have time for what they consider to be nonsense. I don't think it was arrogance and condensation. I think it was the fact that Matthew Perry was used to people praising him for everything he did.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@Tamschen @susannarose99 @ClarkeMicah You may not like the way the message was delivered because it was not administered with a spoonful of sugar, but if Matthew Perry had successfully adopted Peter Hitchens' approach to the matter, he would still be alive.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@Tamschen @ClarkeMicah Peter Hitchens expressed his opinions without sugar-coating them. I think Matthew Perry could have done with more of that in his life.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@FatCannibal @Tamschen @ClarkeMicah It was clear from his exchange with Peter Hitchens that he had never been challenged that way before. He was used to gutless sycophants indulging and exploiting his weaknesses, and look where that got him. He was a likeable, charismatic man who wasted himself.

@DreyfusJames @jk_rowling Constable Goody going to prison would be an interesting direction to go.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@janinethechef1 @ClarkeMicah It was obvious from his reaction that he'd never before encountered someone who doesn't buy into the nonsense he was spouting, or at least pretend to out of politeness. He might still be alive had it happened more often.

[Lee Rundle @ElvisLeeBoy]

@Tamschen @ClarkeMicah The people who sold him the substances that ended his life, were laughing at him, with one saying 'I wonder how much this moron will pay'. Peter Hitchens was unrelentingly honest to his face. I'll leave you to decide which one you believe is an example of smug disrespect.
