># Why are photographs more threatening than language?

This was a response to the statement by Slyman re Kirkup, not a statement
of belief. cris is right, it seems easier to misread emails than other
forms. In this case, the playfulness and irony was missed because the
context was removed. So I need to learn that on email, you either get burnt
or you provide as much context as possible.

>And what about Salmon Rushdie? The print there inflamed emotions, caused

>well, that's all.

Exactly, this is why I placed that "telling" phrase "Or are they?" after
the above statement.

>The European Court

Does anyone have the full details of this recent S&M case - I admit to
having bunged that in on hearsay and vague memory.

sorry? is this personal?

and getting more so.
The cynicism is so becoming.
I did use the word irony in my posting.
I did note the ironic thread continuing in parallel.

# Isn't the purpose of art to become coopted, Established?

Isn't the purpose of irony questionable?
