Mini hijack sorry .... It occurs to me yet again that alexandral is the last person in the world who should have apologised given that she is one of the the sweetest and loveliest people in the world.
You've come out and confessed to being mocky now and then I have to confess that sometimes I'm also guilty of eye-rolling and a giggle .... It occurs to me though, that the bulk of the people who are out there doing the actual mocking and attacking are probably completely oblivious of the fact that there's anything vaguely 'not so right' about their conduct.
I suppose they feel that they're performing a necessary social service or something but I suspect it never crosses their mind that there's a difference between social commentary / satire and ..... whatever it is that they're doing. Perhaps it's a fine line. Then again I might be a little old-fashioned because it seems as though the Internet makes a lot of things all right these days that might not be quite so acceptable if they took place in an offline world.
Sorry didn't mean to ramble but your post made me think. Have a wonderful holiday in Italy.
