- Gosh, Alison, no offence here! But you certainly hit a jumpy nerve
somewhere, nestcepas? And for what? for forwarding a suggestion that
people might stop killing people? Scary stuff... I'm a union man by

job description to be concerned with such things (I actually think it
may be in everyone's job description if they check). The post you
forwarded was invaluable, factive evidence of an element of an
appalling situation which is going on close to us, now. I don't see
how it can not, at some stage, impinge on our writing, unless we're
ostriches.
