This is a follow-up to Ian's post on this thread above, which doesn't have a follow-up box. My initial query about compassion was posted in a gloomy mood one evening. Lest there be any doubt about it, in my view Tarboard, as a discussion forum, has reached the heights in the last few weeks, in that it has permitted a serious discussion to take place on a less savoury aspect of AR's text, and this has taken place in a civil tone throughout. Any forum worth its salt has to have an occasional in-depth and sober exchange of views on a controversial and possibly unwelcome topic. Looking at it in perspective, I think Tarboard has really shown its strengths in the last few weeks, and Ian ought to be proud of it.
