I have no idea what the comment was about and I did not hear it. But I enjoy witch hunts and am seeking permission to jump on this particular I`m Offended Bandwagon. In addition I'm willing to allow the good citizens of Guernsey access to a list of my friends who also get really offended by comments they did not hear but once seen/heard on the Internet immediately want to form a lynch mob.

That's the 'good Ol' days' where child abuse was rife and no one took any notice/turned a blind eye, wasn't it.....? No ones turning a blind eye these days, hence the many historic abusers who have been prosecuted in more recent times and the public outcry about them, and indeed, anything to do with this very sensitive topic. If you so long for those times long gone, then you must have been there when all this abuse was happening and swept under the carpet..... did you also stand by and do nothing back then, as the majority did? you’re always lamenting the loss of the good Ol’ days, PB.

The main problem with child abuse is that kids are too scared to say anything and when they do, are often ignored, and here you are, defending someone who is quite possibly one of the worst serial abusers of children in living history, and now, quite disgustingly, trying to deflect the backlash of your poorly thought out remarks by pointing out cases over here that have gone unprosecuted, which I, and many, are only too well aware of and equally outraged by. just apologise or shut up. …and what is ignoring all the victims statements regarding their horrific accounts of abuse at the hand of this individual if it is not ‘sweeping it under the carpet’, PB?

At the moment it is a free world and everyone is free to speak their mind. His/Her comments just confirm what some of us already think. This person is a complete xxxx and out to "shock". But actually the comments that he/she makes are not actually as shocking as the truth are they? If PB/pb were a dog, one would just pat him on the head and say, there there there.....

Of course people can report the comment if they disagree. As my initial response says, I don't have a problem with PB speaking his mind and raising issues of trial by media. I just thought his initial comment was flippant and in poor taste given the subject matter, not to mention potentially distressing to people affected either by the Saville enquiry or abuse in general. Anyway, I think I've made my point. No point stoking the fire any more. Agreed Martino, and the TiG moderators must have decided his comment fell inside the acceptable use policy.

This is the balance of rights and responsibility.....and IMO on this occasion PB has exercised the former without considering the latter.
