Despite the Scotsman agreeing to take the offensive article of their website-the hits continue unabated onto the rant-now about 300 since the Scotsman went to press. Comments continue to be supportive and very critical of those members of our community who have not the courage to declare themselves openly but conceal their venom behind anonymous tip offs to the press.
One comment however was slightly different;
If you are exposing the parochiality of community Council members, in the manner of John Galt's Annals of the Parish, then good luck; and 'keep in there'.Do however learn to spell H(e)art Davis correctly...Britian (sic) too.Regards.
I am contrite over Britian(sic) and I am not sure why I mentioned H(e)art Davis (who he? Blog ed)John Galt's Annals of the Parish has now been added to my reading list. But I need to point out that Mr AOL spell checker does not recognise 'parochiality' ! But it is a genuine word accepted by the OED if a rather clumsy one
